The Only Music I'm Listening To These Days: J.D. McPherson

Confession: I listen to NPR every day. I have a half hour commute to work, and I just can't deal with the idiots that are on morning shows. Hence, I started listening to NPR and now I JUST CAN'T STOP! Does anybody else have this kind of addiction? Anyhow, I heard someone interviewing J.D. McPherson the other day when I was pulling into the Target parking lot. I just went ahead and stayed in my car and listened to the whole story, because this guy is great!

He's like if the Black Keys did 50's rock and roll instead of the blues. Oh, did I mention this came out like last year and not in 1957? This whole album was recorded in analog with vintage amps, mics, etc. It's really good! I listened to it four times in the first day that I had it, and if that's not indicative of its awesomeness, I don't know what would be.

Here's another song I like:

I wish he would come to my town because I do a really mean twist :(

What is he so depressed about on this album cover? He must be frustrated that his album isn't in stores, so you have to buy it online or download. But it's so worth it. It's so choice.
