Hi all, I'd like to hear the "Curse of the Traveller", "There She Goes" and "Looking For The Summer." Munich, I think, is a special place for his concerts. Nowadays he's playing at the Gasteig Philharmonic which was opened back in 1985. Prior to that Chris played his gi...

Thank you Ann for your reply. Yeah, I still have my collection on vinyl, along with my turn table, but nowadays I play mostly mp3 in my car. Every once in a while I do lay an LP on. When I listen to, for instance, "On The Beach", the melody together with the mellow sound of the sea, takes ...

I second all similar feelings about the new album. I expect a brand new album with all new songs; "new sound", "never heard before" etc., from Chris, but I realize that a musician always picks up his 'old' sound and elements from previous recordings and his musical trends. They a...

Hi all, I would hate to spoil for anyone the pleasure of watching and listening to this interesting interview, therefore I won't go into any details. Let me just reveal this much: I learned that Chris is working hard, every day, in the historical Abbey Road studio and writes songs every day. He said...

Here's this interview:

Enjoy!

Yeah, Merry Christmas everyone and let us hope for a great, new CD by Chris, in the early 2015!
Chris

I just keep my fingers crossed he can make it to the end of this exhausting tour.
Bleeding nose, concert in Nuremberg stopped, a visit to the hospital in Duesseldorf, his wife was against this tour...
Take care,
Chris

If I may... I think it's a long holiday weekend (All Saints'/All Souls' Day - Allerheiligen/Allerseelen) and there are only a few people working at the HR1, so they cannot put it up on the page. Therefore, they will do it, probably, tomorrow. They do have an interview with Peter Maffay and another s...

Thanks a lot MRB!
Finally, it's something I've been waiting for.
Best regards,
Chris

Hi Andrey, I'm glad that you're an optimist, Andrey, just like Ann and - I presume - other CR's fans. I'm disappointed somehow, to say the least, because I was waiting for a new material on a brand new CD. I wrote (at least we've gotten something) "instead of a new album" because still the...

Hi Ann, Andrey and all,
So, instead of a new CD, memory stick with a concert recorded live at different locations on this tour.
An interesting concept.
Best regards to you,
Chris

Hi Andrey,

There's no link, of course, because there couldn't be any.
By the way, the Chris Rea's July Montreux gig was placed on Youtube.
Best regards,
Chris

Great pictures, Andrey, thank you so much for re-posting them. The caption at the top of the photo collection (on the web page link provided) says, among others, that Chris will tour 15 German towns and at the session at the HR1 (Hessischer Rundfunk) he recorded a one-hour session which will be aire...

Hi Jim, Both of them are great and I like them, too. I'd like to point out, however, to yet another recent CD, dedicated to the memory of J.J. Cale. It came out on the market in late July, 2014, I believe everywhere. It's referred to as Eric Clapton's "They Call Me The Breeze; An Appreciation o...

Well, well... someday he might be rediscovered, but right now he's rather neglected by many (record companies, executives, managers and publishers in the first place). Thank you Tobi for striking the right note. I also have this feeling that as a fan, I'm being deprived of 'certain rights', so to sp...
