Search - Mike & Mechanics :: Beggar on a Beach of Gold

Mike Rutherford and cohorts have had their ups and downs commercially, but the quality of their output has never wavered. Paul Young (the one from Safe Cafe, as must always be pointed out) and Paul Carrack are outstanding vocalists, and the top-drawer musicians click seamlessly as usual. "Looking Back Over My Shoulder" and "Another Cup of Coffee" are fine tracks, but it's too bad the project as a whole is tarnished by the lame Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder covers. --Jeff Bateman
