PAUL CARRACK – GOOD FEELING (2012)

What’s a review of an album by Paul Carrack doing in THE number one blues and soul magazine? Simple; it’s all about the music. The world’s oldest black music magazine prides itself on having broad tastes and knowing our readers do too.

And as Mr Carrack is actually a soul singer, he belongs here in the same way James Morrison did too.

Paul may be better known for his commercial exploits as a voice for hire on Mike and The Mechanics “The Living Years,”and “Over My Shoulder,” fronting Squeeze on their classic “Tempted,” and penning/singing the Ace winner “How Long,” but on his solo stuff and his concerts, this Sheffield boy keeps it real and mega soulful in heaps.

Having written big songs for others including The Eagles, he has collaborated with BB King, Elton John, Ringo, Roxy Music, Roger Waters and many more. He keeps good company and has earned respect from his contemporaries as a sublime vocalist, a multi-instrumentalist and as a cracking songwriter.

BBC4 will devote a documentary to him and his career on October 12th. His latest offering is “Good Feeling,” a dozen blue-eyed soul tracks, on a CD that’d sit snugly into any discerning collection next to Al Green, Marvin, Otis, Wilson, Percy and anyone else of that genre you care to mention. It shares its core values with all the iconic Stax, Atlantic, Motown and more obscure soul labels: Honesty and passion.

This is no conscious hunt purely for commercial success. This is a guy who HAS to sing and HAS to stay true to his influences. I have seen Paul live once, when he supported Supertramp a few years ago. My old mate Jeremy plays bass for him, but I was surprised at just how soulful his voice was and how American his music sounds, to be honest. His own singles have a permanent reservation on the playlist at Radio 2. They love him. His theatre tours sell out year in, year out - guaranteed box office. Being honest, I’ve always found him a bit safe and middle of the road though, but have always appreciated his talent at the same time.
