JD Clayton

Introduction to JD Clayton

The Fort Smith Arkansas native, JD Clayton, released his debut album Long Way From Home, early last year which has received overwhelming critical acclaim. There's no artifice surrounding the Arkansas-born singer and songwriter. No glitz. No pretension or mythology. JD Clayton's sound, and where he chooses to make it—Arkansas, the most western of the southern states—is a bridge between the southern rock on which he was raised, and the truth-telling tradition from the 70s era of country music that he most favors.

Blue Sky Sundays

As a result, the songs on his thrilling new album Blue Sky Sundays feel both lived in and completely free. Like any great songwriter, Clayton is both leader and follower, telling his own story but reveling in how it unfolds in live time and relates to listeners individually. The album is about clarity. It's about leaving the things that let us down behind, Clayton says. It's about love and family and joy. It took me about four months of being sober to have a clear enough head to process this. I think I finally understand that piece of the puzzle at least.
