   About Donna Hopkins Band
If you're familiar with the Donna Hopkins Band through live performances or her 2003 debut CD, Free to Go, then you already know she's worthy of attention. Otherwise, her Dynasonic CD release Live is a fine introduction.

Hopkins is legit: She's Alabama-bred, farm-raised in hard times. Her mom performed with rock bands in mini-skirts and go-go boots. Her grandfather's music was a tremendous inspiration.

Now in her early 40s, Hopkins has matured into a genuine triple threat as songwriter, singer and guitarist.

As a songwriter (she wrote or co-wrote all 11 tracks), Hopkins seasons swampy, Gulf Coast funkiness with angular voicings of extended and suspended chords. Listen for examples on "In Spite of Yourself" or "Don't Ask Why." It's classic tension-and-release with a groove and lyrics that reveal mileage, honesty and soul. It's survival music you can dance to.

The grooves come courtesy of bassist Michael Hurwitz and drummer Richie Jones, who are in the pocket throughout and add convincing harmony and backing vocals.

As a singer, Hopkins has a big, distinctive voice that effectively communicates varied emotions. The acoustic "Everything Money Can Buy" puts you on the front porch on a summer evening, right about dinnertime.

As a guitarist, Hopkins can be at turns raw and articulate. She's her own woman plus equal parts John Lee Hooker and Billy Gibbons, with a dash of Jimmie Vaughan and Robin Trower circa Bridge of Sighs. The bottom line: Live sounds great, thanks to Dynasonic Mobile, and is a well-focused snapshot of an artist who has plenty of talent and the courage to be herself. Georgia Music Magazine 06

DROPPING BY TO SAY THANX FOR BEING A FRIEND OF CRISS KARVER AND THE LUNACY MACHINE. ALSO, WANTED TO WISH YOU A FABULOUS DARK AND TWISTED WEEK!!!

HERE IS A PREVIEW FOR THE UPCOMING STORY 'OUIJA' WHICH IS ONE OF MANY TWISTED RHYMES INSIDE THE NEW LUNACY MACHINE. See more of it in my blog! Tell me what you think :)

OUIJA

Is there someone there? Is there someone there?
Come talk to us tonight.
We’re asking for the dead to speak,
It’s only us . . .my wife and me.
Come tell us how you died.

The oracle moved about the board
A figure-eight reply.
The oracle started slowing down, then stopped . . . above the Y.

Tell us more, tell us more, what brought you here to me?
Tell us how you died tonight.
Tell us when you died tonight.
Tell us what brings you here tonight.
Keep spelling it for me.

The figure eight continues and around the board it moves.
It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down.
Come, spirit, talk to me right now,
Tell us tonight, because we want to know . .
Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.

You’re coming in so very clear,
Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night.
Speak to me, speak to me,
Travel through this board to me.
Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb.
Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now.
Then the oracle stopped on the U.

Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn’t making sense.
You spelled out, YOU is this what you meant to do?
Then the oracle stopped on YES.

*COME BY AND VISIT ME AND PREVIEW SOME OTHER STORIES FROM THE LUNACY MACHINE, TWISTED TALES OF UNFORTUNATE TIMES 'R' in my blog section
SEE YA!!
