I had never heard of JD when I heard him & his band open for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss on Monday. Halfway through his first song, I knew I was going to be a fan for life! He's got it all--great sound, great songs, great voice and a great band. As for his guitar chops, it's enough to know that RP/AK chose him to be the lead guitarist in their band! So impressed, love every song of his I've heard so far.
What I LOVE about JDs band is how simple the chords are. The music....it's simple, it's rock n roll, the bass is just perfect, everything. It comes out in his voice. Truly one of the absolute best and yet underrated bands out there. I wish they would come to SE Pennsylvania!
Thank you JD and the band, please do not listen to everyone. You can not bring everyone when you create something. Just follow your own path and Rock on ........ BIG Thanks from Sweden.
I never heard of you until today on Outlaw Country Radio. I am a Grandmother in Ohio who usually listens to Christian Pop, but I have been head banging to this all night!
Man, these guys just get better and better. Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in March, and even met them after the show. Supremely talented and damn nice people to be around. Going to try to make it to the release party... but if that doesn't pan out I'll still be buying the new album as soon as it's available.
They played the venue I Engineer for in Denver last weekend, J.D. and the rest offered to lend a hand getting the opening band setup because things were running a bit behind. And on top of being gentlemen,they burned the damn place down when they took the stage! More excellent humans I've not met.
I have been a fan for 2 years. I finally got to see them live at the MN state fair labor day weekend. Awesome live band. Love these guys! Real rock and roll!
I feel you I was listening to his Christmas music didn't know anything else and all of a sudden this popped up I'm digging it I will definitely be at his show I love the fuzz 😅
This new album is fire. I’ve probably played it now over 15 times almost non-stop. And this song is standout for sure. All songs are gems on the album.
Hey Guys, I first heard about JD when he did an interview with Terry Gross of NPR's Fresh Air talking aobut his life and his brand new Christmas album which I loved. My favorite Christmas music is from Socks by JD and the boys. Absolutely fun, wistful at times extremely catchy, wormy eary (is that a word I just invented? hahaha) and that of course led me to this release which is equally brilliant. I am going to catch JD and the boys this August opening for Alison Krauss and Robert Plant in Paso Robles, CA and can't wait. Lucky Penny and JD's style in general is (at least to my ear) different. Yes, it has pop stylings that make it easy to listen to and stick in your head but, he and the boys seem to have elements of rock-a-billy, rock and roll, pop and a little je ne sais pas in that mix to keep us on our toes. The end result is something I have never really heard before. In some ways it has kind of a punk streak a la Elvis Costello because of the intelligent song writing that both artists feature. JD is still very young and I can't imagine where his artistry will take him in say 20 or 30 years but, it promises to be quite a ride so thank you JD and thanks to your great band. I wish you and the boys and all your families nothing but, happiness, health and success in all your endeavors. P.s. We are all so lucky that the teaching thing didn't work out for you man! hahaha Cheers! Peter St. John Clovis, CA
If you ever get the chance to see this band play live, you MUST go! I will be at the 11/14 show in Ferndale. I've seen him several times already and will continue to do so.
[Verse 1] Jokers turn to Kings and diamonds to dust I tried to beat the house but every hand was a bust Another day ends, another begins Another night sleeping on needles and pins [Chorus] I keep rolling where the bad wind blows I keep running, but the trouble follows Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck [Refrain] Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck [Verse 2] My rusty old rings are coming undone Fraying at the seams every mile that I run Another bad move, another dead stop Another wrong turn on the way to the top [Chorus] I keep rolling where the bad wind blows I keep running, but the trouble follows Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck [Refrain] Bad luck Bad luck [Verse 3] I've been playing to lose and dying to win A compassionate heart without a dollar to lend Deep in the red between the white lines It's a long road ahead and a long one behind [Chorus] I keep rolling where the bad wind blows I keep running, but the trouble follows Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck [Refrain] Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck Bad luck
This dudes skins are tuned perfect and he gave a lot for only having one tom-tom and one floor tom. Tasty is the right word. Nice to see someone who actually knows how to play instead of someone just beating the living shit out of them.
Just hearing this on BBC Radio 4 (live) !!! LOVE IT. Attempted twice a Shazam to no avail .. please tend to that such that others may discover this fantastic song !! Love, Ash.
I heard this in the bathroom at the AMC movie theater on "AMC radio". I never heard a note from "Black Keys", but I guess since so many of you say so. I do hear a lot of Josh Homme, with the xylophone sound. I had no idea he had a vintage upright bass sound, which was really big, in the mid 90's, when a lot of us old punk rockers got into 50's music my folks listened to when they were teens in the late 1950's. Maybe he needed a "radio song", I think people that like this song wouldn't really like the "rockabilly" sound, they just wouldn't get it. I remember Reverend Horton Heat playing in 1995, and some guy comes up and asks then if they are into the Stray Cats, the Rev wasn't amused. Whatever works man, this is cool, but it looks like people commenting are really divided. SO BE IT.
Okay I've been listening to the Christmas music and taking every one of those 🤗now I hear this and my mind is just blown💥💥🤗😳🤣 and you know what I thought if he plays any other kind of music it would sound exactly like this loving it loving it you have a new fan 🙉🙈🙊 hope you can do a show in the LA area soon 🤗I would love love to check it out good work my friend good work 😅
Just heard this song on the Five Guys channel, LoL. I usually know all the stuff they play, but was intrigued with this and had to look it up. Cool song.

"A compassionate heart, without a dollar to loan." I hear you brother, nothing but bad luck. Amen.

