Ready for the Radio, a ten-track release of all original tunes from singer-songwriter-guitarist Don Sparks, certainly has a few track candidates for radio airplay. The album was recorded live in one afternoon at Snoring Dog Studio in Cold Spring, New York, produced, engineered, and mixed by Rick Gedney. Accompanying Sparks’ lush guitar chording and nifty fingerpicking backdrop is Dan Bonis, whose musical footprint is omnipresent throughout on mandolin, dobro, and lap steel guitar.
Sparks’ songs take you on an eclectic lyrical and vocal journey, with well-crafted novelty tunes, upbeat rockers, and tender ballads that may remind you of some of the best, from Gordon Lightfoot to David Gates and from Arlo Guthrie to Kenny Rankin.
