REVIEW
by Bob Gottlieb
Donnie Fritts is a name you probably don't know unless you look for well-crafted songs, which he has been writing in collaboration with some of the finest in Muscle Shoals and Nashville for quite a long stretch of time. Luminaries such as Waylon and Willie, Kris Kristofferson, Tony Joe White, John Prine, and more have come forward to help him put out this disc. Fritts' voice is not his strength, but with the likes of those mentioned above, plus other voices such as Lucinda Williams and Delbert McClinton, there is more than adequate support, and his voice does eventually grow on you. Outstanding players such as Mike Utley, Lee Roy Parnell, Stephen Bruton, and Clayton Ivey contribute strong musical backing as well. This isn't an official tribute disc, but it definitely is a fitting tribute to the esteem in which Donnie Fritts is held.
