Rest in Peace... So extremely sad to hear , I’m heartbroken . I was privileged to see him live in a little bar , very intimate venue , only a 100 or so people in Chicago’s Wrigleville area a while back, was seated in the front row on a folding chair in 2008 , and was able to meet / talk with him afterwards, and he personally signed his double album at the time , If the World was you , truly was one of the amazing talented , singer, songwriters of our time . He was Elected into the singer songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013 , and performed live on stage with the EAGLES this past January on their Long Goodbye tour He released his biggest solo album , Your Only Lonely back in 1979 and it was A #1 Adult Contemporary hit for 5 weeks, Souther told interviewers that Roy Orbison, who had a hit with "Only The Lonely," was a big influence on this song. Said Souther: "I was a little kid when I first heard Roy Orbison, but he was magic. He's the guy that you turned out the lights and listened to his records by yourself - or with a girl - because he was just completely other-worldly. He had sarcastic and adventurous songs and great arrangements, and then that beautiful, almost operatic voice. Beautiful, natural deep echo on it. He is one of half a dozen or so rockabilly musicians that I really loved. When I was in junior high school was the first time I really started listening to that. But then I started playing drums all the time, and I got so fascinated with jazz, I didn't really think much about singing or making rock and roll records for quite a few years. The first song I ever heard called 'Only the Lonely' was this song that Frank Sinatra sang. It's a Johnny Mercer song; it's on a Sinatra album called Songs for Only the Lonely. There are a lot of songs with that name. But the beat that I used for 'You're Only Lonely' is that rockabilly beat. That sort of break in it was taken from another Roy Orbison record called 'I'm Hurtin'' that I really love." He later performed with Roy Orbison's , On a Black and White Night live the backing band was the TCB Band, which accompanied Elvis Presley from 1969 until his death in 1977: Glen Hardin on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums. Others involved were Male background vocalists, some of whom also joined in on guitar and keyboards, included Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, Steven Soles, and of course JD Souther. The female background vocalists were k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt. He was also a principal architect of the Southern California sound and a major influence on a generation of songwriters, JD Souther has either written or co-written some of the Eagles’ biggest hits, including “Heartache Tonight,” “Victim of Love,” “New Kid in Town,” and “Best of My Love,” Don Henley's super hit "The Heart of the Matter," and the Eagles’ single from 2007, “How Long.” He has also written ten songs recorded by Linda Ronstadt, including classics “Faithless Love,” “Simple Man, Simple Dream,” and “Prisoner in Disguise.” He has collaborated with other world-renowned musicians, including his duet “Her Town Too” with James Taylor, and has worked with numerous other artists and writers, including Bonnie Raitt, Warren Zevon, Paul Williams, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Hugh Masekela, Burt Bacharach, Dixie Chicks, Raul Malo, India Arie, Roy Orbison, Arthur Hamilton, George Strait, Brian Wilson, Bob Dipiero, Bernadette Peters, and Trisha Yearwood. Souther released successful solo albums praised by publications like Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, Jazz Times, and American Songwriter. Mr. Souther’s songs have appeared on over 117 million albums sold worldwide. In 2012, he was cast as a guest star on ABC’s hit show Nashville as legendary producer, songwriter and mentor Watty White. Mr. Souther has received many accolades including Grammy nominations, Academy of Country Music and American Music Awards, over twenty ASCAP performance awards and the prestigious ASCAP Golden Note Award in 2009. The world is a little lonelier place without you Rest in Peace J.D. you will be missed
Please god...protect JD. Keep him with us as long as possible or as long as he chooses to grace us. Our beloved genius. The perfect voice of our generation...Thank you Lord!! Thank you John D Souther. Thank you SO MUCH!!
After 40 plus years of playing my old guitar and trying to sing, it's guys like JD Souther and Jackson Brown that make me want to put my guitar in the corner and just listen.
I think his decision to allow others the privilege of singing his songs eclipsed his own fame. But I don’t think he cared. Like Ronstadt it is always about the integrity of the song
