A good taste of Rea,
By
This review is from: Auberge (Audio CD)
I highly anticipated this Chris Rea album after the radio success and personal enjoyment of Dancing with Strangers and The Road to Hell. Auberge took on a different style than its immediate predecessors, more low-key and probably less musically diverse, but it is still an enjoyable album.The title track is the strongest song and obvious single, even though its guitar riff is overused by Rea (listen to the closing riff on Just Wanna be With You from 'Road as well as Johnny Needs a Fast Car from Espresso Logic). Gone Fishing is typical laid-back Rea, but hardly deserved to be included on his "Best of" album. Other memorable songs are towards the end of the disc: Every Second Counts and Looking for the Summer (also on his "Best of" album). Overall, this album is worth investing in if you like Chris Rea's brand of blues.

AUBERGE - One of, if not the, best of his work,
By John (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Auberge (Audio CD)
A well put-together collection of tunes. What he may lack in technical skills, he has more than made up with the composition, great vocals, and just an all-around, nice selection of songs. There's something here for every taste, and you would look hard to find anything you don't like. One of those CDs you can easily listen to from beginning to end.

Melancholy, Nostalgia and Lost Love,
By D. Wilson "WilsongsX" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Auberge (Audio CD)
Whether or not you are a romantic person, this album will return you to the places and memories your heart just won't allow you to forget.Rea's voice is mesmerizing and his guitar playing is, surprisingly, very good. He has crafted some beautiful love songs on this mellow record and it is one of the few CD's I always take with me on road trips and vacations. "Heaven" is a bittersweet masterpiece that describes the simple joy and escapism of driving: "... the paradise of going somewhere that's still so far away ..." The guitar work alone on this song is worth the price of admission. "At The Mention Of Your Name" will put a lump in your throat for that special relationship that slipped away - and from which you never completely recovered. Rea does a superb job of capturing those awkward moments of reflection - from having those memories inadvertently triggered by a well-meaning friend, to the "sunny days and drunken nights" of trying to erase them. I have been surprised over the years at how many people have this lone Rea album in their collections. It's a wild card for sure. Not many folks know about Chris Rea, and he certainly never had much success in the States, but he's good. Real good. If you are not familiar with Chris Rea, add Auberge to your collection. It really is a must have. Highly recommended. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

From an Aggie Sikh Chris Rea Fan,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Auberge (Audio CD)
I was introduced to the music of Chris Rea by my dear friend Jeebu (Hi Jeebu, remember YCCE) in 1992. Since then I have listened to virtually all that Chris Rea has to offer. However, Auberge remains the first and the best album of his that I ever owned. The music is very basic. Guitars, drums, and an incredible voice (I feel that his voice starts from inside his boots). I would especially recommend you listen to this album after a hard days work. Helps me unwind. Happy listening. Cheers.....

One of the best,
By Ed Wilberding - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Auberge (Audio CD)
The Road to Hell was a critical success, but Auberge may be even better. Red Shoes, Sing a Song of Love To Me, and The Mention of Your Name are among his best. Chris Rea continues to redefine himself. As is the case with most artists, he misses occasionally, but overall he is someone who the American listening public is missing out on because of a lack of U.S. promotion.
