The J. D. Souther special on Time After Island Time (Part one of two)

Special Guest J. D. Souther

Produced by Paul Leslie and Jeff Pike
Legendary Singer-Songwriter J. D. Souther joined us for a conversation at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta, Georgia. Souther is perhaps best known for his songwriting. He has co-written and written songs for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Warren Zevon, Jimmy Buffett and others. J. D. Souther has also recorded five albums of his own. In 1979 he had a hit with his Roy Orbison influenced song "You're Only Lonely." His music has been covered by too many artists to name and his vocals have been heard on many popular recordings including his duet with James Taylor, which he co-wrote, "Her Town Too."
In this rare interview, J. D. Souther joined us to talk about his new album, "If the World Was You," which is his first release in 25 years. We invite everyone to tune in to hear J. D. Souther's story and also his music. "If the World Was You" is one of the most interesting records released as of lately, proving that there are still great songwriters out there making true art.
