Dancing Down the Stony Road is the seventeenth studio album by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 2002 on his own record label, Jazzee Blue. The album was also released in Europe by Edel under the shorter title Stony Road with different cover art and only one CD (except Germany), while the original UK is double CD edition with additional tracks.[1] The album is notable for its change of Rea's previous rock music style to Delta blues and gospel blues.[2] It reached the #14 position in UK album charts,[3][4] and was certified Gold by BPI.[5] A version of Dancing Down The Stony Road was used in the BBC television programme Speed.[1]
