Early Memories [Remastered] - Daniel O'Donnell

Advantages: If you love 60s music you will love this
Disadvantages: Well my husband would say "Daniel O'Donnell" but ...

...Hang on dont pass by just because it is Daniel O'Donnell. If I tell you my Adult children even asked me what am I playing instead of their normal comment of "oh Mum turn that off and have some decent music on" and didnt tell me to turn it off you will have guessed that this is one of the better Deniel O'Dolnnell cds in fact I think it is his best. It is called the Jukebox Years and says it is 20 miore Blue Jeans Classics but I must admit that I remember different singing artist singing most of the records and you will probably remember a more modern singer singing them as most are now coming around again as my family knew most of them as I do..

...Daniel O'Donnell for a long time has been one of my top preforming artists.. I just simply love his clean fresh approach to the music world,, this man has all the qualities of a very genuine classic singer, his style, his clean strong but gentle voice and his love he has for his audience.
