A guitar and melancholic poetry echoing on a quiet street corner
Combining lyricism with a rock sensibility, this ambitious album saw Chris Rea make a breakthrough in the UK charts.
Based on a simple sound and delicate melody, the album highlights the harmony between Lea's guitar and vocals. The lyrical melodies dominate, evoking scenes of urban loneliness and new encounters. Though the composition is minimal, the well-crafted arrangements give each track a unique character, creating a quiet strength somewhere between rock and pop.
