JD McPherson and music collaborator/bassist Jimmy Sutton produce some of the most memorable retro rockabilly and R&B sounds we’ve heard in years. McPherson’s critically acclaimed debut album, Signs and Signifiers, is one of those discs that we just can’t stop listening to.

For our latest Twelve Days of Fretboard installment, McPherson stops by our offices to tell us a bit about his beloved parts Telecaster. We also get a great tune from the duo, their take on the Don and Dewey classic, “Farmer John.”
