What Does It Take Oh Me Oh My Created For A Man Sandman Bridge Over Troubled Water About The Record: Following up the success of Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head may have been the easiest thing B.J. Thomas ever had to do professionally. He now had the sound, the style, and the songwriters, all he had to do was offer some more of the same, and that?s precisely what 1970?s Everybody?s Out of Town offered. The LP had the same mix of new tunes from major pop songwriters covers of current popular tunes (Everybody?s Talkin?, Oh Me, Oh My, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Jr. Walker?s What Does It Take), and a host of pleasant MOR material. There are some subtle differences -- there?s a little bit of a heavier soul vibe here, and Bacharach/David?s shuffling neo-vaudeville tunes somewhat oddly build upon the old-timey vibe of Butch Cassidy -- but the chief allure of the album is its softness, how it can still seem smooth when Thomas is pouring whatever remnants of his soulful past into his phrasing. This may not have much grit, but it?s not meant to: it?s lush MOR, and in that regard it does its job well, if not without a whole lot of distinction. The singles from the album include Everybody's Out Of Town, which placed No. 3 on US Adult Contemporary, and I Just Can't Help Believing, which placed No. 1.
