JD McPherson, "Signs & Signifiers"
JD McPherson is an artist with an unaffected take on vital American music and a voice that channels the spirit of Little Richard and James Brown. McPhersons seductively kickass album, SIGNS & SIGNIFIERS, finds this renaissance man/hepcat seamlessly meshing the old and the new, the primal and the sophisticated, on a work that will satisfy traditional American rock 'n roll and R&B purists while also exhibiting McPhersons rarefied gift for mixing and matching disparate stylistic shapes and textures. Recorded at Hi-Style Studios in Chicago, IL.
