The Songfactor's Choice Top Ten #54

[Farin]

In case anyone else is interested, you still have about three hours to post your nominations

[Lucky]

Yes, it might make my Ten. He used to hang around with some of the Eagles. First time I heard the song I wasn't sure if it was a woman with a deep voice, until I found out the J.D. stood for John David.

I couldn't 'aquire' it from my usual source to post a sound only link. Where's bluesboy ? He can always find them !

Bluesboy isn't here but here's a link to You're Only Lonely by J. D. Souther for Can Am...

You're Only Lonely

Great song!! Along with a couple facts from allmusic:

"You're Only Lonely received some help from some pretty prominent musicians, as Souther hired Danny Kortchmar to play guitar, David Sanborn to add some sax, and even Phil Everly to help out with the harmony on one of the songs, as well as three members of the Eagles and even Jackson Browne."
