"I have been listening to Rod MacDonald ever since hearing him sing "Coming of the Snow" on a compilation disc. I was impressed by the vocals and lyrics on Rod's ensuing releases. Recognition takes those talents a step further, displaying polished guitar playing and cutting lyrics true to the likes of great folk artists. Rod wittingly comments on people and ideologies, ranging from Vincent Van Gogh (Dr. Gachet) to the terrorists who flew into the WTC. (My Neighbors in DelRay) Rod's songs are powerful and compelling, tied together by an exceptional voice, his use of the harmonica and a tightly knit band. Any true folk lover who listens to these seventeen songs will agree it is indeed time for this talented person to receive his due recognition."
