Remember how good, how warm, love -rock used to sound? Well, chum, it still does, as you'll discover on listening to Carpenters' new album, CLOSE TO YOU. As you know from pleasant experience with the title track, love -rock still sells pretty good, too. Which means that not only the lovers will want to stock up on the CLOSE TO YOU album and a new single taken, therefrom, "We've Only Just Begun," which figures to follow "Close To You" to the top of the charts and into the hearts of listeners everywhere.
