It was released in 1989 and is Rea's most successful studio album. It topped the UK album charts for three weeks,[2][3] and was certified 6x Platinum by BPI until 2004.[4] The second part of the two-part title track, "The Road to Hell (Pt. 2)", is also one of Rea's most famous songs. SummaryRea recalls that he had a lot of trouble with the album due to the record company, and "recorded the next album – Auberge – before, as an agreement with Warner Brothers. So if Road To Hell didn’t work – and they said it won't – we would jump straight away to Auberge and forget about it. Of course, the beginning to "Road To Hell" is a gospel blues thing. Warner Brothers went, ‘This is going to be over in five minutes’. But I did stand me ground, and it went No.1".[5] The song "Texas" has been played through the years on Classic Rock/AOR radio stations in Texas, 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.[6] Also, the song "Tell Me There's a Heaven" was used in a 1991 public information film for the NSPCC. The album cover features art by the English commercial artist, Adrian Chesterman,[7] who was also responsible for creating cover art for, amongst others, Motörhead's 1979 Bomber album.
