John David Souther

"We always said our motto was 'we're building to last.'  We really spent a lot of time on the songs.  The other motto was, 'no filler.'  You don't make a single and then put a bunch of filler on an album.  You make an album and hope you have a single," JD Souther shared with me earlier this year.  The singer-songwriter's extraordinary body of work, one of the cornerstones of the Southern California rock sound, reflected that ethos: "You're Only Lonely."  "Faithless Love." "Her Town Too."  "Best

JD Souther You're Only Lonely

Michigan-born, Texas-raised John David Souther was one of the first artists signed to David Geffen and Elliot Roberts' groundbreaking Asylum label in 1971.  His two albums for Asylum, John David Souther (1972) and Black Rose (1976), established the singer-songwriter's distinctive voice on such now-classic songs as "Faithless Love," "How Long," and "Simple Man, Simple Dream."  In 1979, Souther moved over to the Columbia label where he scored a chart-topping hit with the title track of You're Only

John David Souther

In 2007, a new song from the Eagles blazed onto the radio airwaves, climbing to a Top 10 AC/Top 25 Country berth on the Billboard charts.  But the infectious, breezy "How Long," with its classic Eagles sound, wasn't new at all.  The song was written by JD Souther and included on his 1972 Asylum Records debut John David Souther.  When the Eagles included it on Long Road Out of Eden, the band's first studio album since 1979, it rekindled the creative relationship with Souther, an "honorary Eagle"

Omnivore Recordings is kicking off 2016 with a trio of titles from one of The Second Disc's favorite singer-songwriters, the one and only JD Souther.  The label will celebrate the Michigan-born, Texas-raised and California-associated Songwriters Hall of Fame member with deluxe, expanded reissues of three unjustly-neglected classics of the SoCal scene: John David Souther, Black Rose and Home by Dawn.
