Our Take

JD Meatyard's latest album, "Taking The Asylum," is a sonic journey through the madhouse of his mind, filled with quirky melodies and eccentric instrumentation that keep listeners on their toes from start to finish. Meatyard's distinctive voice shines through in tracks like "Whatever Happened To The Paxton Boys?" and "Proud Man," where his deadpan delivery is both arresting and amusing.

The album's production is raw and unpolished, giving it a charming DIY feel that adds to its charm. It's clear that Meatyard isn't aiming for perfection here, but rather for authenticity and honesty in his music. The result is a refreshing departure from the overproduced, cookie-cutter pop that dominates the airwaves.

Tracks like "The Will" and "Before the Rothschilds Came" showcase Meatyard's songwriting prowess, with clever lyrics that offer a glimpse into his unique perspective on the world. His ability to blend introspective storytelling with catchy hooks is truly a testament to his talent as a musician.

Overall, "Taking The Asylum" is a delightful romp through the mind of JD Meatyard, a truly one-of-a-kind artist who isn't afraid to march to the beat of his own drum. With its infectious energy and off-kilter charm, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who dares to take the plunge into Meatyard's musical universe.
