Hi from Scotland,i am very lucky to have met Chris 4 times as i was a sound engineer in the SECC in Glasgow,i have seen him 8 times and to be honest you have only scratched the surface there is so much more as he has made 28 studio albums,after he came out of hospital he started to write Blues what he really loved.He has a box set of Blues on YT you should have a listen,Regards Ian
About the first song. You just listened to one of the most fabulous songs written ever by one of the greatest artists. What a voice, lirics and guitar performance. WOW . Chris is like a hiden treasure for those who know.....
CHRIS REA: a musical genius, a self-taught guitar player, a deep voice that emerged by chance, a blues-rock enthusiast... an undisputed master, a reference. Listen to REA once and become a fan forever. Thanks. [NB1: I have always considered REA's intros to be exceptional.] [NB2: At the time of these two songs, REA was playing with a Fender Strato which he called "Pinky".]
Chris Rea--mercy, he's got the Mark Knopfler genes. Like MK, his lyrics tell a story, the musicianship amplifies the story beyond the mere words. Perfection on both songs, IMHO
Hello Mainor! Lucky for me (and you!) I found Chris on this channel quite a while back, and I already have several reactions on my channel! Here is what I've done so far 😊: Driving Home for Christmas, Texas, Set Me Free, The Road to Hell 1 & 2, Tell Me There's a Heaven, Josephine, On the Beach, Looking for the Summer and Fool if you Think it's Over!! 😁
@@retroreactions.... Beautiful! Tried to find more reaction from yours about Rea but had no luck before. I'll do a new research, and THANKS for the heads up, and your passion for Music!!! :)
Oh wow, I thought it was easy. Have you gone to my home page and just type in "Rea" or "Chris Rea" under search? Oh maybe if you're on a mobile device it won't let you search. If you'd just like all those video links, let me know and I'll send them to you!
What an amazing duo of songs! “Curse Of The Traveler” I’ve not heard in a while, what a great song. “Looking For A Rainbow” is one of my favorites from the Road To Hell album. I’m certain I mentioned it to you a while ago, and knew you’d love it! As far as great slide-guitar players out there, I’ve gotta put Chris pretty high up there! 😊 Great week so far my friend.
Chris Rea was my ex's favourite but I only remember a few songs, not either of those. Such a great silky voice! COTT reminded me of Every Breath You Take, for obvious reasons and Brandon, this kind of guitar I like (I secretly enjoy country music!). LFAR is very bayou and I like it even more, the chord progression is beautiful. Thank you Brandon ❤
My friend passed today. He was a traveller, looking for a rainbow. He had a heart attack. Sorry to Debbie downer the video. It was just a beautifully fitting video, for me today.
Two songs of gold. Both quite different, but both gave a fully nourishing and rewarding emotional experience... Thanks for watching! 🥰

Glad you're continuing on your Chris Rea journey with two great songs today. He has such a vast catalog, you have so much yet to experience.

Curse of the Traveller is my fave of him. I love the intro and the solos
Great to hear. His music is always superb. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I hear Mark Knopfler vibes. That's great!!
A MASTER is what he is love his music ! You might try Aurberge and Texas and at the beach
Interesting, thank you. It's like pop country? I love it.
In the second song there is a line "...and we're looking for Maggie's farm". I think this could be a reverance to the Bob Dylan song "Maggie’s Farm"!
Maggie Thatcher
Glad that you have found C.Rea!!! Please give us your reactions for "On The Beach" "Slow Dance" "Texas" "The Hustler" as well. Thanks!

You're very welcome, thanks for your support and kindness! 😊
Such a rich voice. Always class. Are the 'Moodies' due again soon? An unusually upbeat track well worth a play is 'The story in your eyes'.

Yes. Definitely read of your love for "Looking".... his vibes are always excellent! More new artists and great music upcoming!

He's also one of my top favorite discoveries made on this channel! If you're ever bored one day you should watch all my Chris Rea reactions!!!
@@retroreactions.... How could I be borderline with the amount of videos I haven't watched yet?
