Lori Donato's artistry is graced with urbane sophistication, sly wit and an incandescent musicality. The glamorous songstress, who has entertained audiences worldwide, now presents a well-stamped musical passport with THE ROAD AIN'T NO PLACE FOR A LADY, 12 songs that map a journey from her heart.As Donato wraps her lustrous vocals around these songs the miles move to the rhythms. Donato's self-penned title track says best: "The road ain't no place for a lady?The road ain't no place to be?But girls I plan to be a lady?No matter what the road does to me." From the smoky strains of Willie Nelson's classic "Night Life," which introduces the suite to the hushed intimacy of "In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning," and finally the empowerment of "I've Never Been to Me," these lyrics provide a endearing text of roads traveled, songs sung, souls touched.
