Others performing CR songs

Post by gjvg »

Hi there,

Searching on the web , looking for all kind of information about Chris, found this video on YouTube.
The original is from CR on his album Shamrock Diaries.

What about this version ???

Take a deep breath and cover your ears for a very 'original' interpretation of 'driving home' :shock:

I quite like that version of 'stone'. Paul Rodgers on vocals, he is also class, and is fronting one of my other favourite arists now, Queen.
could this be true, could this be me..

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach

Johnny Hallyday singing "True to you" in French.

The video is too --- for me and I don't think Chris wrote this song to be meant like this but it sounds good in French.
On the album version, by the way, Chris Rea played slide as well as the solo in the middle of the song.
