    Musician
    As a musician and songwriter, he was greatly influenced in his formative years by fellow Texan and
    rock and roll

    Roy Orbison
    . His first recordings were with local group "The Cinders" who traveled to nearby
    Norman Petty
    Studios in Clovis, NM. Their first 45 was released on the tiny RIC label in 1965, then
    Norman Petty
    successfully shopped their recordings to Warner Brothers for a 2nd single release as "John David and The Cinders" in 1966. After moving to Los Angeles County, California in the late 1960s, Souther met musician and songwriter
    Glenn Frey
    . The two musicians became roommates and musical collaborators. Souther and Frey formed a folk duo called
    Longbranch Pennywhistle
    .
    Their lone album
