Press / Reviews

Every singer/songwriter is a sum of his or her influences.  For JD Pederson those influences are solid ones.  Whether it's the San Francisco sound of Boz Scaggs and Tower Of Power, or the style of artists such as The Eagles, Jackson Browne and Van Morrison, Pederson has developed a strong personal style based in classic sounds.  What makes Pederson special is that he's taken these roots and catalyzed them into something new and unpredictable.   

JD Pederson's "It Seems Like Only Yesterday" lives up to the classic singer/songwriter mantle it bears across these songs.  Pederson shows a competency in lyrics and arranging that places him above the pack.  His gift for melody and creating a story environment in his songs is notable, and at times he rises to the crest of brilliance.   It Seems Like Only Yesterday certainly will give listeners motivation to see what JD Pederson does next. 

Rating: 4 Stars (Out of 5)
