Album of the week

“The Road to Hell” by Chris Rea (1988)

Chris Rea has one of those voices, you know, like Tom Wait or that guy in the Crash Test Dummies, what is his name? oh ya Brad Roberts (you know, The Superman song, it’s been a long time!) You either like these kinds of baritones or you can’t stand them. I take them in context – but only if the song is good!
