Recorded at his Los Angeles studio Human Nature, the shimmering 12-track album plays to all of Beckley's strengths; the singer, songwriter and musician played most instruments on the album. \"With a solo project I'm really a committee of one,\" says Beckley. \"There's only myself to please. Having said that, it's not always easy. Each project is a snapshot in time. The material on Carousel came from a wide scope of inspiration.\" Carousel contains original standouts such as the deeply personal \"Lifeline\", \"No Way I'm Gonna Lose You\" (co-written with Dan Wilson who won an award for his work with Adele) and \"Tokyo\", of which Beckley says: \"The song actually came to me while I was waiting to board a flight home from Japan. I seem to remember I lost track of time and almost missed the flight.\" There are also three covers on which Beckley puts his distinctive spin: Spirit's \"Nature's Way\", Gerry Rafferty's \"To Each and Everyone\" and Gerry and The Pacemakers' \"Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying\". \"I've fortunately never been short on inspiration for my original material but I do love to record a cover every so often,\" says Beckley. \"These three are of course from my long list of fave songs.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Tokyo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Nature's Way \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Minutes Count \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Lifeline \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Widows Weeds \u003cbr\u003e1.7 No Way I'm Gonna Lose You \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Once a Distant Heart \u003cbr\u003e1.9 To Each and Everyone \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Fly \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Serious \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Carousel\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gerry Beckley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32442829013063,"sku":"31261357","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3422032.jpg?v=1747404530","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/gerry-beckley-carousel-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
