About this album
Contrary to some belief, the song “
The song “Midnight Lullaby” borrows its opening line from the English nursery rhyme “Sing a Song of Sixpence”.
The album’s producer Jerry Yester described the recording process for Closing Time thus:
Tom’s real easy to work with, we had a real good relationship. I really wasn’t interested in telling him what to do. I just wanted to get the music out of him. That was the important thing. So, we talked about how he wanted to do it and I would make suggestions. There was a very good relationship between all of the band members. That album was absolutely the easiest one I’ve ever done in my life. It was done in, like, a week and a half … in the studio at Sunset Sound. One reason it was good, I think, was we couldn’t get the nighttime hours that I was looking for. We had to come in from ten to five every day. It took two days to get used to it, but once we did it was great. We were even awake when we got there, and it was like a job. Everybody was real alert and into it. We took our lunch breaks, came back and worked again. And we had the evening to do something with. It was like being human, you know?
