[maggot]

Good Tuesday morning to you all and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again . Today we celebrate the 76th Birthday of Detroit born singer, songwriter, and actor, J. D. Souther, best known for co-writing with the Eagles (both collectively and individually) , Linda Ronstadt, as well as his work with Glenn Frey in Longbranch Pennywhistle. Happy Birthday JD ! Today we look and listen to his work in the country rock supergroup, Souther–Hillman–Furay Band (with Chris Hillman and Richie Furay) and their debut record, The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. The LP was released in 1974 on the Asylum label and produced by Richard Podolor. It peaked at #58 in Australia and #11 on the Billboard 200. "Fallin' in Love" (#27 Hot 100) and "Safe At Home" (#80 Cash Box) were released as singles. Our copy is autographed by Chris Hillman. We met him and got it and other records signed at a show in 2017, in Winter Haven, FL, at Gram Parsons Derry Down.
