DONNA CUNNINGHAM – Don’t Tell Me That You’re Gone A Satisfied Me
I received two ‘one’ song CD’s from Century II
Records, Nashville, featuring a stunningly beautiful country singer,
Donna Cunningham. Beautiful in voice, and beautiful in person. This
fairly new way to get the ‘best’ of CD recording sessions into the hands
of DJ’s is working for Century II Records. In America, music is pretty
much a bought and paid for ‘business.’ In Europe it is quite
different. They still have radio stations that play what the DJ’s want
to play, and they are not ruled by some inaccurate billboard rating
system, which is also bought and paid for in America. Rather, they play
what they like, no matter who recorded it. Both Donna Cunningham and
Allen Karl have began to use this ‘system’ to get their best music in
front of the DJ’s that count, especially in Europe.

These two Cunningham songs are both incredibly well
done, both of them produced by Marty Martel. Utilizing the same
musicians at both sessions certainly paid off. Mike Shrimpf on keyboard
and harp; Mike Baker on lead and rhythm guitar; Dave Roe on bass; Mark
Beckett on drums; Tommy White on steel guitar; and David Russell on
fiddle. Martel knows what he’s looking for in the studio, and they all
‘produce’ for him, especially the lovely voice of Donna Cunningham.

These two songs are quite different in style, content,
and production, but they both represent aspects of country music as it
has been known in the past as the ‘real deal’ and so is Donna
Cunningham.
