Hi chrisreafan,

Rest assured everything's fine and dandy, no hard feelings, we just discuss music here.
Take care,
Chris

Hi Ann,

I know I wasn't called up to the black board by you, but I feel obliged to reply since it was me who had mentioned some similarity between Mark Knopfler's and Chris Rea's blues songs. Of cause, Chris wasn't involved in Mark's project.
Best regards,
Chris

Thank you for pointing out to this CD. It hasn't been released yet; it's scheduled for Sept. 18, 2012. The article in the Rolling Stone magazine suggests it's going to be an interesting RLJ's work, especially with Ben Harper in charge. BTW, the new double album (Privateering) by Mark Knopfler is res...

Hi, I hope everything is fine with you. Yes, cover of this Bob Dylan's song by Curtis Stigers is very good, indeed. I've seen a video of it on Youtube. It was shot (the caption says) just over a month ago at a Munich club. Good sound and camerawork. Meanwhile, I've been listening to the three new so...

Thank you Chrisreafan for this information. I didn't know she existed; a very similar voice. But, sorry to say, she's not Cesaria. The latest was somehow unique in voice and appearance. Thanks once again for letting me know. I'm waiting now for the new double album by Mark Knopfler. It's due Septemb...

Hi all, The "Do What You Do" comes from the Sara Randle album titled "The Sparrow". Chris wrote all of the songs on it and he also played the guitar as they were recorded in a studio. The CD was published back in 2003. There are ten songs on it: The Sparrow, Working Day, Cry Baby...

I don't know if anyone came across this artist. He's name is Bap Kennedy and he's from Northern Ireland. Bab used to be the leader of an interesting group called "The Energy Orchard". Now, after a few years in the US, he's back home. On January 30, 2012, he will publish his new album calle...

Hi Jutta and all, Thank you Jutta for your answer. I would rather prefer attending Chris Rea concerts in small clubs or dance halls, somewhere in London, Munich, Amsterdam or what have you, but I understand his management must satisfy much larger groups of fans. Warsaw doesn't really have a descent ...

Thank you Jutta for posting this interview. I didn't know, for instance, his forefathers (on the Italian side of the family) were Sinti living in the mountains. It doesn't really matter to me. I was also surprised he spoke quite openly about (a possibility) of departing Great Britain (where he's onl...

Oh no, we're all going to miss him, for sure! Robert was his number one guitar backup. I hope Chris is not going to completely refresh, rebuild his band?
Happy New Year, 2012, to you Jim and all of you on this forum.
Chris

Yes, great Argentinian artist, indeed. It's hard to get his CD locally, though. I just love "Sin Luna" song from the CD "Santa Milonga" (2004). It's on Youtube.
Take care,
Chris

Hi all, I finally bought a copy of the latest Chris Rea's album "Santo Spirito Blues" and I've been listening to it on my computer for a day and a half now. I got it in downtown Warsaw at the multimedia store over the counter, so to speak, without any hassle or such. The Polish official pr...