Are you kidding me? He's as famous as anyone can be in my mind! and in my generation....he was as famous as it got! I put him as the 4th best writer/genius of my generation.. and we had Dylan, Lennon/McCartney, Brian Wilson, James Taylor,.and Karla Bonoff! Souther is in that lofty upper-tier PANTHEON!! He's IT! GO AND TOP THAT MILLENNIALS!
OK...and I loved...Cyndi Lauper. Money changes everything.... I so wanted to see that at the 2016 Dem blowout in Philly... Lauper coming down a rope while Hillary was trying to speak. lol! Stop me. Please...Stop me! lol!
I love tge way that JD talks about songs themselves as if they were people he cares about-protecting their spines, etc. What a gentleman poet, an imaginer of the good parts of life, the encouragement he gives to live through realities. He emodies what humility looks like.
I've been a longtime fan of JD Souther. I didn't know about this. I'm so glad to hear about it. I'm amazed at how well he can still sing. What a great voice in addition to be one of the best songwriters ever.
One of my favorite albums by one of my favorite singer/songwriter for the past 40 some odd years. I guess we have grown old together in many ways, thank you JD.
Everytime I see JD Souther on any videos or interviews, talking to the audience, not only am I reminded of his greatness but also of how greatly entertaining he is as a comedian. He totally cracks me up!😊
He’s a special gift to this world! A silent force behind some of the most appreciated songs. I met him briefly in the 70’s when I was a teenager. I knew he was a musician, but I didn’t know who he was till a few weeks later when I went to see him. What I remember from that brief encounter was the still and observant compassion In his eyes. He also seemed a little shy. I loved this video and he’s still as handsome as ever!! I always loved Black Rose and I sing it all the time. Thank you JD Souther, I hope to see you in January 2020. ❤️
I was wondering why my 10 year old son suddenly had a big fascination with JD Souther. After some time of getting info. I realized why. Mr. Souther, my son loves to sing your music. He said your as cool as Frank Sinatra! He said your music makes him feel happy, sad and good at the same time. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift!
Very good songs made beautiful by singing and playing them the way they were written. The emotion is allowed to really come through... This is music where 'less' is definitely 'more'.
Going to hear JD Souther tonight & cannot wait! I first heard of him when I saw his name on a Linda Ronstadt album 30 years ago. It sounds like his voice is perfection..
I'm old and don't know much, but any words that come out of JD's mouth in an interview, is like listening to the only real voice of genius. If Michel Angelo had only painted by numbers, then JD would have been the genius behind those numbers.
I just downloaded this entire release. How I missed it until now I don’t know. I knew Don Henley intimately back in the day. He was so kind to me. A very young girl with a knowledge of musicians, songwriters and singers well beyond my years. I met most everyone in the Southern Cali music scene although I doubt very much they remember me 😉. JD and Linda were sometimes a couple but always there for each other. The people I saw come and go on those nights...the backstage warmup harmonies I was privy to...i wouldn’t change a thing about being alive in 74-77. Although I did drive my poor family insane with my lack of high school attendance..it was the 70’s❤️ and I managed to graduate. Don Henley remains a friend to this day. I don’t see him...but he’s got my back
Well, I am so happy that I love the Eagles and looked at the "thank you"-notes and the writers of the Eagles albums and songs. Thats where I met John David Souther´s name the first times. JD Souther is tremendously talented.
Honestly, I realize he wrote so many of the songs the Eagles had hits with and when you hear the same song when someone sings it,to me it's not the same, but I really love the way he sings these songs.Nothing gets lost in his way of representing the music!No wonder so many of his songs became hits!
François, I have wondered that for 40+ years. I would love to know the answer to that question. I've been a fan of JD, the Eagles, Jackson Browne, and Linda Ronstadt for many years. Can't think of one without the others.They were the '70's for me.
Natural History is a fine piece of work, perhaps Souther's best. Unlike many of his peers in the biz, the years have been kind to JD's voice, at least as a vehicle for these songs. He is vocally a better match for them now than when they were first written. The new arrangements add a great deal to several of the cuts. In particular, the piano-driven "Best Of My Love" is elevated from the mildly pleasant dirge of the Eagles version to candidacy as an enduring pop standard. Great!
