Jd McPherson - Signs and Signifiers

Named as an "artist you should know" in 2011 by NPR, singer/songwriter JD McPherson will make his Rounder Records debut April 17 with the release of SIGNS AND SIGNIFIERS. JD (John David) 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.
