    and my Digital Audio CD "Waiting for The Thunder" at Home Made Music

    Here's a review of my CD in VICTORY REVIEW - Acoustic Music Review Magazine NOVEMBER 2002 [www.victorymusic.org} CAL DONNOLLEY: WAITING FOR THE THUNDER "You just get things done, one by one/ Keep doing it day after day/ And once you get things done/ One by one, you can put all your troubles away." This isn't the most challenging philosophy ever translated into song, yet there is a kicked-back sort of charm to it, maybe a Chuck Pyle meets Jimmy Buffett sort of thing. Donnolley's sources are all over the map, though. A familiar little jazz riff in "Any Other Day"; a familiar country wail in "Ah-ha! Oh yeah!"; some Johnny Horton in "Million Dollar Smile"; countrified Chuck Berry in "Ring My Bell"; Levon Helm in "One Step Closer"; kind of a "Boney Maroney" vibe in Turpentine"; the mildly Beatlesque/Mac Davis groove of "The End"; and so it goes through the remaining tracks. But rather than feeling put off by the familiarity of the songs, the listener is given a bounty of welcome references, all treated with casual but loving respect. Donnolley doesn't knock us out of our seats with his voice or playing. There are no pretensions here. His liner notes say, for example, "Recorded 2001 and 2002 at various locations. Engineered and mixed by everybody. Produced by no one in particular." Not an outrageously serious effort, the CD nonetheless makes a nice companion for a rainy afternoon. Somehow, though, I end up wanting just a bit more - which is to say that there is potential here that hasn't yet been realized. [Bill Fisher]
