JD Souther's beloved 1979 Columbia album - which yielded the chart-topping title track - returns in a remastered and expanded edition from Omnivore Recordings.  To bring to life the rich set of songs on You're Only Lonely, Souther enlisted a musical A-team including Waddy Wachtel on guitar, Don Grolnick on piano, Kenny Edwards on bass, and Rick Marotta on drums, with Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar also contributing on guitar, David Sanborn on alto saxophone, and Dan Dugmore on guitar and steel.  Wachtel, Jorge Calderon, and Phil Everly all sang harmony vocals, along with Edwards, Peter Asher, Hayden Gregg, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey.  That wasn't all: John Sebastian, Don Felder, Bread's Mike Botts, Tom Scott, Jai Winding, and Little Feat's Fred Tackett all played on the album, too.  Now, it's been spruced up for this new edition with two previously unreleased bonus tracks: an early version of "Bad News Travels Fast" - the song would appear on Souther's next LP - and the outtake "Ever Faithful Woman."  TSD's Joe Marchese interviewed Souther for the new liner notes, and Jordan McLeod at Osiris Studio has remastered.  Available on CD and LP (sans bonus tracks but with expanded packaging and liner notes).  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
