“In 2006, NPR's Robin Hilton publicized a list of his ten Best Living Songwriters. Of course, he raises no eyebrows by starting with names like Dylan, McCartney, Springsteen, then cements his indie cred by including Vic Chesnutt, Stephin Merritt, and PJ Harvey. Hilton's list earned its notoriety by awarding the Number Ten slot to David Dondero. The itinerant songwriter has spent the ensuing years wearing that mixed blessing like an albatross,” writes Scott Foley of Routes and Notes.

David Dondero has been relentlessly touring and releasing his solo music since 1999.

In 2018 we reissued Dondero's second album Spider West Myshkin and a City Bus (from 1999) on vinyl for the first time ever. It's a double LP mastered for vinyl by Mike Vasquez. 

In July 2020 we reissued his 2003 classic The Transient on vinyl for the first time ever. Most of it was recorded by Mike Mogis and it was mastered for vinyl by Carl Saff.

His most recent album Immersion Therapy was released via Fluff & Gravy Records in 2023.
