From the acclaimed songwriting troubadour David Dondero comes Simple Love, the follow up to his critically lauded 2005 release, South of the South. Few songwriters have experienced and expressed the sinking depths and uplifting optimism of humanity like David Dondero, and his ability to shine a light on the human condition (his own included) is inspiring. Dondero is best known for his narrative tales of America. Having spent most of his life on the road, Dave uses his staggering lyrical talent to paint tales of life in the US of A through clever word play and sarcastic humor (as represented in the album title) about some of life's most sensitive subjects. Simple Love is a poignant collection of songs woven with sentimentality, contempt, humor, and lust. Simple Love was recorded and produced by Mike Vasquez in Austin, TX at Sweatbox Studios immediately after the original Sweatbox was burned to the ground. Ringing in the new and celebrating the old, David recruited long-time friend Craig D, Dave's drummer and tour companion, as well as some of Austin's best local musicians to accompany him during the sessions. Recorded on tape with minimal overdubs, the record features many new songs and a handful of unreleased tracks.

Lone Rose, used to call me the High Plains Drifter, Lone Rose, I'll take a lonely ride, Lone Rose, couldn't help but crying, heard about you dying, least I know it wasn't suicide, 'cause I know you didn't want to die. Although you fell out of a window just about a year ago, some say it was intentional but no one really knows, I'm waiting on the subway, a rat runs across my shoe, there's a woman on the platform over, looks almost like you. Lone Rose, used to call me the Rollin' Rambler, Lone Rose, I'll take the lonely ride, Lone Rose, couldn't help but crying, heard about you dying, least I know it wasn't suicide: I know you kinda didn't want to die. You left behind a couple letters you never sent to me: I kept switching my address so you just let it be. Don't need to ask the coroner to find out what had happened, was the stupid deadly mixture of cocaine and heroin. Lone Rose, used to call me the High Plains Drifter, Lone Rose, I'll take the lonely .... + Informações
