ARTIST BACKGROUND

About J.D. Souther

J.D. Souther developed his songwriting in the Los Angeles music community around the Troubadour. His partnership with Glenn Frey included Longbranch/Pennywhistle, while Eagles and Linda Ronstadt recorded his songs. His own catalog includes Black Rose and You're Only Lonely. Later work with a small group of jazz musicians on If the World Was You reflected another side of his musical interests.
