Closer is the third studio album from Colorado Roots-Rock artist A.J. Fullerton. The title "CLOSER" hints at the artistic pursuit of a goal with no visible finish line. Aspiration to the unachievable. Closer references relative measurement not of distance, but of self through over the course life's hardships and high points. Recorded in Denver, CO. At Color Red Studios. Produced by Eddie Roberts of The New Mastersounds. The album was recorded to magnetic tape on the label's Tascam 388 console. The all-original nine song album follows up Fullerton's 2021 Release "The Forgiver & The Runaway".CLOSER blends aspects of Blues, Americana, & Rock featuring slide guitar, harmonica, keys & prominent vocals. The album features members of A.J.'s touring band Forrest Raup (Drums), Alex Goldberg (Bass), Peter Sheridan (Keys), Daniel Thompson (Keys), Jake Friel (Harmonica), as well as special guest vocals by Lauren Frihauf and Loren Dorland.
