CHRISOPHER BLUE
Songs for Lovers, Loners & Losers (Self)
Reviewed by Holly Day

This is like listening to two separate and equally wonderful records. The first half of the CD is just Chrisopher Blue singing along with his electric guitar, sad and melancholy and deep and dark and beautifully maudlin. For the second half of the CD, Blue brings on more instruments and becomes even more dark, throwing in lots of religious and death references with the harsh sounding keyboards and percussion and a guitar that seems to throw itself in and out of tune of its own angry volition. Blue's music is so beautifully bitter and sulky that I'd hate to have him write anything about me, but it's lots of fun listening to the vicious, bitingly petty and clever things he says about everyone else in his songs.
