JD Souther

[sodascouts]

I think I've said elsewhere that my favorite track of Souther's is "Last in Love." Love the emotion in the vocal - plus, it's a beautiful melody.

I already gave him a fan letter saying just that. Guess I'm out of the running!

Just got an alert that the live album release date will be pushed back to the 20th. Looks like its distribution will be primarily digital.

First of all, JD's new CD, Rain, is available for download from Amazon and soon from I-tunes. I just got it and the version of New Kid is incredible! I love it.

Second, the ASCAP Awards were the 19th and Jackson Browne presented JD with the Golden Note Award.
Here's the CMT Coverage. There are some great pictures here as well.

Thought I'd post these shots of JD in October. I think they're awesome (and gorgeous.) I'm dying to see this man!

I just received an email that JD will be performing some East Coast shows during the month of January...a couple in CT, one on Long Island, one in Mass., and one in NJ!! If anyone is interested in seeing him on Friday Jan. 15 in Montclair, NJ, let me know...Stars? Dreamer? Anyone else "close?" The show starts at 8 pm. The venue is known at 'Outpost in the 'Burbs,' and it's a non-profit folk music community that utilizes 3 different sites (2 churches and the high school). They have JD booked in a church that holds 250 people, and the tix are $27.50 in advance and $33 at the door. I have no idea if a sell-out is likely...certainly possible in the town of Montclair...it's very artsy.

I'm excited to have learned about this folk music community center just now! The next weekend, they are featuring the Gin Blossoms, a group I really liked back in the late 80's/early 90's. I'm going to get myself on their email list...you never know who else might show up on their concert list in the future!

OH by all means go!! its well worth it.. if you get a chance to talk to him, give him my regards *G*

[eaglesvet]

Will do! Will he remember you by name? And wasn't it someone named Susan you were with? Or am I hallucinating about a different story you told?
