And although Pell has been delighting his fans with this significant mix for well over 35 (!) years, his albums always contain albums are always full of ingenious surprises or remarkable collaborations. On his latest studio album "Ghost Town", one thing is certain: Axel Rudi Pell adds another eleven songs to the long list of great songs from his career.
