notes

Roots and Wings, is an homage to family relationships and the bonds that exist between loved ones. This Special Edition EP was released in reponse to the demand for the song "The Gift," which is a personal thank-you to parents everywhere from their children. The five songs that comprise this CD are singular in theme, yet come from a variety of sources. Including the song "Back To You," which is taken from the words of a poem written in 1944, by a seventeen-year old girl to her beau on the event of his leaving to fight in WW II. Though the words are written from a 1944 perpective, they are equally applicable to today's soldier.

*Includes two bonus tracks from Dan May's next CD, due to be released in 2006.

  • A terrific collection of soulful songs
    author: Bob Braeunig

    This CD is a great collection of touching and heartwarming songs that brings a tear to even my eye ...and I’m cold and heartless. :-) The only thing that would make this CD better is if it had been released late enough to include the song "One More Time" from Dan’s "Fate Said Nevermind" CD.

  • Roots and Wings has not left my CD player since it arrived.
    author: Topper (Becky Koppel)

    Roots and Wings is the perfect title for this CD by Dan May. While listening to the songs, I find myself remembering my own roots, and the wings with which I have taken many tours of life that always bring me back home. So many of the situations that Dan sings about on this CD touch home with me. I listen with longing, with tears, and with hope. Thank you for bringing all those feelings to the surface. It is truly a gift.

  • The Gift, Back To You and Fate Said Nevermind as rendered here will live in your
    author: Dave Hillier

    I purchased this EP after having been in the audience of an exceptional performance by Dan and his band. I knew I had to be able to hear Dan's FATE SAID NEVERMIND again and often. That was a while ago and this EP has yet to leave my CD player and I can't see that it will. The truth spoken here is rare,Dan's voice is a glorious instrument he plays with great accomplishment, and the mix of music and lyric content intrege and evocatively unfold with each listen.

  • This CD is wonderful.
    author: Debbie Palmer

    The words and music on this CD are absolutely wonderful. I can picture in my mind what the artist is singing about.

  • Songs of life, Songs of the hearts, Songs of my life
    author: Don "FatherGoose"

    I am a father, I am a son (parents are both gone), I been a soldier far from home, I been on the top of the world and on the bottom. Dan May's song are real.. They are Songs of life, Songs of the hearts, Songs of my life. 'The Gift' were the words I was looking for when my father was dying.
