Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the gritty British pub rock scene, Ace delivered a remarkably polished, blue-eyed soul debut. The album is forever immortalized by Paul Carrack's smooth, classic hit 'How Long', which perfectly bridges the gap between London's pub circuit and laid-back yacht rock.