Thanks for sharing, this sounds awesome. I've always been a huge JD fan. I love the fact that so many folks don't really know the tremendous impact he's had "not quite behind the scenes". Besides being a reknown songwriters songwriter, JD's always been an incredible artist and one of my all time favorites. I can't wait for the new release and the tour!
I love what his producer said: that JD should play his songs....'in a stripped down, intimate manner... so people can hear them for the 1st time'. That's exactly how I felt when listening to these gems.
JD is sounding great in these stripped down acoustic renditions of some truly great songs. I will buy the album - I love his music and his voice. I am pleased that he was prevailed upon to record this album. :-)
Also, I was a journalist once. If I had JD Souther in an interview one question would burn in my mind: Why were you never part of The Eagles? I'm convinced the answer would be fascinating.
Really excited about this album, long overdue. The opportunity to hear reinvented, stripped down versions of classic songs will breathe new life into the original work. Kudos to JD for taking the leap of faith.
JD, I first saw your name on Linda Ronstadt's albums in the 70s, and I was drawn to you. Her songs by you were so wonderful. I fell in love with you then, and now in these videos I see you for the first time in this year 2018. I'm so happy to hear your marvelous voice, and see you. Thanks for all the beauty!
Great video. And that sounds like Little Victories Of The Heart at the end... I've been waiting for that song for many years since I saw JD sing it on American Music Shop. Can't wait....
Before there is a hit song, there is simply a great song, often written by a songwriter that is relatively unknown. Some artists are songwriters themselves but I feel bad for people such as JD Souther not getting the proper recognition they deserve for hits that are wrongly associated to The Eagles, Ronstadt and others.
J D Souther is the real thing. Much like a Sam Shepard, Sam Elliott, or Jeff Bridges. True American artistry with a natural ease and a deep well of understated talent and honesty. I've loved his song writing since SHF and then "Black Rose". I marvel at how his songs hook you with interesting chord progressions and unexpected key changes which, at first, seem to come from out of left field and make you think "well, we're in the weeds here now and how are we going to get back to the original melody", until the resolve. Great singer, "and a rodeo smile". Love this album.
Just wonderful. Thanks to all concerned especially JD himself. This is a real gem and I just love the new CD. If you want to hear real musical class just buy it.
good news for me & anyone who loves j.d...i have always been knocked out by his work, & have performed lots of his first solo stuff, when no one knew...so, i can't wait to hear what he's done. never been dissapointed yet.
I just bought two tickets to The Soiled Dove an intimate venue in Denver, Co. on August 21st. Iv'e been to hundreds of concerts and seen most everybody that's any good, but this will be an experience of a lifetime..thank you Mr. Souther.
So clearly remember when I got Souther, Hillman and Furry album some 45yrs ago (excuse my spelling) now I know where they went. He would have been a great addition to the Eagles.
Another One , If Not The Premier All Time Hometown Heros From Amarillo , Texas ! I Knew His Younger Sister Briefly When She Had One Of His Live Shows From California Live Broadcast To Amarillo College In The Early or Mid 70's . I Also Knew His Father Working Retail At Hasting 's Records In Amarillo . I Finally Had The Honor Of Meeting Him In Person At The Fire Station Recording Studio In San Marcos , Texas In The Mid 8o's . The Roy Orbison Final Concert I Believe He Orchestrated In Honor Of One , If Not His Favorite Influencers & Mentor Mr. Lonely Himself ....R.I.P. Roy !
I'm sure this will be a great album. I will buy it. However, many of these songs J.D. already recorded and not all the songs here were songs done by others. Not sure the reason to redo those, other than to give them a stripped down acoustic version. I am looking forward to an album of new songs - hopefully we won't have to wait as long this time...
"Is that John Jorgenson at 00:38?" Pretty sure it is... I had to go find to other pics in order to form an opinion. The picture of John I have in my mind is in a sequined western suit standing to the left of Chris & Herb in Desert Rose. The guy in the video doesn't look anything like that..:)
The *_beautiful, clear, calming_* voice and the songs of J.D. Souther will be with us until the end of time. *_Rest peacefully._*
JD was one of the kindest and most incredible singer/songwriters I ever heard. RIP dear John David Souther. Enjoy a jam up there with Glenn. 💔🎶💔
Rest in Peace...

