Close To You', from renowned guitarist/vocalist/songwriter JONATHAN BUTLER celebrating the music of Burt Bacharach! These well-loved songs find invigorated, unique interpretations that resonate as strongly as the originals. Polished to an easy, smooth shine Jonathan presents this collection to his International audience which has easily crossed musical genres.

“This record was inspired by my fiancé Nadira Kimberly. At home one night, we played and sang together as we listened to “Close To You” by the amazing Burt Bacharach. This really opened the door for me to do this amazing man’s music. In 1975 I was 13 years old when my first single was released, “Please Stay” by none other than Burt Bacharach. It's like I've come full circle.” (Jonathan Butler)

"Closing out the album, Butler offers a pared-down reading of “A House Is Not a Home,” highlighted by his distinctive vocal rubato and defined guitar rhythm methodology and complemented by the undertones of Dan Lutz’s upright bass. This no-frills approach is an efficacious showcase for Butler’s strengths, and perhaps might have worked more ideally in several of the less convincing moments of Close to You. All in all, despite a few production and structural weaknesses, Butler comes through with a satisfying collection of interpretations most worthy of his exploration." (Justin Kantor, soultracks.com)
