    Auberge (a French word meaning "inn") is the eleventh studio album by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 1991. The album, as well as the title song, is notable for its association with the Caterham Super Seven that Rea owned, which he called the "Blue Seven". The car appears on the album cover, illustrated in oil by motoring artist Alan Fearnley.[5] The album makes several references to the car over several tracks, as well on the video of the title song,[6] and its cover illustration was used for its adverts. In 2005, Rea sold the car in an auction.[7]

    Singles[edit]

    The title track gave Rea one of his biggest hits in the UK Singles Chart, where it reached number 16.[8] Other tracks released as singles were "Heaven", "Looking for the Summer" and "Winter Song".

    Commercial performance[edit]

    Auberge reached number one in the UK Albums Chart and number one in the German Albums Chart in 1991.[8] Q Magazine described the album as 'more of the same, with a few subtle differences to keep both doubters and aficionados guessing'.[4]
