Editor's note

J.D. McPherson's throwback sound feels alive

An Oklahoma singer-guitarist who makes blues, rockabilly, and soul feel less like a museum piece and more like something you'd hear in a club.

For a good frame, try 'Fire Bug' for that live-wire energy, or 'Abigail Blue' for a slower, shuffling number. Both show what he does without overcomplicating it.

McPherson's music matters because it doesn't treat vintage sounds as artifacts. Songs like 'Fire Bug' and 'Scandalous' have a live-wire energy that feels immediate, not academic. He's backed by a tight band with upright bass and piano, and the whole thing just works without fuss.

He grew up in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and his first album 'Signs and Signifiers' came out in 2010. After a heart procedure forced him to cancel shows in 2016, he returned to touring and recording albums like 'Let the Good Times Roll' and 'Undivided Heart & Soul' that stuck with the same rootsy approach.

Archive material and source history

J.D. McPherson grew up in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where he picked up guitar and started singing. His first album, 'Signs and Signifiers,' came out in 2010 and got some attention for its throwback sound.

That style leans on blues, rockabilly, and soul, but he keeps it straightforward. Songs like 'Fire Bug' and 'Scandalous' have a live-wire energy that feels less like a museum piece and more like something you'd hear in a club. He's backed by a tight band with Jake Ryan on drums, Ray Jacildo on upright bass, and Doug Corcoran on piano.

McPherson had to cancel shows in 2016 after a heart procedure, but he returned to touring and recording. Later albums like 'Let the Good Times Roll' and 'Undivided Heart & Soul' stuck with the same rootsy approach, whether he's working a shuffle or a slower number like 'Abigail Blue.'
