5.0 out of 5 stars Melancholy, Nostalgia and Lost Love, March 29, 2002
Whether or not you are a romantic person, this album will return you to the places and memories your heart just won't allow you to forget.

Rea's voice is mesmerizing and his guitar playing is, surprisingly, very good. He has crafted some beautiful love songs on this mellow record and it is one of the few CD's I always take with me on road trips and vacations.

"Heaven" is a bittersweet masterpiece that describes the simple joy and escapism of driving: "... the paradise of going somewhere that's still so far away ..." The guitar work alone on this song is worth the price of admission.

"At The Mention Of Your Name" will put a lump in your throat for that special relationship that slipped away - and from which you never completely recovered. Rea does a superb job of capturing those awkward moments of reflection - from having those memories inadvertently triggered by a well-meaning friend, to the "sunny days and drunken nights" of trying to erase them.

I have been surprised over the years at how many people have this lone Rea album in their collections. It's a wild card for sure. Not many folks know about Chris Rea, and he certainly never had much success in the States, but he's good. Real good.

If you are not familiar with Chris Rea, add Auberge to your collection. It really is a must have.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars From an Aggie Sikh Chris Rea Fan, March 7, 2000
By A Customer
I was introduced to the music of Chris Rea by my dear friend Jeebu (Hi Jeebu, remember YCCE) in 1992. Since then I have listened to virtually all that Chris Rea has to offer. However, Auberge remains the first and the best album of his that I ever owned. The music is very basic. Guitars, drums, and an incredible voice (I feel that his voice starts from inside his boots). I would especially recommend you listen to this album after a hard days work. Helps me unwind. Happy listening. Cheers.....

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, June 15, 2000
By Ed Wilberding (Hooper, NE, USA) - See all my reviews
The Road to Hell was a critical success, but Auberge may be even better. Red Shoes, Sing a Song of Love To Me, and The Mention of Your Name are among his best. Chris Rea continues to redefine himself. As is the case with most artists, he misses occasionally, but overall he is someone who the American listening public is missing out on because of a lack of U.S. promotion.

Auberge perfectly embodies the spirit of Chris Rea: the deep, gruff voice, the backwater blues guitar fusing with trumpet and strings and, of course, those lyrics. Read more
