Groove Approved
Album NotesPersonnel: Paul Carrack (vocals, keyboards, drums, programming); T-Bone Wolk (guitars, mandolin, accordion, keyboards); Jimmy Bralower (drum programming); Daryl Hall (background vocals).Producers: T-Bone Wolk, Paul Carrack, Eddie Schwartz.Recorded at The Hit Factory, New York, New York and Farmyard Studios, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, England between May and July, 1989.After pulling four singles off of 1987's One Good Reason, Paul Carrack looked to be on the verge of finally establishing himself as a solo star. Instead, he stumbled with the follow-up, Groove Approved, a solid, workman-like collection that featured only one Top 40 number in "I Live by the Groove." One suspects that this had less to do with the album's real commercial potential than with upheavals in the record company, which was being sold by its founders to EMI during this period. Yet, afterward, Carrack went back to working with Squeeze and Mike + the Mechanics, putting his solo career on hold. ~ William RuhlmannPortions of this page Copyright 1948 - 2012 Muze Inc.
