Their second album The Drum is Everything (produced by Mike Thorne) drew some praise. Parris and Darby conjured the effect of a full ensemble backing to McCourt's vocals, and alternated between soulful ballads, gospel, blues and jazz. The resulting singles "Bad Day" and "More, More, More" both went Top 25 in the UK Singles Chart. 1992's Good News saw Carmel moving to East West Records with Parris producing. That album was followed by 1995's World's Gone Crazy with producers including Carmel McCourt, Jim Parris, Gerry Darby, Julian Mandelsohn and Mike Thorne.

The Drum Is Everything (1984). is a cover of. The Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles (1965). was sampled in. Strolling by Atban Klann (1992). Wrong Pot 2 Piss In by The Goats (1992). The Drum Is Everything. The Clapping Song by Shirley Ellis (1965).

Many would say Carmel helped kick start the groovy fun with their throw-back hipster bop and swing style. This collect deserves to be on anyone's top 10 list of the best long players to come out of England in the 80's. Carmel were a brilliant little band as a three piece who were never overpowered by expanded big band arrangements. Carmel McCourt's voice was clearly their biggest asset but as a voice/rhythm section. 01. More, More, More (06:25) 02. Stormy Weather (03:42) 03. The Drum Is Everything (01:59) 04. I Thought I Was Going Mad (01:46) 05. The Prayer (06:42) 06.
