Chris Rea - On The Beach .

Road To Hell And Back - Farewell Tour.

Filmed live at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham, The Road To Hell and Back captures Chris Rea in fine form as he takes us through 17 classics including Let's Dance, Road To Hell and Easy Rider. Chris's songs are performed in an intimate setting and that famous gravely voice holds the entire audience along with some very bluesy guitars. Disc 2 features a documentary of life on the road and is as illuminating as it is engaging.

Chris Rea was a rock star with the sort of gravel voice that was ideally suited to singing the blues, or was he a blues star who occasionally lent his talent to performing rock. The Road to Hell & Back was his 28th album in total including five different greatest-hits compilations, but was his first live album. Recorded at various venues during his 2006 tour from Warsaw to Moscow and Plymouth, Oxford and Brighton, all the tracks show a tight, together band, the Fireflies led by Chris Rea, not in the best of health but enjoying performing to appreciative, sometimes too polite audiences, who applaud in all the right places (at the end of each song).
