One Step Closer (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 613124) Private I/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1984 — Condition: New Copy
An 80s effort from The Dells – who may be one step further away from the benchmark 70s era – but they're still sounding plenty darn sweet on One Step Closer! The album has top-shelf production from the team of Marvin Yancy and Chuck Jackson, who also handled a good deal of the arrangements on the set. There's a strength here that's undeniable – a way of putting over a tune that has The Dells really building on all their years together, and not giving into any sort of commercial tricks or gimmicks to change with the times. And even though some of the instrumentation is a bit more contemporary, the vocals are still totally great – very old school in their approach to a tune, and crafted with a real love for a classic-styled harmony! Titles include "One Step Closer", "Love On", "You Just Can't Walk Away", "Holdin On", "I Am Your Man", "Jody", "Don't Want Nobody", and "Come On Back To Me". 3 bonus tracks on this CD edition: "You Just Can't Walk Away (US Single Edit)", "One Step Closer (US Single Edit)" and "One Step Closer (US Remix Club Version)". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
