Recently, McDonald performed single “Find It In Your Heart” on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon;” watch/share the performance at http://bit.ly/2BHNGQ0. He was also featured on CBS “Sunday Morning” in the wake of the album’s release; watch/share the segment at http://cbsn.ws/2yTgJdN.
Wide Open follows a trio of albums of R&B and soul covers McDonald recorded for the fabled Motown label, the most recent being 2008’s Soul Speak. Wide Open is McDonald’s first album of original material in 17 years, comprised largely of material written over a number of years in-between projects and recorded in his Nashville studio with drummer Shannon Forrest (Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Toto) and an extensive cast of Nashville session musicians.
Keeping with the younger crop of artists, McDonald collaborated with bassist Thundercat and Kenny Loggins on the hit single “Show You The Way” which the trio performed on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” as well. Watch/share the performance of the track from Thundercat’s critically acclaimed album Drunk at https://youtu.be/x8AgdI4eyFc.
