A Great Collection of Songs -- Especially for the Uninitiated
The voice reminded me of Bruce Springsteen but the songs were more mellow and jazzy. I first became acquainted with the music of Chris Rea while living in England during the mid-1980's. Like Dylan, Warren Zevon and even Springsteen himself, Rea's is not a beautiful voice but his range works perfectly for the songs he sings and especially the hits on this album. The voice has become more raspy over the years but these are still great songs sung by the only man who has the soul to really show them off. I'm surprised he hasn't picked up a bigger following in the U. S. over the years. For the long-time fan or the uninitiated, this album is a great place to start.


Amazing! "Very Best Of Chris Rea"
This CD is Great,Great,Great! After years of not hearing this awesome performer. . . . . I am glad to have this CD. "Driving Home For Christmas" is now my favorite Holiday song. I Love "On The Beach" and "Fool If You Think It's Over" from the seventy's. All of the songs are very well done and to me not a bad one can be found here. His voice is very "sexy". This guy has many musical talents. I want more of his work!!!!!.


Looking For The Original Version of "Fool If You Think It's Over"?
If you expect to find the original version of "Fool If You Think It's Over" on this CD, you will not get it. . You will find it on "Hard To Find 45s on CD Volume 8 Seventies Pop Classics". . . .


Chris Rea
While his music may not be for everybody, if you like the music and melodies of the Moody Blues or The Alan Parsons Project, you will enjoy the music of Chris Rea. Chris Rea is a wonderful artist.


Very Best of Chris Rea
I was introduced to Chris Rea by a friend with "The Road to Hell" cassette (no cds back then). probably around 1995. . loved "Texas" and couldn't figure out why others hadn't discovered Mr. Rea. I forgot about that music over the years, but the other night while watching the intro to a new tv series, I could've sworn the song had Chris Rea singing. Afterwards, I watched the credits to no avail, went onto the Amazon site and did some searching around; ordered "Road to Hell" cd. When i received the cd, i listened to it intently and decided i needed more of his music. I ordered the Very Best of Chris Rea from Amazon. . . and I've had it about 2 weeks. I fall more in love with it the more I listen to it. Do yourself a favor and buy it for yourself. Heck, buy it for any of your relatives or friends who you owe a present to. This is music for the ages and you shouldn't pass it by. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to be able to recommend a superior cd or movie to someone. Enjoy!.
