A key player in the LA country rock scene of the mid 60s to early 70s, J D Souther's impressive writing credentials for The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt have often overshadowed his solo work. This CD aims to put that right with 18 stunning tracks featuring the very best of his 4 critically acclaimed solo albums and 2 albums from country rock supergroup Souther- Hillman-Furay Band.

UNSUNG COUNTRY-ROCK HERO'S FINEST MOMENTS

Souther's is a name many will recognise from the sleeves of albums by others. A co-writer of several Eagles hits, including New Kid In Town and Best Of My Love, his voice can also be heard on 70s records from the likes of Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and James Taylor.
Border Town brings together the best of four solo albums and a brace of releases by the Souther Hillman Furay Band from between 1972 and 1984, which never really got the same attention as some of his Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter contemporaries. The Fast One and Pretty Goodbyes retain more than a hint of Eagles mellowness, but Souther digs deeper into the country psyche elsewhere. You're Only Lonely, as the title suggests, evokes the spirit of Roy Orbison (and gave JD his only US Top 10 hit), while Jesus In Three-Four Time brings to mind the honky-tonk of George Jones, albeit filtered through the hippy frailty of Gram Parsons.
The inclusion of two duets with Ronstadt could be read as a marketing move to attract a wider audience, but they're more than welcome if they help point folk in the direction of one of the laid-back LA scene's most criminally overlooked operators.
