Hit: 5 Stars
why i've waited this long to finally check this cd out. i've seen it numerous Columbia House music newsletters and various other things. But i never really looked twice at it. Until recently i saw it and figured why not. It can't be any worse than a lot of the stuff out there now.
I gave it a couple listens and am really hooked on the cd from track to track, Donnie does what some have a hard time doing keeping folks interested throughout the whole cd.
He does that with excellent writing and touching more than a few different topics with being preachy or judgemental about the whole deal. He keeps it live and funky all the while being as soulful as any of the earlier Motown artists. Maybe folks saw the cd cover and didnt quite understand. But you really, really need to have this cd in your music collection. I firmly believe after a listen or two. You'll be feeling and enjoying this cd like so many others that already have it.
So check out "The Colored Section" no disappoints on the cd at all.
The Colored Section Poster
Atlanta singer-songwriter Donnie's Colored Section debut is uneasy listening of the highest order, as the album's title--referencing an ugly manifestation of racial prejudice--suggests. Donnie has a message; actually, he has a grocery list's worth. And he scatters them throughout his Southern-fried soul songs in blunt, riveting language. In a voice plainly reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, Donnie challenges notions of inequality, and while his words are sobering, he never loses sight of the groove. The horn-infused, swaggering "Big Black Buck" is pure New Orleans funeral march, while "Beautiful Me"--a razor-sharp pronouncement of individuality--builds on an almost gospel foundation, albeit one with a percussive spine. "Our New National Anthem" has a finger-snapping Philly-soul vibe, and while a reference to the impact of 9/11 seems, at this point, a bit like declaring the sky blue, it's a rare misstep in an otherwise fluid and funky debut. --Kim HughesR&B Music CDs
