JD McPherson’s Undivided Heart & Soul was developed largely in the studio, and carries a sense of immediacy and irreverence. “In writing this record, I threw several handfuls of caution to the wind. Lyrically, I was allowing myself to be exposed in a way I never have before. Concurrently, maybe as some sort of a self defense mechanism, the guitars got fuzzier and louder. The first day at RCA was like being in church... by the second day, it was a high school band’s rehearsal space.”
“Most folks know us for our take on vintage R&B and early rock ‘n’ roll. The past year, I’ve been digging so much into the heavier, brasher sounds of early rock ‘n’ roll... from bands like The Sonics, Link Wray, and into some early British rock such as The Creation... these influences feature heavily in these songs. The tunes that showed up weren’t exactly always in familiar territory, and... we greeted them as welcome strangers. They have a lot of heart... and that’s what rock ‘n’ roll should always have.”
