Chris Rea remained one of the best-kept secrets in the music industry, releasing five albums between 1979 and 1983, none of them reaching even the Top 50 in the charts. All were very well received by both the critics and the public who knew the secret. His secret was a brand of late-night rock that had an element of class, not dissimilar at this stage of his career to the early-'80s Dire Straits albums, but totally out of step, and proudly so, with the music of the time -- new romantic, power and synth pop. He opened the album Water Sign with the song "Nothing's Happening by the Sea," which was so far laid back it was almost horizontal, with a harmonica instrumental break, and the album closed with a nod to synth pop on the track "Out of the Darkness." "Love's Strange Ways" was a similarly slow-moving Dire Straits-style number with an acoustic guitar picking out some notes throughout the song. "Let It Loose" had a driving rock beat, as did "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat," the only single taken from Water Sign. The record company needn't have bothered, however, as the single peaked at a miserable number 65. By the time Rea got around to releasing a hits compilation, this track was radically remixed with a slick guitar added and less of the drum machine. One track, "Texas," was to become popular via radio play in the States but also as music played at Texas Rangers baseball games, and Rea would revisit and re-record this song for his most successful commercial album, The Road to Hell, at the end of the decade. One day soon, a lot more people would discover Chris Rea, but in the meantime, in the era of Water Sign he remained a relative mystery. ~ Sharon Mawer Chris Rea Water Sign Songs | 1. | Nothings Happening by The |

Water Sign album
$11.79
Success continued to elude Chris Rea on his third album, Tennis, on which he began to experiment with slightly longer songs and more free-form jamming, the songs "Every Time I See You Smile," "Stick It," and the title track all being over five minutes long. For Tennis, he enlisted the assistance of Raphael Ravenscroft on saxophone fresh from his crowning moment on the Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street" single and Pete Wingfield on keyboards, among many other musicians to contribute to this album, but Chris Rea himself stamped his personal mark on the album, writing all the songs, providing vocals, guitar, and keyboards, and he even dispensed with the need for an outside producer. Hence the Elton John feel of his Gus Dudgeon-produced previous album, Deltics was gone, aside from on the ballad "Every Time I See You Smile," and it was replaced by a variety of styles including the horn-driven "Forever and Ever," the gospel song "Stick It" ...

$12.65
With the success of the band Incantation and ethnic South American music in 1982-1983, Chris Rea introduced his sixth album, Wired to the Moon, with the track "Bombollini," which was over six minutes of jungle-sounding drums and the haunting sound of pan pipes. The ethnic flavor continued on the second track, "Touch d'Amour," which was reggae in the unashamed style of lovers rock. However, Rea wasn't going to disappoint his fans altogether, small in number though they were in the U.K., having built a career over several albums of soft rock tracks and midtempo ...

Water Sign album
$17.69
—“It happened first in England a couple years ago,” Peter Lang says. “This guy introduced me as a ‘great American bluesman,’ not a folk guitarist. I got similar intros in Russia and Mexico and Italy. When it happened in New York, I knew what I had to do.” What Lang did was record his new CD “Testament,” a resurrection of his early blues roots and his 12th and most distinctive album, A Grammy nominee and Minnesota native, Lang helped pioneer American finger-style guitar in the late 60s. After 20 years of being termed a “folk” artist, the guitar ace retired from touring to help raise his children. He resumed touring in 2002 on the east and west coasts and outside the U.S., this time singing the early blues that had inspired him to pick up a guitar as a child.“Louis Armstrong said all music is ‘folk’ because horses don’t sing,” Lang said. “They started calling me a bluesman ...

Water Sign CD music
$13.15
Seen by many as one of Barbados’ best male vocalists and performers, and cemented in history as one of its top models, Ronnie Morris has quickly risen up the entertainment ladder since becoming the youngest ever finalist in the Richard Stoute Teen Talent Contest at age 12. His trailblazing track record of victories in talent competitions both locally and internationally has secured his standing and earned him respect in his homeland. These victories include winning the St. Michael Song Contest, and a massive haul of seven National Independence Festival Of The Creative Arts Awards. He has also made it to the finals of the Party Monarch, Digicel Rising Stars, Barbados Song Contest, Over 21 and Junior Calypso Monarch (where he placed third in 1997) contests. In 2003 he claimed his biggest success in competition, as he made history by placing fifth out of fifty contestants from across the globe at the Mr. World contest, held in London, and seen by a television audience of over 800 million worldwide. Ronnie also got the opportunity to open the show with a rousing performance of Elton John’s Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me, after being announced as the winner of the award for Outstanding Talent. That single achievement was a crowning glory in his career as a model, confirming him, without a shadow of a doubt, as one of the most successful male models in his country's history, having previously won the Spirit Of The Nation Gala, the Roots Experience Contest and the Mr. Barbados- World contest. His careers as a singer and model have taken him to perform in Trinidad, Aruba (International Male Model Contest), Venezuela (World Youth Festival), New York, London, Lincoln (UK), Montserrat, St. Lucia and Guadeloupe, where he was a featured act at the Festival Of Song and Dance. His record sales (including solo projects and several compilations) have exceeded 25, 000 units sold to date, and he has landed four hits on the HOTT Top 20 Chart, Barbados’ most competitive annual airplay chart. His debut single Solitude spent several weeks on the Dance World Reggae Singles Chart, where it peaked at number 6, and was the 1 local reggae single for four weeks. Ronnie has also ...
