J.D. Souther is from Detroit , Michigan.
He is a Singer, Songwriter and Actor.
If this song sounds a little like the Early Eagles
it is because J.D wrote and practiced in the same
apartment building in Los Angeles as the Eagles.
Eventually JD was living with Linda Ronstadt
arranging her songs and then needing a Back up
band the original four Eagles were enticed to
back up Linda along with JD.
The eagles backed up Linda for two years and when they
left to strike out on their own they asked JD to join the Band.
He decided to stay with Linda and after a few more years
when they broke up he continued to work on Linda’s songs
as well as working on his own albums while living with
Stevie Nicks whom he also wrote songs and worked
on her arrangements.
He spent some time acting. in films and the TV Series
” One Tree Hill “as well as the TV Series ” Nashville “
This song ” You’re Only Lonely ” is such a contemplative
feel good song and became a top ten Hit.
The song was covered by almost everyone. Including
Linda, Roy Orbison, Eagles to name a few.
JD has released eight albums as well as the many
songs that he has written for other Artists.
Enjoy
