About the Album

Jerry Donahue and Susan Rey created this album to celebrate their long careers and collaborations together. Each song chosen for the CD is representative of their histories; Matty Groves and The Sea from Jerry’s work with British superstar Sandy Denny, Tired of Talkin’ and Xpect the Unexpected from his work with Gerry Rafferty and the Animals, respectively. Kennedy and Here I Am are their favorite works of local singer/songwriter Robert Heft. Long Road is an original by guitar great Gerry McGee of the Ventures who guest stars with his Rockabilly Hall of Fame guitar work. Does my Ring Burn Your Finger was picked to highlight Susan’s exceptional voice and the CD ends with a new and unforgettable arrangement of Bob Seger’s iconic Turn the Page. While this eclectic mix of songs covering 40 years of music spans multiple genres it has the distinctive vibe of Jerry Donahue's master string bending combined with Susan Rey's powerful vocals.
