Paul Carrack is one of the all-time great songwriters with one of the best set of pipes in music today. This album further proves his talent with ten songs which run the gamut from haunting to absolutely toe-tapping. It's unfortunate that most of his very best albums (specifically "One Good Reason" and "Groove Approved") are no longer in print, but this one is a true gem and one that shouldn't be missed.
Thought this CD was incredible! Paul Carrack has been a favorite of mine for years and this album reinforces my love for his music.
Love the Cd. Someone shared a Paul Carrack song on FB. I loved it. I went to iTunes and they had a very limited selection of his music. So glad I purchased this CD.
"Beautiful World" is a big departure from Carrack's work in the 80's. The new sound/style is feel-good pop/blues music. Now don't jump to conclusions and think you won't like this, it's really good! Even if you're not a big fan of blue-eyed soul music, you'll find it's worth the listen. C'mon, you're a Carrack fan, right? I bought it and now I have a better appreciation for this genre. If you enjoy Carrack's vocals and want to take a break from the hectic craziness of all the music that's out there right now, this album will do it. An album you can listen after a long day at the office or when you just want to sit around and relax during the afternoon.
Favorites: The Way I'm Feeling Tonight, You Give Me Something (My favorite!!), Satisfied, Close to Me, It Goes Without Saying, and Some Kinda Love.
I also recommend "Blue Views," all of Carrack's works from the 80's, and give Michael McDonald a listen! You won't be disappointed!
