"The Road to Hell" is a 1989 album by Chris Rea, and is one of Rea's most famous albums. The second part of the two part title track, "The Road to Hell (Pt. 2)," is also one of Rea's most famous songs. One track, "Texas," has been played through the years on Classic Rock/AOR radio stations in the Lone Star State, and is sometimes played as background music before Texas Rangers baseball games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Another track, "Daytona", is about the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 "Daytona", in which he sings about the car metaphorically, with the engine and tyre noise from the car ringing out toward the end of the song.
