Description:
A captivating smoky voice wraps up a grown-up Christmas.... Chris Rea, a singer-songwriter who represents the UK, plays background music for grown-ups with his smoldering slide guitar and enchanting smoky voice. Chris Rhea's first Christmas album, "THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM," is now complete, combining his Christmas songs, including "DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS," which is loved around the world as Christmas background music, into a single work! The best album for an adult Christmas is now being delivered to the world! Chris Rea burst onto the music scene with his 1978 hit "Fool (If You Think It's Over)," a contemporary AOR sound based on blues-rock that became a string of hits in his native England and other European countries,One of the UK's leading singer-songwriters. His distinctive, sobbing slide guitar tones and smoky voice resonate around the world, and he is one of the UK's most legendary guitarists, having released 25 studio albums and sold over 40 million albums in a career spanning more than 40 years. He is one of the UK's most beloved solo artists. His 1988 classic "Driving Home for Christmas" has become, more than 30 years after its release, as iconic a symbol of Christmas as holly, mistletoe, and turkey, and has become the signature background music of Christmas around the world.He has released his most popular Christmas songs, and now his first Christmas compilation work, named "THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM," is being delivered to the world! This Christmas compilation album, which includes 8 Christmas-themed songs from his catalog, will be released in two formats, CD and analog, as well as a white 7" analog version of his signature song "Driving Home For Christmas". The CD and analog version of "Driving Home For Christmas" will also be released at the same time.Note that the instrumental version of "Driving Home For Christmas" is included on the B-side of this 7-inch analog release. Of course, "Driving Home For Christmas" opens "THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM," but the compilation closes with the original version of the song, which many people may not be familiar with. The original version of the song was originally included as a B-side to his 1986 single "Hello Friend".Chris Rea recorded the song again in 1988 for inclusion on his first compilation album, NEW LIGHT THROUGH OLD WINDOW. The song was a modest success at the time of its release, but as time went on, more and more people began to appreciate the song's appeal, and it became a staple on Christmas programs, Christmas compilations, movies, and playlists in December. Since 2007, the song has been in the top 40 of the U.K. charts every Christmas season, making it a true representative of December.
