It’s difficult to believe that JD McPherson, one of the great classic-minded rock ‘n’ roll singer-songwriters of the modern age, hasn’t had a new album of non-seasonal material out in seven years. That absence of fresh recordings hasn’t caused anyone to issue any missing-person alerts for him in the past few years, though. He’s been quite visible, serving as both the band leader and opening act for three successive Robert Plant/Alison Krauss tours. At last, McPherson is concentrating on his solo career in a bigger way again this summer and fall, starting with “Sunshine Getaway,” a brand new track PvNew is premiering today.
“Sunshine Getaway” heralds the coming of McPherson’s fourth album, “Nite Owls.” (Fifth, if we count the original holiday collection “Socks,” since it is one of the greatest Christmas records ever made, but enough of math.) “Nite Owls” will be out on New West Records Sept. 27; pre-order info, including the requisite vinyl exclusives, can be found here.
