It might seem hard to believe that a band that has been together for a little more than a year, can have gained such a large following, selling out shows where ever they go...until you hear their music. Simply put, The Head And The Heart make wonderful neo-folk music that is full of life and energy and warmth, it just radiates. There is also this wonderful authenticity to their songwriting and their performances that makes you feel like each one of these songs is the most important one they have ever done. This is an excellent debut album through and through.

There is something about The Donkeys that I really like. I just can't figure out exactly what it is...I guess that I would equate them to comfort food. It is not the fanciest or the most exotic or even the most flavorful, but it just always tastes good and right. And the Donkeys' music is a lot like that; Nothing fancy, but really satisfying. The band has this great late '60's, early '70's psychedelic rock sound that makes these songs feel so familiar to me. Songs such as New Blue Stockings and Ceiling Tan stand out for this reason, but songs that sound a bit more contemporary, like Don't know Who We Are, are just great.
