Donna was invited in to the WSM studios on August 29, 2011 for the morning show Coffee, Country and Cody with Bill Cody and Charlie Mattos to talk about her trip to Russia and play some songs off the new CD "An Easy Climb".
Donna and The Poor Mountain Boys took bluegrass to Russia and brought home hearts full of fond memories and newfound friends and fans. They performed at four different festivals in two different parts of the country at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy.
"An Easy Climb" made a strong showing at #12 in the July 2011 Euro-Americana chart which is compiled from airplay reports submitted by DJS from several European countries. It is an album chart.
