Chris Rea - The Shadow Of A Fool

The Shadow Of A Fool from album "The Return of the Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes". The Return of the Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes was released by Chris Rea in 2008. It comprises 3CDs and 2 x 10" Vinyl records in an 80 page hardback book. It is the second album of his project, the Blue Notes. The book relates the history of "The Delmonts", an imaginary band in the early 1960s, who evolved into The Hofner Bluenotes. It also gives a brief history of the Hofner guitar, and its importance in the development of music in Britain. The book is lavishly illustrated with period photos and mocked up posters and newspaper cuttings about the band, together with some of Rea's paintings, and photos of Hofner guitars. The music was recorded by Rea (guitars), Colin Hodgkinson (bass) and Martin Ditcham (drums), who feature in the book, together with Niel Drinkwater and Robert Ahwai. After the album was released, Rea started a European tour. He and his band would perform as a quintet. The concerts were divided in three sections. In first, they would play only songs from Delmonts (CD1), then some blues songs from Fabulous Hofner Blue Notes (CD2), and in the third part Rea's greatest hits (like: The Road to Hell, Josephine, On the Beach ...). Lyrics: The shadow of a fool I hear the angels scream they know the devil's out. I sure don't know at all what this is all about. I need my true loves arm I need my true loves kiss. No matter whose side you're on nobody needs all this. And if there is a God well, they've broken all his rules and left us here fighting for the shadow of a fool. Now I'm trained to go into the darkest night. And in the name of the angels stand for what is right. But so much is wrong in this hell of blood and fear nobody knows no more the reason we are here. And if there is a God well, they've broken all his rules and left us here fighting for the shadow of a fool.
