本アルバムはポール・キャラックが1987年にリリースした、(ソロの)3rdスタジオ・アルバムである。ピアノ奏者でシンガー(ソング・ライター)でもあるポールは、その巧みな歌唱力とリズム・センスで、R&B・ソウル、ブルース・バラード・テイストのナンバーに魅力がある。本アルバムも全体としてはR&B・ソウル・ポップ(ロック)テイストで纏めている。タイトル・ナンバーの「One Good Reason」、シングル・カットされた「Don't Shed a Tear」など、本アルバムのコンセプトであるR&B・ポップな代表ナンバーである。またソウルフルな「Button Off My Shirt」、バラード・テイストの「Give Me a Chance」、「(Do I Figure) In Your Life」も変化のある構成と言える。中でも注目ナンバーの「When You Walk in the Room」は、アメリカン・シンガー(ソング・ライター)のジャッキー・デシャノンが63年にシングル・リリースし、翌64年のアルバム『
ブレイキング・イット・アップ・オン・ザ・ビートルズ・ツアー !
』(原題『Breakin' It Up on The Beatles Tour !』)でフィーチャーしたもので、その後多くの著名アーティストにカバーされており、ジャッキーはバラード・ポップ・テイストで仕上げている。本アルバムでのポール・キャラックは8ビートのソフト・ロック・テイストにアレンジしているが、カーラ・ボノフは79年の2ndアルバム『
ささやく夜 (Restless Nights)
』でカバーし、歌唱力は劣るがポール・キャラック・バージョン以上にロック・スタイルが強く面白い仕上がりである。

このアルバムは、ポールキャラックがメジャーヒットを飛ばしたアルバムで力強く熱唱しています。ヒューイ・ルイスが彼のテープを聴いて、クリサリスレコードでレコーディングするように契約を勧めたらしい。8はヒューイも曲を提供している。話題性では、スクイーズのクリスと書いた1、ニック・ロウと書いた5、大ヒットした6と目白押し。6はカラオケでも歌うことができるヨン!ダムじゃなかったけ…!? キャラック自身も気さくな人で、2004年のロンドンでサインとツーショットしてもらい、大感激でした。
みんな、聴いてみてね。平成生まれだろうが、40〜50歳でも、80年代大好きな30代でもよかよ。ききんしゃい。

1986年冬に大ヒットしたマイクアンドメカニクスの「サイレントランニング」のボーカルで注目されたポールキャラックのソロ,メカニクスのプロデューサーを起用し,メカニクスでファンになった購買層の期待を裏切らない作品で,「ファイア」や「コールマイン」はメカニクスの新曲だと嘘をつかれたら信じてしまう程メカニクスに似ている。キラーカットで大ヒットした6曲目はダリルホールの「ドリームタイム」のライターを起用していて,87年冬のヒット曲といえばこの曲が真っ先に頭に浮かぶほど良く売れた。老若男女に愛される名曲の2曲目やヒューイルイスが提供した「ヒアアイアム」もポールに似合う佳曲だと思う。本作が売れなかったら引退も考えていたというポールのソロ活動は本作で開花し,90年代はメカニクスやスクイーズとも活動しながら現在に至っている。

