Take a look at the "reviews" section. "Under The Rushes" got a nice little mention by Robert K. Oermann in Music Row Magazine. Mr. Oermann is a respected music critic, author, and historian. I am most appreciative of the kind words!

Giving Up

There's a saying among music makers: "you never really finish a record, you just give up on it." And folks, that time has come. The order for cd duplication was placed Tuesday. We are looking at a possible July 1st release date. Check back for more preview tracks to be added.

CDs will be available through CD Baby, Amazon, and this website. Downloads will be available through iTunes and Digstation. Check back for links!

Love Is Deaf II

A word from The Nashville Scene about tonight's show, which Tom & I are happy to be a part of:

An instant Nashville tradition on arrival last year, this irresistible night of atonal amour is a couples-only affair onstage, as more than two dozen Nashville musicians and their musician-or-not significant others team up to sing duets — which last year meant anything from Laurie George & Dan Baird doing “You Don’t Miss Your Water” to hosts Anna & Michael Webb proving the world hasn’t had enough of “Silly Love Songs.” This year’s songs are still hush-hush — although we understand Helen Stevens & Bill DeMain plan to leave us in XTC — but couples so far include Andrea Barrett & Jason White, Kristi Rose & Fats Kaplin, Jill & Billy Block, Charlotte & Peter Cooper, and Sabine Schlunk & JJ Jones. Best of all, there’s no cover — proof that somebody up there loves ya.

Even more love for "Love My Way"

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Thanks to Steve McIntyre at http://coverfreak.com for posting my song and some complimentary tri-syllabic adjectives to boot! Here's what he had to say:

Donna Beasley “Love My Way” (Psychedelic Furs)
This song never really did much for me, what with the monotonous buzzing of those synthesizers and of the singer’s voice. “Languorous” isn’t a word I often use to describe the music of the Psychedelic Furs, but Donna Beasley infuses the song with an exquisite sense of languor.
