Trivia
Interesting facts about Chris Rea. By Songfacts.
He sold somewhere in the realm of 30 million albums, but Rea didn't look or act like a famous musician. In the '70s and '80s, he was often mistaken for a stagehand at TV appearances, and sometimes even at his own concerts.
In his native UK, he's best known for his 10th album, The Road to Hell, which went to #1 after it was released in 1989. Written in a week, the album deals with the isolation and ennui he felt after buying a house on the shore and commuting to London.
He was a top slide guitarist, but didn't start playing the instrument until he was 22.
