Wow, was surprised to see you post him here. I have one of his CD's called "Auberge". Heard it playing at a local bookstoore back in the early 90's and snagged a copy because I thought his voice sounded so interesting. Thanks for the share. I hadn't heard him play for a long time.
Sheesh, I notice a hit on this post, (from England) then saw I had not replied to your comment...pretty much a sin for a small-time blogger like me.
Plus, meant to add:
I believe that was found in a YT search for the Fleetwood Mac version of "Go Your Own Way", one of my favorite songs. I thought this one might be a cover, worthy of posting, but instead it's a great song in its own right. I'm glad I noticed the hit to this post so I can go see what he's got in mp3 or maybe even a CD.
Thanks for posting! Love ya!
Update: There are plenty of karaoke mp3 d/ls at Amazon, but none of Chris Rea. There are several albums, including the one you have. The Greatest Hits has a great selection, but it's 30+ bucks.
