Ronnie Scott’s London ****

The Guardian Saturday 11th April 2009

Sometimes generic can be exactly what you need – a generic cigarette, a generic white shirt, a generic kiss – and no one is currently producing generic blue – eyed soul music more satisfyingly than Paul Carrack, whose solo career has meandered enjoyably and with sporadic commercial success around his involvement with several hit-making bands.

The first of these was Ace, whose achingly gorgeous How Long illuminated the brief, mid-70s episode in which Pub rock prepared the way for punk. Instead of leaving this much loved song of betrayal to the encores or burying it in mid-set, Carrack wisely used it to open the first of his three nights in Soho, arousing immediate enthusiasm and establishing his ability to deliver a vintage song with freshness and energy.

An unassuming figure, he will always have the air of a keyboard player unexpectedly promoted to the role of lead singer. His funny little Chinese hat and rectangular sunglasses lend the 57-year-old Yorkshireman a visual distinctness. But it is his voice – ardent, yearning, neither smooth or rough – that invests integrity and purpose even into such epics of discontented AOR as Love Will Keep Us Alive, which he co-wrote for the Eagles, and Silent Running which he recorded with Mike and the Mechanics.

His tidy seven-piece band are capable of dropping at will into the requisite Willie Mitchell or Steely Dan grooves, of negotiating the slippery modulations of Squeeze’s Tempted with ease and of providing fluently idiomatic – a kinder word than generic – solos from the guitarist John Robinson, the trumpeter Ed Collins and the tenorist Steve Beighton. With their backing, Carrack delivered adamantly soulful readings of Battlefield, the new No Doubt About It and the irresistible Over My Shoulder, the last of which provoked the most vigorous of several audience singalongs.
