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
