Do you sing only gospel hymns?

Hello Bella,
Thank you for the question! I have two gospel albums of mostly songs I have written. (Holy Waters & I Am A Child of God are the album titles. The only true hymn I have recorded is This Is My Father's World. I also have a Christmas album of all songs I wrote telling the story of Christ's birth from the perspective of each of the characters involved in the story. It is called ALL THE WAY TO BETHLEHEM. All of my other albums are of secular song, many that I wrote as well as some old country and bluegrass classics you might recognize. There is a link to all of my music on my website at http://www.donnaulisse.com Thanks so much! Donna

HI Donna, my husband and I just got home from seeing your show in Kendalville, In . We listened to your All the Way To Bethelhem CD on the way home a couple times. It's very beautiful! A true work of art and a blessing. We especially enjoyed the way the stories intertwined with the instruments and your beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing Gods word with so many. We live in Valparaiso, IN and the drive was more than worth it . You and I spoke briefly as I was purchasing your CD and you so graciously autographed for me. I'm the appendix cancer survivor that spoke with you about 5 years ago, the one who was told she had 3 months to live 10 years ago and yet here I am still. I've been a nurse for twenty years. We look forward to seeing you and The Poor Mountain Boys soon.

Hi Suzy, Thank you so much for this sweet message. I am so glad you enjoyed the Christmas album. I feel it is one of the best things I have ever written .I believe I must have had some heavenly help because the thought of trying to tell the greatest story ever told in some kind of fresh way was quite an undertaking. I did a lot of research on it and spent many hours on the phone consulting with my uncle who is a theologian. This year The Poor Mountain Boys and I have some shows booked where we will perform the album from start to finish. The band members will read the scripture that inspired each song and then I will share some of my thoughts and give insights to how I approached the characters in each song. We are doing one of the shows in Rockville, IN on Dec. 2 which is as close as we will be to you but I hope you can make it. I remember speaking with you and am so glad to hear from you. We had a blast playing Kendalville and hope they will have us back in the future. Peace, Donna

How can I get the lyrics for All the way to Bethlehem? Ilove the music and the message, but my hearing does not allow me to understand all the words on some of the songs. Thanks I also have Showing my roots and Hard cry moon, they are great.

There is a songbook that is available through Amazon.com with all the words and the chords and music. I also included more information on the inspiration for each song and my thought process when writing it and it has photos of me and all of my co-writers. I think you might enjoy the whole book. Thanks and I am so glad you like my music! Peace, Donna

love your music wonder woman donna...take care,stay safe.

still look like wonder woman donna to me really missed you these last few years.love your music.

awwww thank you my friend. Here's hoping we do get to see you sometime this year!

Enjoyed meeting you all through Roland last Fri. night in Flagler Beach. Sorry I had to miss Sat. night performance, but I am enjoying the CD! Looking forward to you being back in April--let me know when, if possible.

It was great meeting you too and I am so glad you are enjoying the CD! We'll be back down there around the end of April for my birthday....if all goes as planned! :) Say hi to Roland for us!

We met Donna when Rick and her were singing at the County Line in Virginia Beach in the 1980's. We were travelling through Nashville and saw they were playing at a club in Nashville in the 1990's. We asked Rick to sing "Mama, don't let your babys grow up to be cowboys". We always felt they had the talent to make it big. It was a pleasure to hear her on Bluegrass Junction. We love her new album and waiting for the next one. She was like a rose bud waiting for the right time and place to bloom and now she has blossomed (Sounds like a good song title). We are too old to travel any more but hope to join them in Dinwiddie, VA in June. God bless her and Rick. She should write a book or make a movie. Loretta Lynn has nothing on her. God bless her and Rick. Ruth and Glenn Johnson, Virginia Beach, VA

Thank you for this wonderful message! It is so nice to be remembered from my early days of performing in the Virginia Beach area with Rick and look at us...we are still making music together and loving every minute of it! I hope we do get to see you in June at the Dinwiddie, VA festival! And thank you for tuning in to hear me on Bluegrass Junction. Peace, Donna
