Don Coleman, Canada's Premiere AC/DC Vocalist has recorded the song 'Women, Whiskey & Rock'n'Roll' to celebrate the life and spirit of Bon Scott. You can listen to the song by visiting the dedicated website at: www.myspace.com/doncoleman (if not in blue just copy & paste into your browser).
The song has been airing daily on Australia's Rebel FM Network ( 40 stations in Queensland / NSW) plus has been airing weekly on PERTH 107.3 FM and Twin Cities 89.7 FM on specific shows (more coming on board everyday). The latter two stations are close to Fremantle, Western Australia where there was a concert to unveil a statue of Bon Scott. At this concert , one of the bands performing was the re-formed 'Party Boys'. Members of the band , Vince Lovegrove (former bandmate of Bon in 'The Valentines'), Aussie Legend - Kevin Borich and 'Angels' drummer Buzz Bidstrup, all think this song is a 'ripper'. Also on the list of great responses came from Susan Masino, published author of 'Let There Be Rock' ( a book on Bon & AC/DC) and President of the Bon Scott Fan Club, Doug Thorncroft who loved the song. Don, Susan and Doug were on WRUW 91.1 FM to do on air interviews, on a show that was dedicated to the memory of Bon Scott, and to launch the song in the USA. Don did other radio interviews when the song aired on Newcap FM Net station K-Rock 105.5, Charlottetown, PEI., Canadian Broadcasting Corp's 106.1 FM, Moncton, NB and 98.9 Big John FM , St. John, NB.

Most recently it aired on C103 FM Moncton on their "Indie Files Show" plus several Internet FM Radio Stations. Don will be doing more media interviews with various Music Magazines.
Other notable reviews came from Vince Lovegrove ( former bandmate of Bon's in the 'Valentines'), Aussie Legend - Kevin Borich, 'Angels' drummer Buzz Bidstrup who performed at the Fremantle concert to unveil the statue, in their re-formed band the 'Party Boys'. They all think the song is a 'ripper'. I received a request for the song from longtime friend of Bon and longtime bassist for Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Daisley who thinks Don did a great job on the song.
Don has been receiving many offers from : England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA, to front many bands and to tour. One such offer came from the original frontman for AC/DC, Dave Evans who also performed in Fremantle.
You can listen to the song by visiting the dedicated site at www.myspace.com/doncoleman .
