Review

Entertainment Weekly (9/20/96, p.83) - "...Richman returns to the big leagues...with this typically friendly collection. SURRENDER offers a decent representation of Richman's considerable charms but largely lacks the effervescence of his best work..." - Rating: B
Q (11/96, p.132) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...a strong return to form for the adenoidal one, the usual breezy pop melodies propped up by a fruitily belligerent horn section and a succession of Gallic-flavoured accordion flourishes..."

Title Note

Personnel: Jonathan Richman (vocals, guitar); Frank Morroco (accordion); Ned Claflin, Andy Paley (piano); Dan Eisenberg (organ); John Girton, Nick Augustine (bass instrument); Tommy Larkins (drums); The Vine Street Horns.

After nearly a decade of annual releases on Rounder, Jonathan Richman signed with Neil Young's Vapor label. SURRENDER TO JONATHAN is Richman's first album for Vapor and he smartly uses the opportunity for a broader audience to lure new listeners into his quirky, endearing world. Producer Andy Paley, who worked with Richman decades earlier in Boston, clearly knows the right approach and a casual atmospheric ease underscores the natural believability of the songs.

Horns and accordion appear on a few songs. Whether the result of a larger recording budget or not, they fit nicely and answer the question, "What would horns on a Jonathan Richman album sound like?" Three older songs are revisited, "Egyptian Reggae," "To Hide A Little Thought" and "I Was Dancing In the Lesbian Bar."
