Chris Rea - massively underrated. Thanks for featuring him, Fil.

[crowhaven]

Thank you so much Fil. I hope that those that aren't familiar with Chris, will google and search for more of his music. In 2001 he survived pancreatic cancer and more recently a bad stroke. So what you see in this more "subdued" video is a triumph in itself that he keeps going. His health wasn't good in 2006. And ten years later a stroke really disabled him, but not his spirit. I am from the USA Fil, and I have all of Chris' music, at least all I can find. His raspy unique voice, energy, lust for the beautiful things in life, and the heart he puts into his music is like no other. I can keep his music going in the background of my life and be quite upbeat and happy. That's Chris. My wife loves to hear his music in the house too. Special memories for us. Anyone that gives a thumbs down to this man, needs to go dig deeper into his music and his life. he is an everyman, Thank you so much for telling a bit of his story. I love his man.

I am so glad you decided to review and analize this ultra talented  man... I loved him back in his earlier days, yes 'Fool if you think it's over'  And also another favorite of mine, is Working on it"  He is a man who beat pancreatic cancer, I have always been a fan.. AND married to the same woman all these years, Just a fantastic singers, guitar player, performer.... SO glad you did this analysis. Love him

Apart from his amazing voice and guitarmanship, Chris comes from the same town as the wife - hence he has always been a firm favourite with us. We saw him live about 12 years ago and I was blown away by his guitar sound. The next week I went and tried out an Italia Maranello and so impressed that I bought it. Fine guitar and a great price. For those who haven't listened to Chris' work - skip the commercial stuff and listen to his post-illness work such as the Dancing Down the Stony Road album - griity and soulful, the music reflects his pain as a result of his illness - amazing stuff

I'm absolutely madly in love with Chris! Have been since "Fool if You Think It's Over" came out. I was terrified when he got Pancreatic cancer, and so relieved when he made it through. My favorite song of his is one I cant listen to without sobbing my heart out. "Tell Me There's A Heaven".

Beautiful expressive slide solo! Love the emotion in his voice!

I was listening to Chris Rea's "Road to Hell" last night and thinking he'd make for a great analysis. Nothing like a jolt of synchronicity to send shivers up the spine! Many thanks!

[SidBonkers]

A great blues artist who is often overlooked despite having record sales that other better known blues artists would envy, ive always liked his music and have several of his albums starting with On The Beach when I first discovered him.

[frankmorrow]

Loved The Road to Hell album. Especially Texas (since I am from Texas) and You Must Be Evil. Great album. Never get tired of listening to it. Thanks for spotlighting him!

[rmcellig]

I am so beyond the moon that you featured Chris. He is an eternal gem. I discovered his music in the late 70's and was captivated by his voice and overall musicianship. Well done Fil! 😀

[marys.]

Under the influence of the great sounds of the Chris Rea's stratocaster I started playing the guitar. Chris Rea, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour are my biggest inspirations .

[lastone]

I have always loved music and listened all my life, but now that I am retired, I find myself having a greater appreciation for it. Fil, you have really helped me with this and I thank you for it❣️Great analysis tonight.

Ty, Fil. Because of your feature I had to do some research on Chris. What a life he’s had, including major health probs. Pancreatic cancer, having most of his pancreas removed. Read that he takes 34 pills and 7 injections/day to compensate. Had a stroke, as well. Gotta love this guy and his passion for living.

[CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

Thank you, thank you thanked you!!! I love this "The Road to Hell" is also one of his songs that's worth watching him play!

[roses]

I find his voice oddly soothing and very mystical. Thank you for yet another 17 minutes well spent!

[santamara]

[unklewink]
