Chris Rea Artist Snapshot:

British guitar hero Chris Rea may be heavily influenced by American blues, but curiously the U.S. is one of the few places where he hasn't achieved star status. Across Europe, he's widely known for his searing blues-rock guitar style, deep gravelly vocals, and songs that range from dark and moody rock to amiably radio-friendly pop. He was even the recipient of a remixing treatment that brought him a dance-club hit in 2000. His latter-day material, however, found him embracing his beloved blues roots once more.

Title Note

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.
