Rockabilly hero JD McPherson stopped by World Cafe Live on his way to Musikfest this evening out in central Pennsylvania. McPherson rocked the lunch hour with a set chock-full of 12-bar blues, organ and piano solos, and danceable tunes. “Country Boy,” the second song in the lineup, slowed things down with hard-swinging minor blues driven by Jimmy Sutton’s bass playing. “I Can’t Complain” and “Wolf Teeth” both had the entire crowd dancing and swinging along to his powerful, Buddy Holly influenced style.McPherson and his group are finishing up their sophomore cut, to be released in February 2015, and are about to embark on a tour of the midwest and west coast, and will be playing with Queens Of The Stone Age in Los Angeles. Listen back to the performance and check out the setlist and photos below!
