{"product_id":"beckley-gerry-carousel-lp-5209100647","title":"Gerry Beckley - Carousel [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 2016 solo album from the singer\/songwriter best known for his work with the Grammy-winning band America. 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTokyo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNature's Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinutes Count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Let the Sun Catch You Crying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifeline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidows Weeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Way I'm Gonna Lose You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce a Distant Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Each and Everyone 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFly 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerious 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarousel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"4","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50556860039464,"sku":"85209100647","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3530382.jpg?v=1763981991","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/beckley-gerry-carousel-lp-5209100647","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
