One of the hardest working figures in modern music, Paul Carrack releases his 15 solo album on October 25 . 'A Different Hat' sees Paul reunite with producer,
friend and former Van Morrison drummer Peter van Hooke to record with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Inspired by his recent work with big bands, Carrack had been considering the challenge of making an orchestral record, yet retaining the intimacy and warmth he is noted
for -- "I want to draw the listener in." The album was recorded at North London's Air Studios and at the famous Abbey Road. Van Hooke brought in his
friend and noted orchestral arranger David Cullen to arrange the parts for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
With Carrack doing live vocal takes, 'A Different Hat' was put
together in four three-hour sessions.
I must go & get this album, I was dissapointed with my last purchase how he did eyes of blue (reggae) , I hope he's done this song with THIS hat on?
