Chris Rea - Working On It

Review by Rosemary Welch

Working On It is the ninth studio album by British musician Chris Rea, released in 1989. The album received positive reviews from critics and fans alike. Rea's signature bluesy rock sound is showcased throughout the album, with tracks like "Working On It" and "Let's Dance" featuring his distinctive guitar playing.

The album also features some more experimental tracks, such as "Ace of Hearts," which features a more electronic sound, and "Shamrock Diaries," which incorporates elements of Irish folk music.

One standout track on the album is "The Road to Hell (Part 2)," a follow-up to Rea's hit song "The Road to Hell." The song features a haunting melody and lyrics that touch on themes of mortality and the struggles of everyday life.

The greatest Bruce Springsteen song he didn’t write.

indidalsanto

Chris is such an underrated artist. Sad that he's never mentioned with the other artists of his time!

This is one of those rare gems as you can play it a trillion times ( which I probably have) and each and every time it sends a shiver up your spine!. Classic Chris, love him!

chrisf59a9b27da

Guy sounds like Bruce Springsteen. Although his voice might actually be better. Very soulful

mariavlc215

I said I'm working on it !!!!

Our radio stations didn't give this much airplay but fortunately the song was featured in a Miami Vice episode during a junkyard gunfight. The setting was perfect.
