Donnie Miller – One Of The Boys 1989 (Melodic Rock/AOR) USA
“Me and You” is total Eddie Money, a pleasant exercise in mid-tempo textbook AOR. On other places like “Normal Guy (I Want Sex)” and “You Can’t Stop Emotion”, the Tommy Shaw influence is firmly felt. (Tommy sings and wrote on this release.) If you like Tommy Shaw’s solo work, this LP is highly recommended!

THIS IS ONE KILLER ALBUM. ONE OF THE BEST ROCK TUNES OF THE 80s IS THE DEVIL WEARS LINGERIE.

This is the greatest! You must buy this album! Please but this!

I always thought that the album was cool. The only reason that it didn’t go big in my opinion is because it was released at the tail end of an era when music used to be cool, and you had to actually be able to know how to play and sing.

This album is contains two cracking tracks – ‘Welcome Home’ a mid-paced rocker with superb intro and ‘Normal Guy’ which has got great throw away lyrics!

Only album recorded by this talented singer after that he vanished…shame coz this album offers good songs (maybe this album didn’t fit into the beginning of the new era,the 90s as the 80s were fading away…)anyway songs such as “The Devil Wears Lingerie”(with that particular beat)”Me & You”(wonderful mid tempo ballad),”One Of The Boys” and “Normal Guy (I Want Sex)” are worth in every aspect..

Donnie left Coffeyville in 1978 with a band called “Leotus and the Unknowns” whose members included Dick Smith, Bill Butler and Tommy York (son of Bob York from Rodney Lay’s band). They toured the midwest, averaging 250 dates a year or so, until Donnie had the opportunity to audition for Steve Walsh of “Kansas”, who was forming “Streets”. When Miller didn’t get the job, he decided to put his own band together in 1981 called “Donnie and The Rock” whose members included Michael Edmunds from “Mornigstar”. “Donnie and The Rock” soon signed a personal management contract with Chris Fritz of New West productions. Fritz got the band opening act status with everyone from Wolfman Jack to W.A.S.P. and in 1985, the entire U.S. summer tour with The Kinks. In 1987, Miller signed an 8 album deal with CBS records as a solo artist, thanks to producer Lennie Petze (signed Boston, Cheap Trick, Molly Hatchet and Cyndi Lauper all to their first deals). His first album “One of the Boys” was released in 1990 to critical acclaim, and featured guest appearances by Cyndi Lauper and Tommy Shaw (Styx). After a devastating injury to the palm of his left hand in 1992, Donnie was sidelined for a year, and began playing Blues music as a means of therapy, re-learning his instrument all over again. It saved both his life and career.
Back on the road again by 1993, Donnie eventually moved to his current home base of Nashville in 2000, from which he now tours all over the country.
Donnie Miller has released four more albums since the first one.
