Album Notes

If you Love Acoustic Blues this cd is for you! If you don’t Donnie V might just change your mind!
This is Passionate Blues played with Raw Emotion! Singer Songwriter Donnie V continues to record live in studio on his follow up cd to Hard Rain Fall. With just acoustic and resonator guitars, harmonicas and the tapping of his boots. There are no overdubs or click tracks just great songs sung from the soul! His wife Leonetta joins in on tamborine on Wonderful Healer and I Have Decided which Mel Spinnela accompanies with mallet on bass drum. On Death Letter you can hear hand clapping by Leonetta, Mel and Mark Neil creating a sound reminiscent of the early Chain Gang recordings of Alan Lomax for The Library of Congress. Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around is complicated rhythms as Leonetta pounds a counter beat on the back of Donnie’s Guild Acoustic and Donnie slaps the Face if his 1930 National Resonator.
Donnie sings passionately about his own life’s sorrows and a lonely broken world searching for love. The love Found in Jesus!
The cd ends with a solo performance on electric guitar and harmonica. Tears is a song Donnie wrote in the 80’s about the loneliness and insecurities experienced by himself as well as so many others!
These are Songs with a Message to a Lost and Broken World. Jesus Loves You!!
