Press Reviews Relix Magazine: Issue 26-02 -- March/April - 1999 ON THE EDGE by Mick Skidmore: I cant tell you much about singer-songwriter Bruce Donnola except that he writes pretty damn good songs. His album, Vaudeville, was produced by Jono Manson and also features instrumental support from members of 5 Chinese Brothers, Ian Wallace (Dylan, Stills etc.), Joe Flood, and a couple of Manson’s band members as well as Manson himself. The 14 cuts are a little meatier than what you would expect from your average guitar-toting singer/songwriter. The opening accordion-led Towards Alberta has an endearing roots feel, while Definition is reminiscent of The Band. Better still are the country-rock tones of Gratitude and the eloquent, folky Fedora, which has a country-bluegrass sound mixed with a slight Celtic twist.
