I Just Call On You

Description

I Just Call On You is the sophomore album by the American singer, songwriter, and keyboardist David Meece, released on Myrrh Records in 1977, a division of Word. The album was recorded and mixed by Chris Christian and Brown Bannister at Gold Mine Studio in Brentwood, Tennessee; with Christian producing. Arranged by Archie P. “Buggs” Jordan. All tracks written by David Meece, except “It’s Gonna Be So Lovely” co-written with Chris Christian.

I Just Call On You doesn’t have quite the overwhelmingly mellow vibe of his debut, as David occasionally draws closer to pop-rock than easy listening on songs like «It’s Gonna Be So Lovely» (where you can actually hear some electric guitar). «Follow Me (I’ll Lead You Home)» has a nice playful banjo country air. Still a bunch of those soft orchestrated piano ballads, if that’s your bag. Members of Fireworks on backing vocals. Produced by Chris Christian. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
