"Hard Times"
Writer: Myers/Noble; Producer: Rusty McFarland/JD Myers; Label:Twangabilly

Former Asylum artist Myers is going the indie route with a collection that is straight up the Americana alley. Its title tune is a rootsy country rocker with deep-twang guitar, wailing harmonica and a pounding backbeat. Heartily recommended.

"Wishin' And Waitin"
Writer: Myers/Thompson/Woody; Producer: Barry Beckett; Label:Asylum

Spectacular country-rock groove with plenty of bottom, driving rhythm and chiming electric guitar. Myers rides on top with a marvelously understated, finely phrased reading that gets under your skin. I didn't want it to end.

- Robert K. Oermann

JD Myers' debut album, "Like a Train", is an impressive debut that finds the Virginia native crafting a gritty fusion of honky tonk, Bakersfield country, rockabilly and early rock & roll. Myers has a deep, resonant voice that can handle honky tonk weepers and rocking boogies with equal flair. He also shows promise as a songwriter, which helps make "Like A Train" a thoroughly impressive debut.

- Thom Owens

Look out Tim, step aside Kenny: With sizzling guitar and robust vocals placed smartly up front, and boasting arrangements as tight around the rear as a new pair of Levi's, the music of Virginia native JD Myers is some seriously hot, radio-ready country primed to bust down the doors of Music Row.
