专辑简介

This is a nice enough "Best of" album by one of the best blues guitarists out there. Chris Rea is well known in Europe, South Africa and Australia it seems, but quite unheard of in the US. He has a unique sound, different from many American bluesmen in that he incorporates some world music sounds, most notably Caribbean influences, and he has some happier, poppier songs sprinkled throughout his works.

This collection is different from his earlier Best of (New Light Through Old Windows), in that it obviously includes more recent material while foregoing some of the older, more familiar hits. It's too heavy with songs from Auberge in particular (tracks 5, 10, 14 and 15). I probably like New Light better, but this compilation serves well as an introduction to Chris Rea.
