I didn't discover Chris Rea until the early ninety's when I first heard his distinct voice in his big single The Road to Hell. His music is rock with that bluesy voice and some good lyrics. I have many of his albums on CD, but this is the first I have on vinyl. He kind of reminds me of John Hiatt. (Edited)
