"Beautiful tunes...devoid of transitory tredndiness."
F. Katheleen Foley, LOS ANGELES TIMES.

"UNPREDICTABLE...HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL."
Lovell Estell lll, LA Weekly

"Like. Man. It's like, Fingers, popping, and scattered, and like, hip, and cool, and beat. It's beat. You dig? The guitar and the other cats might be making their music independent of the WORDS, man, but like, it's the poetry that randomly drifts and grifts and chides and slides.

And you've never heard My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean sung with more feeling than Donald's own Bonnie God, that's sad. I thought I was sitting through Titanic again there for a minute.

However, my money is on the instrumentals of the cd like Blues For Betti. Improv or not, it's interesting, spontaneous jazz that experiments within free jazz confines (if that makes any sense).? Hollywood takes the blues feel and transforms it into words. Donald's world of vocalizing is the deep, lazy, rich sort. I can't tell if he's black or white, but the voice is colorblind."
review by Ben Omhart, Atn -Zone Magazine

"AN INSPIRATION."
Bill Frisell

  • D RULES
    author: George A. Romero

    Reviewer: George A. Romero Dr. D doesn't do shit for the fuck of it. He does shit from the heart. His heart, your heart. The amazing thing is that he can see and hear YOUR heart. He says things you've been wanting to say. And he makes you feel less of an asshole for wanting to say them. Because when he says them, they suddenly make sense. Validation, man. I'm not the only sucker on this planet. There's this other guy, D, who's been suckered in, too. And he's here to explain how, why, and what happened to us all. D rules! G. Romero
