Man On A Mission

'Man on a Mission' is the third CD from Don Arbor, a multi-talented singer, songwriter, and award-winning music video maker, combining great musicians with memorable, irresistible original songs and crystalline vocals, to provide a fresh, unique take on popular American music. This 2 CD set gives the music room to breathe. There's a 'mostly electric' CD, with catchy, hook-filled pop/rock, a splash of reggae, a dose of the blues, even some Green Day influence on the upbeat track, 'Diamonds and Botox.' The band is incredible -- Stef Burns from Huey Lewis and the News, on lead guitar, Curtis Ohlson on bass, from just about everywhere (Ray Charles, Booker T, Pete Escovedo, Branford Marsalis, and on and on), David K. Mathews on keyboards, from the Santana band, Marc Russo on sax from Tower of Power and the Doobie Brothers, and many more. The second CD is 'mostly acoustic,' featuring Don's pure vocals, backed by Grammy-nominated artists including Mike Marshall on mandolin and guitars, Barbara Higbie on violin and piano, and the SF quartet on a couple of beautiful string arrangements. Another mostly original CD, it also features outstanding covers of Don Henley's 'End of the Innocence' and Roy Orbison's 'Crying.' We loved recording 'Man on a Mission,' and we think you'll love listening to it!
