Interview - JD McPherson, Part 1

Roots rocker JD McPherson has just released his most ambitious album, "Undivided Heart & Soul," with touches of garage rock, soul and new wave. We talked with JD backstage before a show at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. He discusses his passion for early rock 'n' roll — and 90-minute drives to the closest record store while growing up in rural Oklahoma.