This music has heavy shades of ZZ Top.
Just saw RP/AK last night. SO impressed with JD, looking for more stuff now!
@@tomswenson4447 Same. Saw Plant/Krauss in Toledo, Ohio last night (6/14/24) and J.D. brought the house down with his warmup act.
Feeling down? Play this AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE....then just dance!!!! 💃
Yes!!! Love This Vibe to dance to!!
Must play it LOUD👌
What I LOVE about JDs band is how simple the chords are. The music....it's simple, it's rock n roll, the bass is just perfect, everything. It comes out in his voice. Truly one of the absolute best and yet underrated bands out there. I wish they would come to SE Pennsylvania!
I love it when I find a new blues artist in this century
@Ian L12 thank you, I certainly will!
Thank you JD and the band, please do not listen to everyone. You can not bring everyone when you create something. Just follow your own path and Rock on ........
BIG Thanks from Sweden.
I just heard this song for the first time ever today. Love it!
I just heard it for the first time today. That main riff has a great hook. 👍
Different. Want to hear the whole album.
I never heard of you until today on Outlaw Country Radio. I am a Grandmother in Ohio who usually listens to Christian Pop, but I have been head banging to this all night!
Saw these guys with Robert Plant and Allison Krauss. This song in particular caught my attention and has introduced me to a new jandra of music
Man, these guys just get better and better. Had the pleasure of seeing them in concert back in March, and even met them after the show. Supremely talented and damn nice people to be around. Going to try to make it to the release party... but if that doesn't pan out I'll still be buying the new album as soon as it's available.

🤣Got to love the fuzz!!!! I mean come on "!!😁 who doesn't like a little fuzz"""""✌️
Hidden gem, this should have a gazillion views 😊💜
I just love him and every word he sings, he's unique despite the comparisons.
When the drums kick back in 2m 7 secs 😍 eargasm!!
Yep. JD has pulled together one of the best bands I've ever heard. These guys are fantastic.
This music deserves to be on the charts not the shit up there now
JD is the best thing going.
Haven't heard this in awhile !! Still kicks ass and donkeys too !
I have been a fan for 2 years. I finally got to see them live at the MN state fair labor day weekend. Awesome live band. Love these guys! Real rock and roll!
This pleaser of a song gives me chills. EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for a simple man like myself.
"Proper Rock n Roll". Go see them play live- you won't regret it.
Just seen JD at the Nashville Boogie concert and he ROCKED!!
There more rock out there if you look for it. I made a playlist.
open.spotify.com/playlist/2I5OspkLmYwouGbbialMDq?si=M0JS1EbAQNKVa7H3l1bCfA
Seen him 3 times in the Netherlands. Hope to see him again soon!
Never miss him.
I feel you I was listening to his Christmas music didn't know anything else and all of a sudden this popped up I'm digging it I will definitely be at his show I love the fuzz 😅
Heck yeah! Awesome song, awesome video! Can't wait 'til the album comes out!
So well done! Thanks algorithms for finding this for me!
It does have a Black Keys feel to it, but it's original...and I'm diggin' it. Keep doing your thing, JD!
Yes, definitely Black Keys sound, but very good. I lke it!
I wonder if they have the same producer ?
I just said the same thing to my son! Spot on comparison.
Happy to see Jimmy's still holding down the low end!
can't wait for album! awesum rockin' tune from a band that knows rock n roll!
This new album is fire. I’ve probably played it now over 15 times almost non-stop. And this song is standout for sure. All songs are gems on the album.
Cannot wait to see yall in a few weeks....been waiting years
An absolute killer!!!!
❤️ this band!!
This is fricking groovy
I feel like a badass listening to this!

Dammit. I live right near there and just found out about him.
Cracking song! Teaching my 9 yo son the drum cover to it now. Keep knocking out the jams boys!
God I love this song
The drum sound is flawless
[Verse 1]
Jokers turn to Kings and diamonds to dust
I tried to beat the house but every hand was a bust
Another day ends, another begins
Another night sleeping on needles and pins
[Chorus]
I keep rolling where the bad wind blows
I keep running, but the trouble follows
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up
This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck
[Refrain]
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
[Verse 2]
My rusty old rings are coming undone
Fraying at the seams every mile that I run
Another bad move, another dead stop
Another wrong turn on the way to the top
[Chorus]
I keep rolling where the bad wind blows
I keep running, but the trouble follows
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up
This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck
[Refrain]
Bad luck
Bad luck
[Verse 3]
I've been playing to lose and dying to win
A compassionate heart without a dollar to lend
Deep in the red between the white lines
It's a long road ahead and a long one behind
[Chorus]
I keep rolling where the bad wind blows
I keep running, but the trouble follows
Ain't no telling where I'm gonna end up
This lucky penny's been nothing but bad luck
[Refrain]
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
I heard this song play the other day when I was shopping in Burlington, had to look this song up, it got me jamming!
That drum lick at 2:06... OH YEAH
Stretch Right? So very tasty, all of his licks!
Damm fine
This dudes skins are tuned perfect and he gave a lot for only having one tom-tom and one floor tom. Tasty is the right word. Nice to see someone who actually knows how to play instead of someone just beating the living shit out of them.
Great song "!!🌞Travis tritt's got an answer for you 🤔"""here's a quarter ""call someone who cares"!😜💥😂😂😂
I'm glad Stumptown brought me here
What a great jam! They were soooo good at Hinterland last year. I can't wait to see them again.
the fuzz box is badass
Reservation Dogs brought me here, loving this guys sound
Just hearing this on BBC Radio 4 (live) !!! LOVE IT. Attempted twice a Shazam to no avail .. please tend to that such that others may discover this fantastic song !! Love, Ash.

Just in time for my Halloween playlist. Totally love this song!
I find this song very relatable.
