Today I was at the 5 guys burger joint and they were rocking this song, never heard of JD McPherson but I'm now hooked to this song!

[DrakeMagnum]

Some of their songs are destined to be a knockout in a movie. I can practically see it.

"A compassionate heart, without a dollar to loan." I hear you brother, nothing but bad luck. Amen.

I had never heard of JD when I heard him & his band open for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss on Monday. Halfway through his first song, I knew I was going to be a fan for life! He's got it all--great sound, great songs, great voice and a great band. As for his guitar chops, it's enough to know that RP/AK chose him to be the lead guitarist in their band! So impressed, love every song of his I've heard so far.

What I LOVE about JDs band is how simple the chords are. The music....it's simple, it's rock n roll, the bass is just perfect, everything. It comes out in his voice. Truly one of the absolute best and yet underrated bands out there. I wish they would come to SE Pennsylvania!

I never heard of you until today on Outlaw Country Radio. I am a Grandmother in Ohio who usually listens to Christian Pop, but I have been head banging to this all night!

[tommypersson]

Thank you JD and the band, please do not listen to everyone. You can not bring everyone when you create something. Just follow your own path and Rock on

BIG Thanks from Sweden.

I just love him and every word he sings, he's unique despite the comparisons.

[pjotr]

This pleaser of a song gives me chills. EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for a simple man like myself.

[MJ-snue]

I have been a fan for 2 years. I finally got to see them live at the MN state fair labor day weekend. Awesome live band. Love these guys! Real rock and roll!

[ZenobiaDecrespin]

This is my current favorite song it slaps 😂 respect JD ❤

[rodshop]

Yep. JD has pulled together one of the best bands I've ever heard. These guys are fantastic.

[sup]

Different. Want to hear the whole album.

[adamrichards]

Man, these guys just get better and better. Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in March, and even met them after the show. Supremely talented and damn nice people to be around. Going to try to make it to the release party... but if that doesn't pan out I'll still be buying the new album as soon as it's available.

Hey Guys,
I first heard about JD when he did an interview with Terry Gross of NPR's Fresh Air talking aobut his life and his brand new Christmas album which I loved. My favorite Christmas music is from Socks by JD and the boys. Absolutely fun, wistful at times extremely catchy, wormy eary (is that a word I just invented? hahaha) and that of course led me to this release which is equally brilliant.

I am going to catch JD and the boys this August opening for Alison Krauss and Robert Plant in Paso Robles, CA and can't wait. Lucky Penny and JD's style in general is (at least to my ear) different. Yes, it has pop stylings that make it easy to listen to and stick in your head but, he and the boys seem to have elements of rock-a-billy, rock and roll, pop and a little je ne sais pas in that mix to keep us on our toes.

The end result is something I have never really heard before. In some ways it has kind of a punk streak a la Elvis Costello because of the intelligent song writing that both artists feature. JD is still very young and I can't imagine where his artistry will take him in say 20 or 30 years but, it promises to be quite a ride so thank you JD and thanks to your great band.

I wish you and the boys and all your families nothing but, happiness, health and success in all your endeavors.

P.s. We are all so lucky that the teaching thing didn't work out for you man! hahaha Cheers!
