5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise, December 14, 2002

I just bought this CD (originally recorded in 1984 and rereleased by Wounded Bird Records this past summer) and I can't stop listening to it! John David Souther has long been a favorite of mine (we saw him in the late '70's in a club in Georgetown) He has been around since the early days of the Country-Rock movement. Legend has it that he could have been one of the original EAGLES (he is on the cover of "Desperado"). This album has some of the classic support players and stars of that era - Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley and Waddy Watchell. There is song after solid song . Some of my early favorites are: "Go Ahead and Rain", "I'll Take Care of You", and "Night". This is a great, great find!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The smoothest voice around, December 22, 2002

Home by Dawn is the JD Souther album that monopolises my stereo more than any of the others in this genre. An album of really strong songs with the trademark silky smooth J D vocals. The great songs include Fast: Home by Dawn and Slow: Go ahead and Rain, All For You. J D is an artist whose brilliance far surpasses James Taylor & Jackson Browne with more melodies, more vocal depth and breadth and all round better performance. The backing group reads like a whos who of LA music, reflecting the acclaim that important musicians hold JD in. This album is one you can`t be without if you like Eagles, Tim Schmit, James Taylor, latter day Poco etc, get this, his best album.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most underrated albums of all time, November 3, 2003

It's a pity that JD Souther couldn't get the mass acceptance that he deserved with this album. No wonder he hasn't produced another album since this one came out almost 20 years ago.
