About this album
New Light Through Old Windows is a strong career-spanning overview of Chris Rea’s blend of blues rock and soft rock. Issued in 1988, the compilation gathered some of his best-known material and helped widen his audience just as his reputation for deft guitar work and understated, melodic songwriting was growing. The set includes favourites such as Fool (If You Think It’s Over), On The Beach, Josephine and the seasonal staple Driving Home For Christmas, alongside re-recorded versions that gave the collection a fresh, unified feel. It remains one of the clearest entry points into Rea’s catalogue and a useful snapshot of his late-1980s appeal.
