Review by René Arns

Up Close, the latest album from Eddie Money, is a testament to the rocker's staying power. The album features a mix of new songs and reimagined versions of some of his biggest hits, all delivered with the same energy and charisma that have made him a fan favorite for decades.

The album kicks off with "Brand New Day," a catchy and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Money takes listeners on a journey through his career, revisiting classics like "Take Me Home Tonight" and "Two Tickets to Paradise" with fresh arrangements that breathe new life into the songs.

But it's not all about nostalgia on Up Close. Money also delivers some standout new tracks, like the bluesy "No Control" and the soulful "One More Soldier Coming Home." These songs show that Money still has plenty of creative energy left, and that he's not content to rest on his laurels.

Summary by René Arns

Up Close is a strong album that showcases Eddie Money's enduring appeal. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his music, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.
