About Me

My first CD, "Perry McDonald" was released on Illegible records in the Spring of 2006. As with most musicians, the first CD is a nightmare and a dream come true. This was the case for me as well. The music took 3 times the amount of time to record as it should have because I was learning as I went along. A huge amount of gratitude goes out to Randell Carlson for showing me how to multi-track. Through Randell I met Eric Blades, President of Illegible Records. Eric was and is very encouraging. I might not have finished the album yet, had it not been for him. Through Eric, I met Nicole Good Pierce, Chara Love, "Ghetto Gas" John Overholt, and Mike "Medicine Crow" Iott. Chara and Nicole sang on my song "I Love You". Mike and John joined me in the video version of "Intolerance".Back in the early 1970's I was in a Jesus/Rock band called "Third Day". Frank Thomas and Lynn Dobbins were in that band. They joined me to play on my song "Long Way Without You". Frank also plays on "1956".Matt Mitchell plays guitar, Randell Carlson plays bass, Shelly Garyet and Patsey Hammontree sing "Intolerance".This is a CD/DVD set. There are 12 songs on the CD and 6 videos on the DVD.On the CD: 1. Journey Through Life 2. Back When Our Love Was Young and Strong 3. 1956 4. Intolerance 5. Nothing Else 6. I Love You 7. The Way Home (Down in the Undertow) 8. Long Way Without You 9. Train Song 10. Sarah and Jessica 11. Song For the Pepsi Generation 12. Run For Your LifeOn the DVD: 1. Intro 2. Old Friend Live) 3. Intolerance (With the Ghetto Gas Blasters) 4. The Way Home (Down in the Undertow) 5. Long Way Without You (Live) 6. Intolerance (Riprise)I haven't sold out of this CD/DVD set yet. When I do, I'm not sure if we'll do a "reissue" or not. If we do, it won't have the DVD with it.I'm about 1/2 way done with a follow up album that I'm really excited about. But I sure would like to sell off the rest of this first one. If you're interested, please message me or click on one of those "Buy my CD" thingies I've got floating around here. The cost is just $10 If you'll buy more than one, message me and I'll even take care of the postage!My profile has been abused with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 All of my videos were done by DAVID COLLINSClick here to buy my CD "Harder Everyday"...
