Chris Rea – The Artist

Christopher Anton Rea (born 1951) is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist from Middlesbrough. Known for his distinctive voice and his slide guitar playing, Rea has recorded twenty five studio albums, two of which topped the UK Albums Chart, The Road to Hell in 1989 and its successor, Auberge, in 1991. He had already become “a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10” with the single “The Road to Hell (Part 2)”.
Over the course of his long career, Rea’s work has at times been informed by his struggles with serious health issues. His many hit songs include “I Can Hear Your Heartbeat”, “Stainsby Girls”, “Josephine”, “On the Beach”, “Let’s Dance”, “Driving Home for Christmas”, “Working on It”, “Tell Me There’s a Heaven”, “Auberge”, and “Julia”. He also recorded a duet with Elton John, “If You Were Me”.

Fool (If You Think It’s Over) – The Song

‘Fool (If You Think It’s Over)’ is a two-part song written by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea and released on the album of the same name. It was released as a single, with only part 2 on the A-side of the 7-inch. The single is Rea’s biggest success in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was inspired by the frustrations of M25 and M4 motorway rush-hour traffic.[

The Fender Stratocaster Guitar – The Shape

This record has been cut into a silhouette of Chris Reas signature guitar the Fender Stratocaster. The Fender Stratocaster is a model of electric guitar designed in 1954 by Leo Fender, Bill Carson, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares. The Fender Musical Instruments Corporation has continuously manufactured the Stratocaster from 1954 to the present. It is a double-cutaway guitar, with an extended top “horn” shape for balance. Along with the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster, it is one of the most-often emulated electric guitar shapes. “Stratocaster” and “Strat” are trademark terms belonging to Fender.
