It was a rainy day in Nashville, and JD's voice was "on the edge" from the night before. He figured there was a good chance that he wouldn't be able to perform for us, and mentioned that he brought some rough mixes of an upcoming project for us to listen to. After a bit of getting comfy in the Celebrity Coach, and catching up with Jessie, he decided a couple of "soft vocal" tunes might work out. He bellied up nice and close to the Neumann mic and just floored everybody on the bus with this rare little standard. I believe he does "Bye Bye Blackbird" in concert on occasion---all the more reason for you to catch a JD Souther showsometime soon.
Oh, by the way, we never did get to hear those rough mixes!
