    Default GF on JD Souther Debut Album

    Picked up at a Thrift store a copy of a 1972 JD Souther (author of a few Eagles songs) album. Its his debut LP and on it Frey plays on various tracks. Paid $1 for it. The album also includes a later Eagle hit, How Long.

    Ooohhhh, good find, OMNJ. I keep thinking I need to get out to record stores to see what I can find, but never do.

    Very cool find, OMNJ - and quite a steal for a buck!

    Amazing how JD in this 1972 album sounds like GF. Or is it the other way around. They have that same Michigan twang...maybe they spent too much time together I dunno. But these are easily GF type songs.

    Interesting observation, OMNJ. I think you're onto something in that they sound alike because their musical influences were the same at the time and they were always together!

    Awesome that you found The Allnighter on vinyl too, OMNJ. What a deal - but I will say that many of us who are familiar with all of Glenn's solo work do not rate this one among his best albums. I don't know if you have listened to any of Glenn's other albums, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. We have a thread dedicated to the album ...

    JD grew up in Texas and has a Texas drawl. I actually think Glenn adopted more of a Texas twang by hanging with JD than JD adopting any of Glenn's Michigan stylings, despite the fact he too was born there.

    I have the CD and really like it. You got a steal, OMNJ!
