Musically Paul Carrack is the best thing to come out of the UK since John Lennon. Wow – some statement but fully justified. This unlikely looking pop star, a quiet, modest and unassuming guy is a brilliant musician revered by his peers as a solo and session artist. He writes great songs with superb melodies, plays all sorts of instruments, keyboards being his main one, and oh yes has just about the most soulful voice you’ll ever here, period.
Paul has the wonderful knack of slightly changing arrangements to his studio songs to make them sound better live – something few can achieve. “Who is Paul Carrack?” people have asked me in the past and I replied “just go and see him Live” They did and now they know.
Video 1 - No doubt about it – is a classic case of the live version being better than the original studio recording.
Video 2 – My Kind – written for his daughter is pure emotion. A beautiful song in all respects with a superb guitar solo.
