Unfortunately I’ll never have the opportunity to hear Donny perform, but thankfully a recent record digging trip helped me to uncover some of his live musical magic. These Songs For You Live has a version of one of my favorite tunes, Valdez in the Country, but this version recorded in New York in 1973 is jazzier and funkier. Enjoy!
