JD CLARKE -- ALL THAT MATTERS -- 2005 -- AVAILABLE ON ITUNES








"All of the artists that I’ve worked with as a producer posses a redeeming talent in one or more areas in the process of making good modern country music. JD Clarke has talent in all of them. From the very first home recording on which he performed all the instruments and wrote and sang all of his own vocals I was truly blown away. These are just the obvious attributes JD clearly is gifted in but the other, often underestimated characteristics that are as much a part of a successful career are there in JD as well. By that I mean a sense of adventure and the importance of utilizing his born talents to their maximum. He also has a natural charisma that the lack of sometimes hinders an otherwise great artist. But mostly a genuine honesty that with out I don’t think it’s possible to excel in the writing and delivering of great country music. JD has it all. In him I see not one missing ingredient in the makings of a long and healthy career..."

You could say my music has a little bit of everything in it. I grew up listening to all kinds of different music styles. I think some of my strongest inflences would have to be, Bryan Adams, The Eagles, Vince Gill and Keith Urban. I was also a huge fan of Def Leppard and AC/DC. I have played in bands all my life mostly doing covers of my favorite songs and now I am getting to write my own music and lovin' it. So if you listen real close to all my songs, old and new, you can hear how my music may have been influnced by those artists that I grew up listening to.
