Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a critical transition for the group, 'Close-Up' is the first studio album to feature John Stewart replacing founding member Dave Guard. The trio maintains their impeccably smooth, commercial folk sound, navigating the internal personnel shift without losing their massive grip on the mainstream pop audience.
