Description:

Flying High, Paul Collins’ 11th album since the Beat, marks an end to a nearly 12-year musical quest and the start of a creative period that will without question generate several more releases. Flying High is a return to the basics for Collins. The album successfully fuses his undeniable song writing talents with his unparalleled musicianship, and the 12 songs showcase Paul Collins band’s undeniable skill and musical versatility. In fact, the bulk of the album was recorded live with many songs largely completed in the first take. Flying High is a mix of up-tempo guitar-driven Collins instant classics such as "More Than Yesterday” and "Helen” and more introspective darker tracks such as "Bobby,” "I’m On Fire” and "Flying High.” One of the many highlights is a track entitled, "Rock ’n’ Roll Shoes,” which Paul describes as "the daughter”” of the Beat’s classic anthem "Rock ’n’ Roll Girl.”
