Album Notes

Butterfly Effect is the newest musical project by DonnaLynn, the folk duo of Donna Lynn Davis and husband Terry. The songs on this recording will take you to Maui in the West, and to the East where both Gandhi and His Holiness the Dalai Lama inspire songs. They will take you to a past where a long ago kiss still lingers, and where guys took their gals on dates to roadster shows. Influences of favorite Beatles tunes are heard, with Ringo’s call for peace and love alongside the sitar, a George Harrison legacy in the DonnaLynn world.

Influenced by many of the folk greats, from Peter, Paul and Mary to Joni Mitchell to Buffy Sainte-Marie, Donna has developed her own style, with a touch of gospel and a hint of country. The mix includes an unmistakable voice, a passionate heart, crisp acoustic guitar, Terry accompanying, and good friends who like to join in.

“Our hope is that these songs spread a message of peace, love and human understanding to all who listen,” says Donna, “If the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can cause great change long distances away, we hope our Butterfly Effect will cause ripples for peace love and human understanding, far and wide.”
