Fresh off being named one of the top 10 living songwriters by NPR in 2006--sharing the list with the likes of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits--and being constantly name checked by his label boss, Conor Oberst, as his main influence, David Dondero dropped SIMPLE LOVE, a decidedly more upbeat affair than the Bukowski-esque downer masterpiece SOUTH OF THE SOUTH. The songs have more fleshed-out instrumentation, light rootsy arrangements, and bright tempos, which sometimes belie the dark nature of the lyrics, where battles between fleeting pleasures and lasting pains: minor victories and disastrous failures are perpetual. Another classic by a man who seemingly spits out great songs at will.
