An album of all new compositions also recorded in Ingo Rau’s Amps Factory Studio in Freiburg Germany. It features Nick Pentelow on saxophones, Ingo on upright bass, Vladi Kempf on drums, Steven Bailey on acoustic guitar, Butch Coulter on harmonica, and Daniela Dieterich on violin.

It’s amazing sometimes what a discrepancy there is between alleged fame and respect received: This Norfolk-born singer-songwriter had not been granted a hit so far. And yet, his career contains some impressive chapters: Countless stars made good use of the creativity and skill of this keyboard virtuoso, like Alex Korner, Eric Burdon, David Crosby, Ralph McTell and John Martyn. The songwriter, who lives in London, is also very active on his own. He has released a total of 14 albums and is no doubt well-remembered by the German public for his appearance in “Rockpalast”. His new release, “Undercover”, demonstrates the uniqueness of his graceful songs, a mixture of animated ballads, swingy piano tunes and timelessly beautiful songs that shuttle between soul, R&B and songwriter pop. “Undercover”, which features the support of excellent musicians, shows Millns in top form.

The pianist and singer, who makes London his home, has an impressive catalogue of successful albums on his scoreboard. For German listeners, however, Paul Millns is most probably best known for his appearance in the ARD Rockpalast television program. On “Calling The Clowns”, this piano virtuoso with a craggy voice, relaxed timbre and pictorial language, takes a look at life’s vicissitudes. And he invites the listener in his unobtrusive, congenial and sensitive way to join in the experience – because Paul Millns is one of the last storytellers, which is what allows him to open people's hearts. Thanks to the support of a poised band, Millns has produced a very personal album featuring emotional ballads, animated piano tunes and thrilling rhythm and blues. Above all, however, with his “Calling All Clowns”, Paul Millns is addressing all those who are secretly clowns at heart.

Recorded earlier this year in Ingo Rau’s Freiburg studio, it was produced by Paul and Ingo [who has done an outstanding job with the audio quality]. As well as being available here through the website in a few days, it is released by Rakete Records [www.rakete-medien.de], and of course at Paul’s concerts.

From the almost Nashville atmosphere of “Gone again” and ” A little Painkilling”, to the blues soaked “Distillery Street” and “Close Companion of the Blues”, via the jazzy “Love in the times of Hardship”, this is surely one of the most varied albums Paul has recorded.

All of the basic tracks were recorded live in just a few days, and this gives a very organic feel to the album, graced by wonderful contributions by Paul’s regular musicians, Ingo Rau -bass, Vladi Kempf – drums, Butch Coulter – guitar and harmonica.

Friends and guests include Nick Pentelow on saxophones and clarinet, Paul’s son Andreas on Hammond organ, Niels Kaiser on guitar, and Steve Bailey on violin. Heinz Rudolf Kunze and Tobias Kunzel also sing on the title track GONE AGAIN.

The album should delight Paul’s fans and reach out to a wider audience.
