ReviewsEntertainment Weekly (8/26/94 - 9/2/94, p.112) - 9/2/94, p.112) - "...subdued country shuffles that stress groove over flash...laid-back, low-tech approach sounds like Mark Knopfler in the next room...his sleepy delivery is generally more quirky than compelling..." - Rating: B- Musician (11/94, pp.90-91) - "...Right now, in a smarter universe, CLOSER TO YOU has just gone platinum..."
Additional informationPersonnel: J.J. Cale (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Christine Lakeland (guitar, background vocals); Don Preston (guitar); Sid Page, Doug Atwell (violin); Marcy Dicterow-Vaj (viola); Nancy Stein (cello); Garth Hudson (accordion); Lee Allen (saxophone); Steve Madaio (trumpet); George Bohanon (trombone); Bill Payne (piano, organ); Spooner Oldham (organ); Larry Taylor (acoustic bass); Tim Drummond (bass); James Cruce, Jim Keltner (drums); Jim Karstein (drums, percussion); Leslie Taylor (background vocals). Engineers: Charlie Paakkari, J.J. Cale. Recorded at Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California. On the two albums that preceded CLOSER TO YOU, TRAVEL LOG and NUMBER 10, J.J. Cale adopted a more basic musical approach. This album continues the trend. Cale plays a few songs alone (though the overdubbed parts sound remarkably spare), including the title track. "Closer to You" finds him electronically treating his vocals, a technique that surprisingly makes him sound as down-to-earth as ever. The set ends with the hypnotically grooving instrumental "Steve's Song." The set is bolstered by two bass players (electric and acoustic), three percussionists (including Jim Keltner), three guitarists (including Cale), two keyboardists (Spooner Oldham and Bill Payne), and three horn players. With the dazzling CLOSER TO YOU, J.J. Cale finds ever-newer surprises in his own remarkable corner of the musical world.
