Description:
Personnel includes: Chris Rea (vocals, guitar).
"You Can Go Your Own Way" and "Three Little Green Candles" do not appear on the CD's track listing.
Because it was released in 1995, THE BEST OF CHRIS REA naturally doesn't include material from Rea's fine late-'90s albums. It does, however, provide an excellent overview of the singer-songwriter's late-'80s and early-'90s work. The set kicks off with the moody "Road to Hell" from Rea's album of the same name, and includes highlights like "On the Beach," with its shuffling, exotic groove, and the new-wave jump blues of "Auberge."
Rea's smooth, blues-drenched tunes are easy on the ears, but their polished surfaces shouldn't obscure the singer's meticulous craftsmanship, or the dark, sometimes ominous atmospherics that circulate throughout. Rea's stinging yet understated guitar playing is also not to be overlooked. Although his studio albums (ON THE BEACH and ROAD TO HELL, in particular) are worth seeking out, THE BEST OF CHRIS REA serves as a fine introduction to this talented and eminently listenable artist.
