The album is the long-awaited return of a master singer/songwriter as well as the birth of a new and relevant artist who's creating music that is absolutely essential and entirely his own. Twenty-five years in the making, J.D. Souther's triumphant return with If The World Was You has most definitely been worth the wait.

The 6 song EP includes new live versions of tunes from If The World Was You, in addition to live rendition of some of JD best known songs.
