About this episode
The episode features a discussion about JD Clayton's album 'Blue Sky Sundays' and the excitement of covering a requested album.
Episode 23 Album: Blue Sky Sundays Artist: JD Clayton CT&OB loves when we get a "1st time" when recording. In this "1st time" we had an artist request us to do their newest album. JD Clayton reached out to us after we did an episode covering his album "Long Way From Home". CT&OB was excited to hear that JD listened to our episode and WANTED us to do another! When we started CT&OB, we made a rule to not do records under a year because we didn't want it to sound like a review, but once we talked we agreed to do an episode about "Blue Sky Sundays" (*because rules are meant to be broken*). CT&OB had a fun doing this episode, especially since we recently did 2 of JD's albums closer together. This record is very 'down home sounding', you can turn this record on and see the stories unfold. The sounds, the lyrics and over all composition of the album brings you back home and to a relaxing time. JD we hope to get up to Chicago and get on an episode soon! GO SUPPORT THIS ARTIST!!! Buy the merch, go see the show and listen to their music!!! Insta: @jdclaytonofficial Website: https://jdclaytonofficial.com/
