Paul Carrack has had a very strange music career. He sings lead vocals on many famous hits, but he's only had one sizable hit in the U.S., "Don't Shed a Tear" in 1987, and none in Britain. Yet he's the lead vocalist on "How Long" by Ace, "Tempted" and "Loving You Tonight" by Squeeze, and a bunch of Mike and the Mechanics hits, including "Silent Running," "Over My Shoulder," and "The Living Years." I think he'd be much more famous if his name had prominently featured on all those hits.
Carrack has often been recruited as a band member or session player mostly because of his excellent, soulful voice, not to mention his keyboard playing and songwriting skills. One gets to see all that one display here. It's a relatively short (and unreleased) concert, at less than an hour. But it features some of the hits mentioned above by Ace, Squeeze, and Mike and the Mechanics, although oddly, not his big solo hit, "Don't Shed a Tear." Perhaps that's because this concert took place in Britain, and while that was a Top Ten hit in the U.S., it only reached Number Sixty in the British singles chart.
This album is 54 minutes long.
