A
hetvenes évek második felének nagy felfedezettjét, az ír-olasz
származású Chris Reat, a kritika mint az "angol Springsteent" méltatta.
Személyisége, dalszövegeinek témái, rythm and blues, country és folk
alapokra építkezo zenéje valóban sokban emlékeztet Sprinsteen
muzsikájára, de zenei univerzuma mégis lényegesen más. Gitározási és
éneklési technikája, ez többnyire parladóban elmondott és csak ritkán
énekelt dallamvilág nem amerikai hanem kelta hagyományokra épül.
Pályáját 1975-ben kezdte.Ez a CD Chris Rea legismertebb felvételeinek
2008-as változataiból készült válogatás album, „Fool (If You Think It’s
Over) – The Definitive Greatest Hits” címmel.
British singer and
guitarist Chris Rea has enjoyed a run of popularity in Europe during
the late '80s and early '90s after almost a decade of previous
recording. Rea started out performing with a local group called
Magdalene, taking David Coverdale's place; the band won a national
talent contest in 1975 as the Beautiful Losers, but still failed to get
a record contract. Rea left the band and recorded the album Whatever
Happened to Benny Santini?, which alluded to a discarded stage name,
which went gold on the strength of the U.S. Top 20 hit "Fool (If You
Think It's Over)." Rea was not heard from again in the U.S. for some
time, concentrating his efforts on his main fan base of Europe. A
compilation of tracks from Rea's '80s albums, New Light Through Old
Windows, was released in 1988 and sold well in the U.K. and Europe and
charted in the U.S. Rea followed it up with the critically acclaimed
The Road to Hell, which many regarded as his best album. It and its
follow-up, Auberge, went to the top of the U.K. album charts, but did
not prove as successful in the U.S., where he has failed to chart with
his subsequent releases. He released his most ambitious project in
2005, an eleven-album, 130-track box set of all new material inspired
by the blues and his own paintings called Blue Guitars. ~ Steve Huey,
