Those Okies know how to make good tunes. I, myself, am a fan of the Red Dirt style of country. It's kind of a anti-Nashville sound that was bread in college towns like Stilwater, OK and Austin. It's more Johnny Cash and less Rascal Flats (actually not at all like anything country in the last 20 years).
JD McPherson definitely subscribes to the "Older is better" mantra. You gotta get back to where it started and this is what the greats have always done. The Yardbirds come to mind. They were the counter-Beatles and re cut songs that their heroes wrote. Their heroes were the early Blues men from the Delta and Chicago. I shouldn't have to tell you that is where Keith Moon, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton started out.
Somehow, musicians let these guys (70's rockstars) become their inspiration without studying their heroes. Later, musicians started getting further and further away from where it all started. Music has become to diluted and it started sounding to "manufactured" and followed any trend that seemed to be hot at the moment.
This music pays homage to where it started and I think anyone who really wants a pure sound turns to it. Good job JD!
