Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, iconic musician and actor JD Souther releases his new albumTenderness via Sony Music Masterworks. Produced by Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux, Melody Gardot, Herbie Hancock), the album will be available on May 12, 2015.

“JD Souther is both a legendary and mysterious figure in American popular music,” says Chuck Mitchell, SVP of Sony Music Masterworks. “He’s a self-described ‘classicist’ who, in his new work, draws a through line between the first great songbook of Porter, Kern, etc., and his own generation’s massive impact on the art of the song. The result is an album that brings a new and fresh perspective to this amazing singer-songwriter’s contributions.”

“Now there are many ways to listen to music, and my intention is, as always, that each song tell its own story,” adds Souther.  “However, Tenderness is designed as a set.  I invite you to enjoy it this way.”

“JD Souther proves once again why he’s an American treasure,” says Irving Azoff, the music industry icon whose company manages Souther.

Called “an American songwriting treasure” (Creative Loafing), with a “musical history that is improbably rich” (San Diego Union Tribune), Souther’s Tendernesscontinues the new  path in sound and style that he has forged since his return to recording in 2008; but at the same time, the album is unlike anything he has previously recorded.  Joining Souther on guitar and vocals are longtime collaborators pianist Chris Walters and saxophonist Jeff Coffin; as well as new friends, vocalist Lizz Wright and trumpet master Till Bronner. Jazz piano legend and recent Grammy Award winner Billy Childs is on board as well; he also has arranged the elegant and searing strings on half the album’s tracks.

On Tenderness, Souther balances his pop and jazz sensibilities paying particular homage to his earliest influences, the geniuses of the 20th Century Great American Songbook, while maintaining the signature qualities that have made him one of the true contemporary giants of American song.

Souther is best known penning countless hits for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Roy Orbison, James Taylor, Don Henley, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Brooks and Dunn and others; while establishing a cult following as a performer with the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band and as a solo artist.
