I like the songs "Going fishing", "Heaven", "Winter song", "Sing a song of love to me",
"Looking for the summer" and the exquisit "The mention of your name". Excellent record, excellent sound and very good song from this english singer/guitarrist.
If you like Chris Rea, you must have this CD. . . no other way!.


Auberge
He is not afraid to try different things. Chris Rea is a brilliant artist who is just as much at home writing fine music as he is playing it. Some of these work and some don't. Most of the variations to the norm that are provided on this album work very very well. It is a journey of types from sweet joyful tracks to more rocky numbers. Give it a listen.


Auberge
Rea's voice is really soothing and it is a great after work album to kick back to and take a drink or two. Auberge being Chris Rea's 1991 release is an album that I pretty much picked up by chance at my local library. The book-let is nothing special. The cover is nice but the font inside is awfull. Songs that stand out on this release are ofcourse the title track Auberge. Other songs that are good are Gone Fishing and Heaven. 4/5.

Overlooked genius (at least in the US)
Rea visited the US charts a few years little, albeit briefly with "Auberge", which is one of the smoothest, most elegant CD's out there. The only tune anybody except real fans can name from Chris Rea is his pop single "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" from his debut many years ago.
Rea is no stranger in Britain - in fact, he's a bona fide guitar hero, and rightly so, as his slide work is as slick and sinewy as a basketful of snakes. Add his husky baritone and mellow background musicians, and you have a real class act.
The high points of "Auberge", possibly his finest work, include "Gone Fishing", "Looking For the Summer" and the bouncy "Red Shoes". Why his smooth music hasn't made the same impact as later Clapton music, Sting, or any other adult contemporaries you could name is a mystery, but that's the fickle music biz for you. Clapton may make his guitar gently weep; Rea makes his break down and sob.

Auberge
Chris lends his typical rich voice to this CD and includes both somber and whimsical tunes.