10 Tracks on Cd & I skipped 4 songs. Quality of recording not as good as other PC Cd's. PC voice drowned by the band.

Much more than just one good reason

...to pick up this CD! Recently I was at a book and music shop in Louisville and they were clearing out their cassettes. That was where I got my copy of One Good Reason, which I actually got for my gf because she likes Don't Shed a Tear. After a listen or two however, I stole the tape back from her, and I've listened to it everyday since. This album is nothing short of brilliant. I'm not even a fan of mainstream pop, but this album is so incredibly good, it's irresistable.
1. One Good Reason - The title track. Has an amazing groove. The song is dark, but somehow uplifting. I think he uses some kind of tympani, or at least a synthesized tympani to get that sound on the main riff.
2. When You Walk In the Room - This is actually a remake, I read off of the Carrack website, and it is the only song Paul plays off this album in concert currently, which is a shame. I don't know who the female singer on this song is, but boy is she strong. The harmonies are brilliant here. This song has an amazing key change that makes for a very nice build up just before the finish.
3. Button off My Shirt - A nice, mid-tempo bubblegum chewer, but don't mistake it, Paul sings in full soulfulness in that range only he can hit.
4. Give me a Chance - Tearjerker. Slow with keys. One of the most amazing ballads I've ever heard.
5. Double It Up - My personal favorite song on this album and one of my favorite songs ever. It reminds you of The Heat Is On by the tempo, and the riff is a bit like the Police's Demolition Man, but that doesn't ruin it for me at all. This song would be great in an action movie, maybe during the opening credits. The whole thing is an adrenaline rush. I've tried to sing it many times but it's way too high. On this number, Paul demonstrates an ability to drive the song, to be bluesy and soulful, and have power at the top of his range, all at the same time. The guitars are excellent in this song, as are the horns, but I suspect they are synthesized.
6. Don't Shed A Tear - It's a priveledge to say that this is one of the weaker songs on the album, but it's still a good song. No further comment needed here, this was a major hit in the US.
7. Fire With Fire - This is a great song. I thought, from a songwriter's perspective, that it was clever how they went into that bridge section just before the refrain. That really set it up nicely.
8. Here I Am - Kind of a fast shuffle beat number. This is one of those songs that you wish you knew the lyrics to so you could really try hard to hit those notes, even though you probably don't have a shot in hell. A very singable, danceable upbeat happy song.
9. Collrane - If I'm not mistaken, Collrane is a woman's first name. I've never heard it over here in the US, maybe it's popular over in Europe. This song is sort of dark, but has an epic feel - a tour de force for the band. If I'd written it, I would have included more tension and had more solos to try for a Stairway to Heaven effect, but as it is, which is somewhat short and sweet, the power and gravity of the emotions are fully there. The bass groove is really cool here, too. The echo on the drums was a nice touch. The whole thing screams of intrigue!
10. Figure in Your Life - If this song doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you have no soul. This is a question I think every man has asked a woman, in some way, at some time. This is where PC really shines: he has a knack for finding that little dark spot in your heart and putting it into the right song with the right lyrics.
I guess that about does it for my long-winded review. I can't speak highly enough about the album. It's too bad you can't get it on iTunes and there are no samples here. Maybe you can find CDs out there somewhere. Suburban Voodoo was on CD, this should be too, if it isn't.

Paul Carrack's "One Good Reason"
2008年6月24日に米国でレビュー済み Amazonで購入
"One Good Reason" is one of Paul Carrack's finest works to date. The obvious stand outs are the title track "One Good Reason" and "Don't Shed a Tear," both songs are upbeat pop and are a fun listen. If you like these songs, you'll enjoy the album. The entire album is masterpiece!
When You Walk in the Room: A slow upbeat pop song featuring a collaberation with a woman (I don't remember her name)who has some the most powerful vocals I've heard.
Button off My Shirt: Pop/Carribean-drumed/R&B song. One the best from the album. I read that this song was orginally written for Tina Turner but was then taken up by Carrack. (This song also made it on the charts, too!)
Double It Up: Another upbeat pop song, not the strongest of the bunch, but that's my opinion. You may beg to differ.
Fire With Fire: It's similar to "Double it Up," but I find it has a little more punch behind it.
Here I Am: Here's a feel-good song that will make your day. Good music and catchy chorus all with a "if you need someone, I'm here for you" message.
Collrane: A heavy, dark song with a mix of rock and synth. Probably one of the best songs on the album, I only wished this song gained more attention! And who would've known that "Collrane" is actually a real name?
Both ballads "Give me a Chance" and "(Do I Figure) in Your Life" are probably some of his best works. The songs demostrate Carrack's powerful vocals and deliever the lyrics with intention. They really touch your soul!
If you enjoy this album, I also recommend "Suburban Vodoo" and "Groove Approved."

Still fresh 30 years on...

I've always loved this record. I already knew "When You Walk In The Room" through radio saturation, but when I first heard "Button Off My Shirt" on Brisbane radio way back in 1987, the very next day I bought the LP, played it non-stop, and in the process grew to love every song. But "Button" is still my hands-down favourite, I just wish it was more than 3:41 long! Paul Carrack is an amazing musician with an amazing voice, even now. I have a few concert DVDs of him in guest appearances and he's still got that certain quiet class he so effortlessly delivers. A genuine nice guy by all appearances. Still fresh 30 years on...

Love this CD. I bought for 1 particular song, but as I listened to it, I like all of it! I very rarely purchase used products online, but I did with this cd. It is in perfect condition except for the plastic case. The hinge is broken. The seller could have easily put it in one that was not.
