His best "Best Of"
There are many Chris Rea compilations but this is one of the very few with the Elton John duet If You Were Me.


Prepare Yourself For a Bluesey Style of Southern Rock
That's what happened when I found the video for "Texas" and rediscovered one of those songs that I remembered playing on the radio back in the 1990s. You never know where the internet will take you when one interest takes you to something else entirely different. A unique voice that was meant for the jazz & blues genre and it especially works well when intertwined with southern rock and country. After hearing his other works, there was no doubt the Best of Chris Rea was worth the purchase. It's just too bad that "Texas" was not included with this compilation which is why I gave a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

The Best of Chris Rea
I really enjoy hearing his music. I just found this artist after listening to a radio station here in Denver. Plan on buying more of his cd's. He's from UK. .


Where have I been?
I can't believe I just *discovered* Chris Rea. . absolutely love this guy, from his great guitar work to that sexy gravely voice. Now where is he? Last album 1998? Anyone out there know? I would love for him to do more. He is another person, along with the Dalai Lama and Mark Knopfler I would like to take to lunch, I'm buying.
*Fool* and *Road to Hell* are favorites, but this is one of those rare CD's of which I happen to like EVERY single track. . . . . that never happens, ever. By all means BUY THIS, you won't be disappointed.
