Gregory Donovan - A reason to be cheerful
a WordPress rating system
Few artists can ever have had as good a reason for creating music as Greg Donovan offers: “Because the world can always use more reasons to smile.”
Well, Amen to that. And to prove the point, Greg has set himself to the task of crafting 12 beautiful slices of uplifting folk, rock and pop perfection for his debut album, the enigmatically-titled ‘It Burned a Hole. Then It Flew Away.’
The self-produced ‘It Burned A Hole.’ is that rare thing in today’s music world - a record on which you can hear its creator’s love for the music come through on every note, in every song and in every word he sings.Perhaps it’s because Greg, a med school graduate from Louisville, Kentucky, is not driven by the desire to achieve fame, stardom or to chase the money. He is someone genuinely doing what he loves both for himself and for the world at large. As he says, for him success is just someone loving his music.
One listen and you will hear what a special album he finally produced. A few more spins round the turntable and the depth and breadth of the man’s musical and songwriting talent shine through.
Growing up listening to the great songwriters of his early days like James Taylor, John Mayer, Sting, and Billy Joel helped make Greg the artist you can hear on ‘It Burned A Hole.’. As a boy he tried to emulate his heroes, but clearly he’s now found his own voice and become his own man.
Put simply, this is an album of uncommon beauty and honesty made by an artist who has a unique voice and is not afraid to use it.
‘It Burned A Hole.’ will stay with you for a long, long time.
