Thanks to the "wonderfull" support of my webhost (not) the site has been offline for a week. Worked hard to get everything back online. If you find any problems on a part of this site, please let me know.

To be honnest, I didn't like the album at all when it first came out. Always been a huge fan of the "pre-blues" material. Only two tracks I always loved "sun is rising" and "changing times". But after Blue Guitars (which is one of my favorite album) I started enjoying h...

Yes great news, isn't it? Pre-ordered it on Amazon.de right away. Although Stony Road has never been my favorite album, still great to see "old" material re-released. Even thoug I like all the compilations as well, still better to get an whole album.

Hello Jollypike,
Welcome to the site! The road is (one of) my favorite too. And Santo Spirito on LP would indeed be a dream but also Blue Guitars on LP...

Thanks for the link! If I understand it correctly Chris wrote it some time ago and specificly for Paul.

Thanks for the link and indeed good to see a recent article about him (although nothing news)

I know Chris is an extreme perfectionist (is that the correct English word?) and he doesn't like his older music released when he is not 110% satisfied wih the result of the recording.

Sounds like a splendid idea to me I will listen to "Driving home" for the rest of the year and hopefully a new EarBook for Christmas

Perhaps you are right. But he said that from the royalties of "Driving home..." alone he could live a very good life. So all the other revenues are extra I think.

Yes, I guess you are right. For myself I tried to stop hoping for another live performance. I would be very gratefull for some news music released. Chris said once he writes (wrote?) "... a song a day" so that makes me wonder where all thos splendid tunes are. So I keep my fingers crossed ...

Hello,
Welcome to this site. Here a massive fan as well (since 1991). Regrettably it has been very quiet here lately. So if you have other Rea fans, invite them over

I have been working on the tour database lately. It is not complete yet as it is realy much work especially the dates from the early days. There is lots of conflicting information to be find and I try to get the right dates and venues. Any help with missing or erroneous dates is much appreciated. Al...

Hello Mark, Welcome to the forum and great addition to this topic. Sadly the user Rob hasn't been online since 2013 so I don't think he'll read your comment. Regratably I don't play guitar but perhaps you chords can be of use for other visitors. Would be nice if you post a topic in Introduce yoursel...

Thanks for sharing! I wonder if someone here has bought something at this auction (I haven't regrettably)?
