Love Returns

Description

Long-time keyboardist and vocalist with Mary Chapin Carpenter's band, and one of the original members of Starland Vocal Band, Grammy-award winning songwriter-performer Jon Carroll has produced a collection of new tracks that are moving and meaningful and meant to make you move. Jon is a hit-writer with songs covered by the likes of Linda Ronstadt and Tom Jones, and you'll certainly hear why here. From the opening rocker, "Love Time" to the plaintive and poignant "Land That Time Forgot", Carroll takes you on a journey with stop-overs in old-school uptown clubs, rural and chatty front porches and the brass-driven back rooms of New Orleans. With a broad musical vocabulary, this multi-instrumentalist holds forth with a debut work that has a hot soul and lots to say. About the Artist In 1975, an 18-year old Jon Carroll recorded a song woth 3 others that went on to become the biggest hit of the Summer of '76. Afternoon Delight was the 1 Pop hit in the US on July 4, 1976, and was one of the biggest hits of that Summer. The group, Starland Vocal Band, went on to be nominated for 5 Grammy Awards, garnering 2 --one for Best New Artist and one for Best Arrangement for Voices, which was Jon's handywork. The group recorded 4 more albums before disbanding in the early 80's. Since then, the native Washingtonian has stayed extremely busy both within the D.C. area as well as nationally, recording and performing with renowned acts, and writing hits recorded by premier singers such as Linda Ronstadt, Tom Jones and Kenny Rogers. He has toured extensively and internationally with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rodney Crowell, Dixie Chicks and others, and is always an energetic and dynamic element to see and hear during live shows. He has penned several stage musicals and sountracks and, as a sought-after performer, arranger and producer, Jon has never stepped outside, or in front of, what was appropriate for the song and the singer for whom he was supporting. Jon has been recognized by the Washington Area Music Association with 4 Wammie Awards for Best Rock/Pop Male Vocalist, 2 Wammies for Best Rock/Pop Instrumentalist and a Wammie for Songwriter of the Year, for his song, Get Closer, recorded by Linda Ronstadt. Starland Vocal Band is also in the Washington Area Music Association Hall of Fame.