After 40 plus years of playing my old guitar and trying to sing, it's guys like JD Souther and Jackson Brown that make me want to put my guitar in the corner and just listen.
You can still do both, Lawrence...maybe just not at the same time!
we're going to play your songs over and over. Thank you!
He's probably one of the best songwriters ever, he's also a great singer such a talent.
Not "probably". He is one of the top 5 best songwriters of the last 100 years!
JD should have been more famous. He's a phenomenal talent. What a voice.
I think his decision to allow others the privilege of singing his songs eclipsed his own fame. But I don’t think he cared. Like Ronstadt it is always about the integrity of the song

Thanks JD for visiting our little town...we love you. Always have.
What an iconic and beautiful voice, J.D.
I love tge way that JD talks about songs themselves as if they were people he cares about-protecting their spines, etc. What a gentleman poet, an imaginer of the good parts of life, the encouragement he gives to live through realities. He emodies what humility looks like.

What a talent man. He is one of the best.
I’ve always have liked his music. His voice made me happy. He is a beautiful man
We all had crushes on him back in the day. I still do

You sound like you are young again. Wow,these are the best songs,and greatest singer👍🇨🇦❤️
An awesome songwriter and a great voice. He is a classic, who transcends many generations!
Songwriting goes to the heart! JD was the best
Still is !

Wonderful interview. I have always enjoyed JDS. A beautiful voice from the start seems to have gotten better, if that was possible.
Very, very well preserved voice, maybe better than ever.
still got that great voice!
JD is amazing
A genius with a very beautiful voice.
YES! YES!
Now this is long overdue. I can listen to JD 24/7. BRAVO!!! and thank you.
Well, I am so happy that I love the Eagles and looked at the "thank you"-notes and the writers of the Eagles albums and songs. Thats where I met John David Souther´s name the first times. JD Souther is tremendously talented.

RIP 💔😥🕊️ thank you for your gifts.

Crush on JD....
thank you mr Souther,it IS good to hear the lyricist sing his own song.loved/love all the songs.again thank you,very sentimental vibes.
Thank you JD Souther for the beautiful songs.
Fan of yours forever.
JD is such a talent. So creative. Love his voice. So glad he decided to go back in time and recreate his beautiful hits. Sooooo good!
“The music begins to play.” Yes Lord
I want this recording. This is as good as music gets.

He answered it. He said he didn't think they needed another singing guitar player. And he wasn't really interested in being in a band.
craftsman of sound and nuance; hit the spot.
Wow. Can't wait for the show in Chapel Hill. I really love these songs. Thanks for the video.
Really excited about this album, long overdue. The opportunity to hear reinvented, stripped down versions of classic songs will breathe new life into the original work. Kudos to JD for taking the leap of faith.

Marvelous! I've loved all these songs seems forever. Thanks for this album!
This is a fantastic album.
What A voice。❤❤❤
A wonderful way of revisiting some of JD's classic songs....... Perfect.
“Easy money, faithless women, redeye whiskey for the pain”

Thank You.
fucking awesome JD - so glad to hear you sound so good - been a fan since day one!
Omg the best
good news for me & anyone who loves j.d...i have always been knocked out by his work, & have performed lots of his first solo stuff, when no one knew...so, i can't wait to hear what he's done. never been dissapointed yet.
I like the singers but it's the song writer who has my heart always
I just bought two tickets to The Soiled Dove an intimate venue in Denver, Co. on August 21st. Iv'e been to hundreds of concerts and seen most everybody that's any good, but this will be an experience of a lifetime..thank you Mr. Souther.
PRICELESS
My favourite song is New Kid in Town . This is just fabulous
So clearly remember when I got Souther, Hillman and Furry album some 45yrs ago (excuse my spelling) now I know where they went. He would have been a great addition to the Eagles.
Love you JD
He's coming to Northeast Texas April 12. Can't wait.
I saw JD with James Taylor in covert 1971
What a moment in time for you..that’s a double threat right there
Is that John Jorgenson at 00:38?
JD has always been my hero. Thanks a lot for this.
Another One , If Not The Premier All Time Hometown Heros From Amarillo , Texas ! I Knew His Younger Sister Briefly When She Had One Of His Live Shows From California Live Broadcast To Amarillo College In The Early or Mid 70's . I Also Knew His Father Working Retail At Hasting 's Records In Amarillo . I Finally Had The Honor Of Meeting Him In Person At The Fire Station Recording Studio In San Marcos , Texas In The Mid 8o's . The Roy Orbison Final Concert I Believe He Orchestrated In Honor Of One , If Not His Favorite Influencers & Mentor Mr. Lonely Himself ....R.I.P. Roy !
Love it ❤️
Just bought the CD on iTunes - even better than expected.
Farewell JD, now you know all the secrets of the universe.
💔
absolutely great
I'll be there till the bars burn down.
brilliant
Love that vibe
i.feel.the.love......
Grande artista poco conosciuto in Italia.
I'm sure this will be a great album. I will buy it. However, many of these songs J.D. already recorded and not all the songs here were songs done by others. Not sure the reason to redo those, other than to give them a stripped down acoustic version.
I am looking forward to an album of new songs - hopefully we won't have to wait as long this time...
Souther,Hillman Furay album is so fine
"Is that John Jorgenson at 00:38?" Pretty sure it is... I had to go find to other pics in order to form an opinion. The picture of John I have in my mind is in a sequined western suit standing to the left of Chris & Herb in Desert Rose. The guy in the video doesn't look anything like that..:)
Thank you Fred Mollin too
RIP
Yes i play Lost Love ,
😍
