LP Chris Rea: The Christmas Album

This eight-track Christmas-themed LP by Chris Rea is closely associated with his iconic 1988 hit Driving Home For Christmas, which became a Christmas classic and appears on the album in two versions. With Reas distinctive raspy voice and melancholic rock-blues style, the album offers a thoughtful and warm Christmas atmosphere rather than traditional cheerful carols. Alongside Driving Home For Christmas, it includes Footsteps In The Snow, Joys Of Christmas, Smile, Winter Song, Footprints In The Snow and Rudolph’s Rotor Arm, as well as the 1986 version of Driving Home For Christmas.
