If this is not the very definition of an album that lives up to the worst stereotypes of the sensitive early-1970s singer/songwriter, it must be damned close. There were some major talents playing on the Nashville sessions for this LP, including keyboardist David Briggs and bassist Norbert Putnam (both top Muscle Shoals session guys), and top Nashville drummer Kenneth Buttrey. Polydor was certainly being patient with Holmes - it was his second album for the major label in two years, and his fourth overall since 1967. Given that decades later, it was still hard to find many people who'd ever heard of him, you'd have to suspect that at this point Polydor might have been using Holmes as a tax write off, or just fulfilling an ill-advised contract.

Jake Grier Holmes, Jr. (born December 28, 1939 in San Francisco, California) is an American folk-pop singer/songwriter and jingle writer who began a recording career in the 1960s. Holmes, who has a particular talent for writing clever, perceptive lyrics, is perhaps best known as the original author of the song "Dazed and Confused", later popularized by Led Zeppelin, and for composing the US Army recruitment jingle "Be All That You Can Be" in the late 1970s.

La página presenta la letra de la canción "So Close" del álbum So Close, So Very Far To Go de la banda Jake Holmes. Where’s that smile? I hope you didn’t lose it. Every now and again, And wear it once for me. Sure, I know, It’s been some time between us, But I had to stand out some, To get the room to see. But it’s all right now, Hold on tight now. I’ll be stayin', I won’t go. Don’t you cry now, We can try now. Just takes some distance to kno. o close, We almost couldn’t make it. So close, But it looks like we’re alright. So close, I almost couldn’t see.
