Chris Bowater - Instrumental Classics: The Collection CD 1 The Blue One
STYLE: MOR / Soft Pop RATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 2172- LABEL: Independent FORMAT: CD Album ITEMS: 1
Reviewed by Trevor Kirk
Slightly confusing artist credit on this one because, of the 10 tracks here, only one is performed by Chris himself, although he wrote all the music. Nearly all the tracks are culled from previously released instrumental CDs and feature David Heming and Andy Amey on their saxophones, Keith Routledge on piano, the guitar of Albie Harrap, horn maestro Raul D'Oliveira, Rachel Davis on harp, and Simon Bernard-Smith on panpipes. Some of Chris's most familiar and best loved tunes are here: "Holy Spirit We Welcome You", "Jesus Shall Take The Highest Honour", "Reign In Me", to name but three, and the quality of the musicianship is good. Excellent relaxing music for unwinding in the evening, or to help while away a boring car journey, or for personal meditation and worship.
