Chris Rea - Greatest Hits (2007) Label: Warner Music TV / East West Format: 2CD, Compilation, Remastered Codec: FLAC (Lossless)

Disc Two acts as a "Best of the Rest," exploring the bluesier, more introspective side of his career. It is here that the audiophile nature of this release truly shines. Songs like "Stony Road" and "Easy Rider" are stripped back, relying on raw guitar tones and Rea’s world-weary voice. The FLAC compression allows the listener to hear the fingers sliding on the fretboard and the breath behind the vocals, creating an intimate, "in-the-room" atmosphere.
