JD Souther

A few things; JD is playing near me next Saturday, I have a ticket, got it a few months back, mostly out of curiosity and a desire to see/hear as many artists live while I and they still can.  Second, I recently watched the DVD The Sound Of My Voice (Linda Ronstadt), and he was interviewed there.  Third, I dug out my two (more on the way) JD discs, and discovered how fantastic his 2011 recording, Natural History, is.  Sound is wonderful (he thanks Kyle Lehning for mixing the record he wanted to hear), songs are great, its so fantastic.  If you like that style of "southern california singer/songwriter" music.  I do.

Black Rose is my second JD disc, have three more on the way.  Agree, too, about silver blue.  I recall when I bought Black Rose the man who owns the shop was shocked, and told me then that it was his favorite disc of all time.  So there are those who appreciate the man and the music.

A good bassist I've been gigging with recently played me some JDS. I didn't get into him back in the day, caring for The Eagles not at all, Ronstadt a little, though Jackson Browne a lot. I was somewhat underwhelmed, but perhaps JD takes a few plays to reveal himself. His LP's are available used for real cheap,

bdp, I think we have some overlapping tastes; I too  dislike Eagles, adore Linda, and think JB is wonderful.  I think JD is worth the time/effort it takes to acclimate.
