Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Oh well, perhaps the pre-ordered items would be for too many days in the mail for me? I have no clue. But ever since they've moved the Amazon shipping facilities from Germany - East, everything ordered through them is being expedited from here.
Take care,
Chris

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

I went to a local multimedia store here and I was assured "we'll have the new CD by Chris Rea this Friday", so let's see if this will come true. I'll just go to the store to pick up my copy. The pre-ordering - in my opinion - is just a way to probe the market: how many copies to print and ...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Once again, thanks Ann, I'm just listening to this great song, that is to the "Last Train", and I just hope the whole album will be similar.
Take care,
Chris

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Yeah, his finger snapping is well known. Remember the one recorded on "It's All Gone"? I believe just everyone still snaps his finger listening to this song, making sure he/she does it at the right moment....

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

It worked fine for me. Lovely song, very melodic, nostalgic; his 'old' style, I would say.
Thank you Ann for posting and for the instructions how to get to it.

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Yeah, I guess you are right; Chris, most probably, would have contract obligations to go on tour as well as participating in a few promotional events together with publishing an album. It's all a bit complicated, I know.

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

A lot of things is much clearer now, after this interview. I think we all should be thankful for everything he does for us under these circumstances, as far as the new CD and the tour. My God, a stroke, problems with two fingers (probably numb) and the body partially out of balance. All this on top ...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Yeah, a typical Chris Rea's song it is. Thank you Ann for posting it. I would say I could detect some old elements from different tunes by Chris, but I like it anyway. Hopefully the whole album will be similar. Easy listening, good for the road.
Best regards to you all,
Chris

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Exactly! We all mean - I presume - : he has some running expenses and he has to cover them. For this he obviously needs money; there's no other way out to solve it.

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

What I found interesting in the interview was that he was cut after "medically..." (00:14 in the Youtube video). I'm sure he added at least another item on this list. In the interview with the Daily Mail he said something about business things that went utterly wrong ("and some busin...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Yeah. I was just teasing, you know. I realized the band was in place, but at the same time I was still hoping for Max Middleton to be included, too. The bass player was replaced, alright. I will miss Sylvin Marc on stage.
Well, after all it's Chris who decides on that, right?

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Thank you Ann for sharing this great news with us. I'm pleased Chris decided to gather together his old band again. Sorry to hear Sylvin isn't in it. The thing about this computer in Chris' studio has taken me aback. I always thought he was avoiding electronic gear whenever it was possible, so that ...

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

Thank you Ann for sharing the link. This article says a lot.
I just hope Chris will be able to finish the tour.
I would be satisfied with the new recordings, without the exhausting tour.
I wish him well regardless what he does.
Take care,
Chris

Re: NEW RELEASE 2017 - ROAD SONGS FOR LOVERS!!!

I respect all critical voices about the upcoming album, but taking into consideration the fact that Chris can hardly sing (and probably play), as he used to, I'll be grateful for any new or "refreshed" material, including "Money." I think that his best years are over. It's rather...
