I'm reminded (only in some ways) of music I've heard my musical partner Kramtones do, especially his solo works.... but, Donald definitely has his own style, & it's indeed pleasant to hear. It doesn't fit (well) into any "category"... snatches of jazz, with leanings towards th' cosmic & universal. In today's environment of "homemade" musical adventure, Mr. King has a light that shines most brightly; in fact, that's the keyword that comes to mind as I listen to th' track named "Olivia"... this is "illuminated" music. "Olivia" is my favorite track... nice percussion undercarriage, solid bass lines, great woodwind sounds... all woven into a (really) solid composition that reminds the listener of th' good times, not all th' junk these politicos try & bring us down with, or useless & unspirited claptrap from th' majors. I would caution Donald that th' album covers need a bit more work.... for instance, I'd really like to see a musician/instrument list somewhere, & adding the track titles on th' CD insert itself would go a long way... yah, it takes a bit more time for th' production, but it's necessary. Having produced a lot of music myself, I know that (especially in my early tape days) this is something that often gets overlooked. Music this good deserves a little more packaging focus, though. Don't let that stop you from going to his site, though, at www.dlkmusic.com/ & downloading a few samples... Donald's music needs to be heard, & gets a HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED for listeners who aren't afraid to explore something just a bit different! You can also purchase the CD at www.cdbaby.com/cd/dlk A really nice 15-song CD. We're looking forward to reviewing more from Donald!    Rotcod Zzaj
