“Undo The Damage”

Undo The Damage is Rod MacDonald's 15th solo album featuring 15 original songs including eleven new compositions and four songs not previously released on any previous studio albums.

A Personal Message from Stephen Powers

Rod MacDonald’s essential new album is relevant for everyone, and especially meaningful for me!  Here’s why:

Back in 1986, I had the honor of co-producing and releasing Rod MacDonald’s first 2 albums, “No Commercial Traffic” and his acclaimed followup, “White Buffalo” on my label, Mountain Railroad Records. Fortunate for me, Rod became a lifelong friend—he sang “Every Living Thing”—his brilliant ecology-themed song—during my wedding 23 years ago!!  

Rod’s deep catalogue of meaningful songs, incl. “A Sailor’s Prayer” “American Jerusulem,” “The Coming of the Snow” and “Cross Country Waltz” have been recorded by a Who’s Who of contemporary folk artists, and his insightful writing remains timely, topical, and relevant.  His warm, distinctive voice is instantly recognizable and strong as ever on “Undo The Damage.”  I urge you to listen closely and discover one of the great singer-songwriters of our time.
