Chris Rea T-shirt

Can anyone explain to me why Chris Rea is so lightly regarded by the world? The man is a truly brilliant blues guitarist that should be heralded as a iconic living legend. On the plus side, while the public just seem to know about Road To Hell and an obsession with vintage Ferraris, those that know their white boy blues can enjoy that unique voice and exquisite slide work in peace. So grab a Chris Rea T-shirt and watch as everyone else in the pub looks on bemused.
