I never heard of this band until I went to New Orleans Jazz Fest in April. Stumbling through the crowd for reasons I can't remember, I came upon the stage by accident. The music stopped me dead in my tracks. It was so beautiful it made me cry out of sheer intense joy. 30 seconds into discovering this band and their music hugged my soul and made me thrilled to be alive. How lucky am I to have been affected by music like that?
Saw them last week in Dallas. It was a wonderful night and concert. Best way to describe the band is how musical they are - more than any band I've seen. Elvis' voice is so rich, full of hints and tones, every song has something. Loved this song.
i absolutely LOVE this song!! its beautiful. its simple. its happy. its sad. just perfect. i gotta thank Amie Street music site for introducing me to them and you for posting their vids!
@roboctocon The traditional song is as I said. Just google that title and listen and you will hear. I think both Donovan and EP are playing of these lyrics -
Donovan - Yellow is the color of my true loves hair
EP - Yellow is the color of my true loves crossbow
When I first noticed EP and this song, I feared that it will be a Top 100 soon. But obviously the majority of people doesn't want to listen to good music...that's fine for the moment, because it gives the artists time to evolve. And these guys are really great !
Didn't find an exciting new song like this one in the recent years !
Best thing: they have a lot of interesting material on their new CD.
I did not like the noise my computer made when this gentleman started singing. By the looks of the band, I was ready to hear some good sound, only to be dissapointed :(
I like this song a lot--just heard it on KALX...but the busy editing of this video is one big distraction and when you go to splt-screen it is truly ridiculous...the song worked better on the radio...
what kind of organ is it that they're using in this? and on the record, i guess? it sounds absolutely gorgeous and looks great in that wooden frame...but i can't seem to find anything like it.
the perfect comment for this video.

"Black is the color of my true loves hair" is a lot (centuries?) older than Donovan. Its a traditional song both Donovan and this song play off.
