Hello Tobias,
and thank you for replying! Yes, me too! I prefer the older ones. My all-out favourite CD is "Auberge" and my favourite song from it, is "Gone Fishing" mostly because of the haunting guitar!!! I t makes me shiver! After that comes "King of the Beach" with "Sail Away" as the special song in it.I lost my husband two years ago, after an illness in which he suffered greatly,so I associate this with saying goodbye to him as he was set free from the pain. There are special songs for me on all his earlier CDs including "Wired to the Moon", "Blue Cafe", "On the Beach","La Passione" and so on....... I have a soft spot for "Fool", "Standing in your Doorway" from his first CD, and "Seabird" from Deltics (probably because my three sons loved his music, and they all have the old LPs from the 70s and 80s which they played constantly, and so I have memories.
I think he is an oustanding guitarist, and found the DVD documentary in which he lets us watch him getting "Stony Road" ready for release fascinating. Do you have this?
Like you I will certainly buy the forthcoming October release
and I quite enjoy his new music, but the gentle haunting earlier ones will always be my first love!!!!!
I have managed to collect some video clips and they are my pride and joy! I have both versions of "on the Beach" and my most recent
additions were, "Loving you Again" "Too Much Pride" and "Hello Friend"
It is good to talk with fellow admirers of Chris,s music and so interesting to hear what other people like especially, and the stories behind their choices!!! (everybody has stories)
Take care then Tobias,
Every good wish,
Leila.
