Fabulous

Yes great news, isn't it? Pre-ordered it on Amazon.de right away. Although Stony Road has never been my favorite album, still great to see "old" material re-released. Even thoug I like all the compilations as well, still better to get an whole album.

I remember the album coming and delighted it was blues. I was knocked out by it.

I saw Chris live for the first time on that tour in Brighton. It was awesome! He played a lot of the album plus a few more recently re worked hits at the end.

To be honnest, I didn't like the album at all when it first came out. Always been a huge fan of the "pre-blues" material. Only two tracks I always loved "sun is rising" and "changing times". But after Blue Guitars (which is one of my favorite album) I started enjoying his blues material more and more. And now I like this almost as much as the older stuff.
