about

Jon's first and heretofore scarcely available solo collection after Starland Vocal Band.

It includes the 7/4 rocker "Get Closer"--subsequently covered by Linda Ronstadt before being appropriated for 5 years by Close Up toothpaste (and currently featured in the Linda Ronstadt Biopic "The Sound Of My Voice), and "Walk Tall"--a funk study later recorded by Tom Jones. The ballad "Old Flame Blue" is here as well (the original studio version),a song also recorded by Jones on that same UK release "Carrying A Torch".

This was original released as a "publisher's demo" disc, but also includes two remarkable covers--the Motown classic "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" and Bob Dylan's "Sweetheart Like You".

released December 3, 2015

This collection was ushered and cultivated by the great Rick Witte (with invaluable assistance from Lois Thornburg) in Los Angeles before the project moved east to Bob Dawson and Bias Recording. Get Closer, What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted, and Sweetheart Like You had a rhythm section consisting of Vince Santoro, drums; JT Brown, bass; Pete Kennedy, elec gtr.

Jon performs most the duties on all other tracks, with backing vocals that include ex-wife and former SVB bandmate Margot Chapman Kunkel, a 9 year old Ben Carroll, Mike Cotter, JT Brown, Deeme Katson & Heather Davey.
