Chris Rea - Sail Away

Sail away from 2000 album “King Of The Beach“ A sequel of sorts to his earlier On the Beach, King of the Beach continues the laid-back mood of the earlier album but is a more mature and unified work. It’s one of his best albums and is a return to form after the film soundtrack La Passione and the more electronic sounds of The Road to Hell Part 2. Written primarily during a vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands, it’s replete with lots of beach and summer imagery in the titles (“King of the Beach,“ “All Summer Long,“ “Sandwriting,“ “Sail Away“) as well as the lyrics, which were originally written as poems.
