J. D. Souther

I noticed Jackson Browne there.

Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, T Bone Burnett, Stephen Souls, and Jennifer Warnes, 19-

Wow

...

What a voice, yeah, yeah

And the songs she would choose, JD-

But, uh-

All JD Souther songs and-

No, Joe Walsh was not involved.

Glenn Frey, J.D. Souther, and Timothy B. Schmidt.

B. Schmidt? B.

Schmidt.

1979, on this day the Eagles released Heartache Tonight from their album The Long Run.

This song came from a jam session between Glenn Frey and J.D. Souther, who we talked about yesterday.

Yesterday was the anniversary of J.D. Souther's death.

He would often visit Glenn Frey at his Los Angeles home when he was in town on tour.

They wrote the first verse while listening to some Sam Cooke songs.

phenomenal

coming in so that just gives you should give you uh an indication and hopefully set the tone because that then another important part of this eric is also the laurel canyon like wrecking crew figures into this right because that was the whole the whole california session musicians of the seventies were all a part of this Wadi Wattel and JD Souther.

And, you know, uh, just that whole group too was, was in, in weaving in and out, you know, Wadi working with Stevie Nick solo and right.

You know, Linda Ronstadt employing all these people.

And then just, you know, JD Souther sings, you're only, only lonely.

And all those people are on it, you know, Russ Kunkel and, you know, all these different, uh, different artists and

eagles themselves were the backing band for her yeah first started out and then of course they got their own thing going uh so you know you can count them in there as well jackson jackson brown yeah absolutely it was a

know,

It's got a wonderful, you know, box set cover and inside is the book with a wonderful picture of the band kind of brooding perfect from that era of the, you know, late 76.

But the whole album is the whole, excuse me, the whole book is so great because you do an amazing job of covering, even though the book is about whole California, there's all the lead up to the whole career of the band and, you know, from the early years from, you know, when they were in Laurel Canyon with Jackson Brown and J.D. Souther and Linda Ronstadt, you know, all the way up to the album and then after.

I love how you've covered the complete career in a very, you know, condensed way.

Well, the whole format of the Great Album series, which this is a part of,

So you wouldn't necessarily expect to find illustrations like that in a book about a rock album.

But we try to keep it interesting and as varied as possible.

Well, you did and you cover, again, like I said, you were just bringing up these sidebars are so great because it's kind of everything in the Eagles world from their producers, you said Irving, Azov, J.D. Souther, and you go into things like the record plant where they recorded Criteria Studios.

And even about a whole sidebar and filming or the photographing of the cover of the album and how the guy had to go at night so they wouldn't know that they're using that hotel and taking it from a position that you really couldn't tell at that hotel.
