Essentially a paean to his father, 'Big Don' Wheatley, Moondogs And Mad Dogs is unapologetically imbued with the spirit of Van Morrison, Dylan, The Band, Lennon et al; all musicians that have played a major part in both Donald's and his father's life. Driven by an honest heart and a pure desire to make an album his father would have loved, Wheatley has produced something very special indeed - an innocent, loving musical tribute that
stands alone as a remarkable debut.
"I just wanted to make a record that my dad would like," he says. "I wanted to sit there and put it on and think, 'I know he'd love that song.' And I think we've done that."
