Awesome February 8, 2008
This is an amazing follow up to his self titled first album which is great. This, for me, is even better. The album is full of happy Summer tunes. If you aren't sure about this album just buy it and I guarantee you'll love it. Once again, and I know it's always said but, if you like Jack Johnson, you'll love this. This is a really really good album! Get it!

A very very good album, and in my opinion, better than his debut, which takes some beating. Full of funky, laid-back tunes, it really is ideal as a soundtrack for the summer. I even think im starting to prefer him to jack johnson. I highly recomend it.

If like me you've been lucky enough to see Donavon's band live then you've probably been eagerly anticipating this release, and you won't be disappointed. Even as an introduction to the man's music if you're not familiar with his debut, this album serves to showcase his (and his band's) stunning ability to ride a groove like he does a wave. And what grooves; every tune's alive, and the Stevie Wonder-esque organ really barrels them along (the title track sounds very fresh for this and is bound to be massive). That Jack-Johnson-meets-Hendrix-and-Clapton-on-acid guitar work that makes your jaw drop when you first see Donavon live is very evident here (as opposed to the more minimal approach of his debut), but not once is a tune sacrificed for indulgence. Better still, the dude plays with more soul than I've heard in a long while and gets more out of a sustained note than most can with a furious lick (and he's not short on those either). 'Fool' is an absolutely awesome tune for this very reason, and one that could easily have been overdone by a lesser bunch of musicians. Donavon's a real bluesman, he's assembled a real soul-rock band (check out the backing female soul vocals throughout, and the strings on 'The Way It Is' really stand out as something different on a rock album), he's reinventing soulful sun-drenched 70s funk-rock and he's penned a couple of the soundtracks to your summer on the beach. If I had one criticism it'd be that initially I felt some the vocals re-covered similar ground too often, but the last two tracks are absolute belters in this respect and I think that if I gave it 4 stars now I'd have to re-review later to 5 as the album's also got definite 'grower' potential. If you like your music funky, uplifting, infectious yet still original, check out this album. Oh, and if you want a poignantly beautiful acoustic tune, 'Beautiful Day' is a right tear-jerker!
