Editorial Reviews

Rock's most sure-handed journeyman, Paul Carrack is slowly working his way around to singing with every band in existence. And why not? He's had success with more than a few already, scoring hits with Ace ("How Long"), Squeeze ("Tempted"), Mike & the Mechanics ("Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground")), and as a duet partner with Carlene Carter ("Do Me Lover"). The Paul Carrack Collection combines those tracks (plus some others) with the cream of Carrack's solo work, including the hit "I Need You." Carrack is perhaps the most-heard, least-known vocalist in rock, though this set goes a long way toward righting that wrong. --Daniel Durchholz

5 out of 5 stars Great tribute to Paul Carrack's music career.......2006-06-26

I have to say that Paul Carrack has to be one of the best pop singers to do well in bands as well as solo. They do a good job compiling his best hits with Ace (How Long), Squeeze (Tempted), Mike and the Mechanics and his solo hits (Don't Shed A Tear). But my favorite solo song from Paul is One Good Reason from 1987 as that song rocks big time, from the horns to the guitars! Unfortunately, Don't Shed A Tear was played more during that time and One Good Reason got only some minor buzz. Reason seemed more comfortable to some with the low key rock guitar. But the other songs are good candidates to this effort. Paul just loves to perform and this collection justifies his major success as an artist for close to 3 decades.

5 out of 5 stars Nice collection for a good singer/composer.......2006-01-25

"Twenty-One Good Reasons" provides a good presentation to the music (and the voice) of Paul Carrack. Ace, Squeeze, Carlene Carter and even Mike & The Mechanics have received the benefits of working with such a good performer like Mr. Carrack. If you are seriously engaged with 70s Pop & Rock music, this CD is A MUST for you!

5 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorite cd's.......2005-10-29

This, by far, is one of my favorite cd's. Paul Carrack has one of the most fabulous voices around and I believe, is very underrated. This is an awesome cd and great to have on when cleaning--you can't help singing along to! :) Love the tracks with Carlene Carter! A must have for even the slightest fan. I was lucky enough to see him perform with Ringo Starr (in his All-Star Band)and his voice is still so smooooooth!!

5 out of 5 stars More than pleased!.......2004-11-10

This compilation of Paul Carrick is no less than wonderful! It's got all of his major songs, both solo and with groups. The sound is great and the songs are all really great. I'm very pleased with it! If you are a Paul Carrack fan and/or pop/rock fan, you need this in your collection! It's out-of-print, but worth looking for, I'm glad I did!

5 out of 5 stars Master of Quality Music.......2004-01-19

In a career thats spanned 3+ decades, Paul Carrack's voice has not wained from his bluesy smooth sound that is always refreshing. Many recognize the voice but not the name, even with that said though every band he's been with has had a hit with his lyricism and voice.
These days of bubble gum groups that put out mindless drum track songs are a blight on the music scene when you have such a renowned and fantastic artist such as Paul Carrack who gets little recognition.
The tracks on this CD are 100% excellence in music. From his beginnings in Ace, to his accompanyment with Carlene Carter, to his days with Mike and The Mechanics, it's a CD you can listen to 100 times and always enjoy listening to it again.
While the CD is now Out Of Print, I would reccomend it highly to anyone who enjoys quality music and even higher quality vocals.
This is a must have for anyones collection!!!
