J.D. Souther

Part of the problem was that I built this up in my head to see a terrific songwriter in an intimate venue. What I saw was a guy who was not in good form -at all - playing songs I knew - poorly. His guitar playing was fair at best and his voice just isn't what it used to be. He is touring California with his girlfriend who is probably about a third his age, who did an adequate job, but wasn't anything special. Overall I was happy to see a songwriting legend, but I'd never pay money to see him again.
