Donna Ulisse - Rollin'
Donna Ulisse - Rollin' Known for years as one of the most admired vocalists and songwriters in bluegrass, Donna started out singing country from her childhood home in Hampton, VA. She became a popular singer with bands all over the Tidewater area, eventually moving to Nashville with her husband, and one of her chief songwriting partners, Rick Stanley. The two still write and perform together, but now it’s all grass, though Rollin’ was written by Ulisse alone.
Back when the song was first released in May, Donna, told us about Rollin’…
“I remember the morning I wrote this song, because I had just run across a picture of my first car with a big bow on top! It wasn’t the car I had wished for, but it was brand new, it was the color I wanted, and it had a great sound system. The red Buick Electra 225 was also the size of a boat, and that’s why my dad bought his 16-year-old daughter this rolling aircraft carrier. He felt it was safe. I never could park it, but I fell in love with it, and it screamed freedom to me and to my worried parents. I never dreamed it would also be the way I would spend my life…Rollin’ down the highways.”
