On the Beach

by Chris Rea

On the Beach cover art

Bolstered by its widely successful title track, Chris Rea perfectly encapsulates an incredibly smooth, synthesizer-tinged brand of adult contemporary rock. The record relies on his distinctively gravelly baritone, fluid slide guitar, and a heavily synthesized, sun-drenched production to evoke deeply soothing, tropical beachside imagery.
