Description

Paul’s album Secret Operations (1989) is a soulful blend of blues and folk, praised for its introspective songwriting and warm instrumentation.
Secret Operations was released in 1989 on Slow Motion Records, and later reissued in 1992 by ARIS Records. It features 12 tracks, including “Man Overboard,” “Katya,” and the title track “Secret Operations.” The album was recorded in New York with musicians from Graham Parker’s band and additional sessions in Holland, featuring Danny Thompson on bass.
The album blends Paul’s signature piano and emotive vocals at the forefront. Tracks like “Dark-Eyed Girl From The Island” and “Desperate Heart” showcase his lyrical depth and melodic sensitivity. “Mean Times” reflect Paul’s social consciousness and poetic storytelling.
