About this album
The Road to Hell is Chris Rea’s breakthrough album, turning his smoky voice and guitar-led writing into a major commercial statement. Released in 1989, it brought together blues rock, soft rock and pop sensibility with a sharper social edge, especially on the two-part title song and the resigned travelogue of Daytona. The record helped push Rea to a wider audience in the UK and beyond, where its detailed lyrics and road-movie mood resonated strongly. Built on understated production and melodic craft, it remains one of his most recognisable and best-regarded albums.
