Blues Matters! 6 Cover feature Chris Rea Originating from Middlesborough; Chris is well known for his song “Fool (If You Think It’s Over)”. His distinctive graveled voice is haunting and unmistakable. As well as being an excellent songwriter/ guitarist he paints to a high standard. At this time Chris is still fighting the effects of the cancer he fell foul of a few years ago. We all wish him the best for his speedy recovery.
