Even if this guy WASN'T an Okie, I would still think this is the BEST music around!

[@joncaddy]

When my daughter was two years old she would dance (in her own way) around the room when ever I played 'Let the good times Roll' and ignore most other music. Now, 2 years later she can't sit still when 'Scratchin Circles' is played. That girl has great taste in music. 👍

[@Tonetwisters]

She a-parently gets it honestly ...

[@ComicallyAbsurdFilms]

I wish more bands nowadays sounded like these guys.

[@dickdunn4847]

My world has been markedly improved since finding JD and the boys! Love it!

[@dewz440]

Wow!! J D's Rockabilly has a style that rocks yur soul.

[@clairedubery1056]

Woah, so, so awesome!!!❤❤❤❤

[@mcmcorti]

You cannot listen to this and be in a bad mood when it's over. No way.

[@frankie3041]

I love this song. Love it. Have the album. Play it all the time. Played this song a hundred times maybe. Play it for friends and family. Love it. Love it. Did I mention that I love it? Well, I do! BUT…… … how on God’s green Earth do some of the people in the audience just stand there unmoved? How do some only clap their hands? How do some of the livelier ones only sway or bop a little bit? How do they not dance like crazy MFs to this dance-like-crazy toe-tappin’ rock ‘n’ roll song? Their grandparents would be amazed at their lack of exhilarative joy and passion upon hearing this music. Their grandparents back in their day would be swingin’ like mad in a rock ‘n’ roll frenzy ACTUALLY scratching’ circles into that ol’ dance floor. There’d be so many scratches, and those scratches would be so deep, that that darn floor would have to replaced the very next day! So be like your grandparents, kids! Show some verve. Get some gusto. Have some vigour, some pep, some dynamism, some zest, some fire! Now that’s what I’m talking about!!!

[@barneyboyle6933]

I love the song as much as you do. I play multiple instruments. I compose my own music. I walk around my house singing all the time. But I don’t dance. I just don’t. I’ll go to a show like this and just sorta rock in place and maybe tap my foot. When the song is over I’ll cheer and clap. I won’t dance though. It’s just not for me

[@wildmichigan]

These cats have an amazing groove! This is the fourth video in a row I have watched. Gonna hit the record shop tomorrow and see if I can grab a disc!

[@lilylenoir]

Great song and I love JD and the band.. although one would figure, given the spirit of the song that the audience would be dancing up a storm, not standing there and nodding along... If I'd have been there, I would have torn up the dance floor!!!

[@rosecoughlin2816]

[@SaraCityLopez]

Good lawd fellas. Always amazing.

[@madeinnetwork]

If you don't want to dance when you hear this, that's fine, but you're wrong.

[@ubskitech]

Made In Network If you don't want to dance to this, then you're dead, but don't know it yet!

[@eddie054]

Definite dance. Whats wrong with these people?

[@BROKENTEETH-55515]

The blues had a baby, they called it Rock & Roll...Little Richard said that.

[@RJPayne]

I met you earlier this year in Santa Ana Cali, You kicked ass! but I only got Jimmy's autograph on my vinyl, you better come back soon!

[@danburi2859]

Cool stuff

[@TheM2heavy]

go man go !

[@elvisthunders3529]

This song is in the tradition of 'Down the Road Apiece' and 'House of Blue Lights'- a celebration of the juke joint. Nobody has recorded a better rock-n-roll song than this in decades.

[@bigs50s]

Authentic

[@herrfiebig]

It´s a HAMMER!

[@casey3martin]

AMAZING

[@whotoinfinity]

[@ilikebeerme]

Fantastic, new old music. I'm hooked

[@Mandy.Corcoran]

Nice job, boys! :)

[@Redled_Original]

Awesome Stuff! Krasses Zeug!

[@62rockab]

monstreux !!!!

[@Meteor62x2]

If it was like when we saw him in Cleveland, and the situation looks the same, the place was so overly packed with a huge crowd there was NO room to dance. We were packed in like sardines. No joke.

[@joelsimms4636]

First time l saw Little Richard on the Steve Allen show about 59 l lost my mind.! Brings back some fond memories!

[@johnsnooks1874]

Great voice,great players.

[@sup393]

[@casey3martin]

@lilylenoir we were dancing. Trust me!

[@bettybulle6150]

yeah !!!! :D

[@pjriverdale8461]

Great song. Great artist. Great sound. PROBLEM- Listen to "Three Thirty Three" by The Drifters elsewhere on YT. Very,uh,the same in the verses. You decide.

[@MrDblStop]

There's a similarity, but everything is influenced by something. And as much as I like the Drifters, if I had to choose I know which one I'd rather listen to.

[@frankbrenner4852]

MrDblStop ...that right. I don't hear that tune as much as I hear Louie Prima and Lloyd Price and Louis Jordan...It's derivative for sure, but god damn if he doesn't capture the feel...

[@elvisthunders3529]

Yeah, JD most likely wrote that song as a re-write of 333. But it is nowhere near a problem and far more egregious examples would number in the thousands. A lot of people think that Rocket 88 was the first rock-n-roll song but it was just a re-write of Cadillac Boogie from a few years earlier. All of the top 1950s artists including the ones known for writing songs like Buddy Holly Chuck Berry and Little Richard did covers and they all also wrote songs that had more in common with older songs than Scratching Circles has with 333. Johnny B Goode guitar solo was lifted straight from Goree Carter's Rock Awhile. LET'S GET HIM CHUCK BERRY STOLE THAT LICK! nah just kidding it's all good

[@jamesmoses4986]

he hotter than....................!!

[@shesdwellingwithin]

Fuck yeah!

[@N0R4N3]

do Oklahomies not dance or what?

[@wiggawithattitude]

always think its weird when people stand around the stage like a pop concert for rock n roll bands when they should clearly be dancing.

[@elvisthunders3529]

They're probably dancing in the back of the ballroom. That's how it was when I saw JD back around 2010.

[@shikaored]

2019

[@underpants1965]

This is music! Now go tell those brainwashed minors that One Dimension are finished.

[@philbrowning7954]

great song . see jd mcpherson last night in London performing mostly new stuff which was complete dog shit and consisted of one throw away song after another ! sounded like american 80's college rock totally dismissing what he does best, dont be surprised if he's got shoulder length hair john lennon sunglasses and a star shaped guitar next time they tour !

[@dawnmarie8550]

He needs to marry me lol

[@thefuzzboxx1018]

Its good but he over sings alot..

[@teanok]

love this song
