JD Clayton is the epitome of a Real Deal and the singer/songwriter is set to release his debut album Long Way From Home on January 27th, 2023.  There's no artifice surrounding the Arkansas-born singer and songwriter. No glitz. No pretension or mythology. There's a refreshing lack of gratuitous posturing or creative. The debut, 10-song offering has a simplicity and sincerity running throughout…earnest lyrics and lived-in vocals are delivered with a balance of warmth and resolve, and his timeless sound has an immediate appeal. Each song shares details inspired by his upbringing, the region where he was raised and looking back on life experiences. Clayton exudes gratitude for what he has and appreciation for what he almost lost. The young songwriter’s perspective shifted over the last few years and with that came a clarity that directed him to the artistic path he needed to be on. This album is the result of his journey.
