BACK TO THE CENTRE is a 1985 album by Irish singer/songwriter Paul Brady, his fourth solo album. Eric Clapton was a guest guitarist. Paul Brady's best album, with Eric Clapton on guitar and Loudon Wainright III on backup vocals! What's not to love? I am going to have to be a little biased on the rating of this one, it has for me, a lot of sentimental value attached to it. Paul Brady has always been an underrated artist, but he has a strong cult following, especially so in his native Ireland. BACK TO THE CENTRE could be regarded as a classic, but the eighties-style production somewhat lets it down (you know the sound, all heavy drums and synths). Having said that, this is a fine album with great lyrics and strong melodies highlighted by the gorgeous cover of the traditional Irish tune "The Homes Of Donegal". Brady is without doubt a great singer-songwriter and really should have aimed higher for the new Van Morrison tag as was so frequently mentioned early on in his career.

Paul Brady returned in 1985 with his fourth album BACK TO THE CENTRE. It was produced by Ian Maidman and featured some familiar faces, including Eric Clapton, Loudon Wainwright and Larry Mullen of U2. They accompanied Paul Brady who had written eight new songs and covered The Homes Of Donegal on BACK TO THE CENTRE. The Paul Brady compositions saw the Irish troubadour continue his journey towards a more mainstream rock sound. That was apart from The Homes Of Donegal where Paul Brady enjoyed a brief dalliance with folk. The result was another accomplished album which found favour with critics. Especially songs like Walk The White Line, Deep In Your Heart, Soulbeat and The Island which were among the highlights of BACK TO THE CENTRE. Despite the quality of BACK TO THE CENTRE and his previous solo albums, Paul Brady was still one of music’s best kept secrets. That was until November 1985, when one of music’s biggest gave Paul Brady a helping hand. In November 1985, Bob Dylan released his box set Biograph, and in the liner notes mentioned his admiration for Paul Brady’s music. This resulted in some of Bob Dylan’s fans investigating Paul Brady’s back-catalogue and his fan-base increasing.
