Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517780538 Label: Lost Highway Manufacturer: Lost Highway MPN: 001158902 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Lost Highway Release Date: August 19, 2008 Studio: Lost Highway Editorial Review: Album Description: On Pass It Around, Donavon collaborates and injects new sounds in ways he had not attempted prior. "I definitely had a lot of ideas and it was fun putting trust in other people." One of those people was producer Joe Chiccarelli, who aside from being a multiple Grammy Award-winner, has worked with everyone from Frank Zappa to The Raconteurs to My Morning Jacket. Donavon also enlisted some of his dearest musician friends including, Ben Harper on the title track, and Philadelphia's most famous surfer G. Love, who adds harmonica on "Sing a Song." Collaborators can bring out a side of their creative partner that had previously been untapped. This was the case with Grant Lee Phillips and Frankenreiter on the track, "Mansions On The Sand." If there is one song on Pass It Around that is snapshot of Donavon's organic and non-contrived lifestyle, it is the opening track, "Life, Love and Laughter." "Don't look back it won't do any good/Don't look ahead you'll be misunderstood/Everything you need could be right in front of you." For Donavon that maybe packing up his family and going to a far flung destination or he could be lazing with them at home in Laguna Beach, as long as there's love in the room, he's there. With some old buddies, new compatriots and a new M.O., Donavon Frankenreiter is more than pleased with the music they made together. He concludes, "I feel this is the best body of work I've done. This is where I am now and where I've come from." Album Description: Pass It Around is Donavon Frankenreiter's 2008 release. Donavon Frankenreiter, from Downey, So. California, is a US musician and surfer. He is a long-time friend of Jack Johnson and his debut self-titled album was released in 2004 on Johnson's Brushfire Records through Universal Music and made the Australian ARIA Top-40 charts in April 2004.

 Rating:  - The Old is New AgainI enjoy listening to Donavon Frankenreiter for his laid back Jack Johnson clone style. Of the massive collection of Frankenreiter's library this album caught my immediate attention. The difference of "typical" DF material infused with late 1960's-70's tunes is genius. My brain was kick started and zoned into detail to lyrics, style, arrangements, influence and reason. Creatively and stylistically this is a successful departure from the norm. The album cover alone reminds me of wacky and loveable ... Read More Rating:  - AverageI think DF has a great singing voice. i have enjoyed his stuff from the very beginning. I got the live album he did at ABbey road. It was awesome. This one was a little bit of a let down from that. It has his same sound. Which is awesome if you love that sound. But after hearing how awesome he was live I was looking for something a little more. It was worth the purchase. Rating:  - More poetry; better musicThe album is great listening. With this album, the music is more complex and satisfying. The combination of electic and acoustic is much more expert than most, combining well into a different sound, rather than merely adding an element. As important, some of the lyrics are more mature and about more complicated subjects, than in some past albums. The songs are still those of a person who values happiness, but who is also concerned with the happiness of others. 'Life, Love and Laughter' is imoportant, ...

I can see myself sitting at the beach watching the waves rolling in, listening to his amazing new release and just getting lost in it. Heck, I can almost even see him on his surfboard singing to me as he glides through the water! Especially like Life, Love & Laughter, Come With Me, and Pass It Around. ... Read More Rating: - Evolution of DonavonDonavon Frankenreiter, a renowned surfer turned musician, who is hands down as talented on a guitar and mic., as he is on a surfboard, but Donavon's great acoustic styling's and mellow harmonies have always resembled the sounds of his great Friend Jack Johnson. In the making of this album Donavon took the experiences and wisdom gained along the way and evolved as an artist, Donavon put his heart and soul in creating and co-writing this album, in the quest of finding his musical identity. Not taking away his ... Read More |
