Reviews of "When I Look Back"

"Donna Ulisse has provided one of the great high-lonesome surprises of the new millennium%u2013a project that delivers a devastating emotional wallop. 'When I Look Back' is the kind of album a legendary artist delivers about ten albums down the road at the peak of their musical walk, not as their debut disc! Donna's songs are in a league of their own%u2013intelligently crafted, thoughtful, inspired and married to some truly interesting and memorable melodies. There's a level of depth to these songs seldom heard in the typical bluegrass bill of fare. Donna traverses a number of styles with aplomb and ease. As a singer she's soulful, lonesome, powerful, vulnerable and relentlessly engaging. The songs are creatively arranged and the production pristine. When this project hits CD bins, it's going to send shockwaves through the bluegrass community. There's a new singer in town that has it all! Unforgettable voice, killer songs and the ability to sing bluegrass the way it should be sung%u2013with passion, soul and just a little bit of country. Once Ralph Stanley serves his two terms as President, I'm voting for Donna!"
