It’s 2011 and I’m very much having a Paul Carrack year! Having seen him in concert three times now I’m still slowly working my way through his back catalogue. Mike & The Mechanics, Squeeze, Ace and songs written for The Eagles, BB King etc - this talented British singer still (probably) doesn’t gain the credit he deserves. This album from 1997 captures Paul at his very best and on the opening four tracks I’d go a far as to say at his very, very best. Opening with “The Way I'm Feeling Tonight” you’re instantly put into somewhat familiar territory with a well-played, well-written piece of music which perfectly highlights Paul’s familiar vocal style. “Time To Let Go” follows and is just another perfect song for showcasing everything that is good about the Paul Carrack “sound”. The album’s title track “Beautiful World” kicks in next and the superlatives I could throw at this track would just leave me exhausted! Music just doesn’t get much better than this for me; I love the Hammond Organ sound during the mid-section and the quartet of backing vocals throughout just give this that “big” sound which comes across perfectly at any of Paul’s live shows. “Perfect Love” is as big as ballad’s get and again showcases Paul’s great voice! I can’t really fault the remainder of the album, but none of the tracks (for me) hit the heights of the opening four. That’s not to say they’re not very good; collectively this is one of Paul’s stronger albums. Recocommended? You betcha!Read full review
Its always a hoot to bid, sometimes the bidding is the most fun. Paul Carrick, warm sound easy to listen to, once its delivered your realise the bidding was only the start. Catch also "groovin'", standards, you'll know the words, journey's over and you have to sit in the car and finish the track ..
