Americana Revolution Review #002: JD Thompson

JDThompson Here in a word is why I love going to my PO Box. Every day is like Christmas. And there is always the possibility of the thrill of discovery when you take off the shrink wrap. It came in a slim case, no frills, and for whatever reason, I popped it in my CD player first on the way home. And wow! As I came to find out after perusing the one sheet, five time Grammy Award winner Lou Adler has come back to produce this CD, of uprooted Oklahoma born JD Thompson. Chasing Demons
lives in that Southern Gothic pocket that I love so much. Dark, percussive, insistent. Check out:

Walking Tall
- as good a point of entry as there is

Swingin'
- strips it down to unveil the folk behind

Mary Anne
- haunting spaghetti western

Gone Gone Gone
- gentle country infused sorrow
