Blackest Hair, Bluest Eyes is the debut album from Chris Staples. There are currently no hard copies available. Hard copies will likely never be available. But they will always be available digitally from the freindly folks over at itunes.
just wanted to send some words of encouragement your way. hope all is well with you and that you can keep on making music. currently i'm in richmond, VA, and go back to nashville for holidays or breaks, so i don't know if i'd go to your show if you found a way to play in nash, which is a shame, but i'd get a couple of people to go...
anyways, i would like to get a hard copy of your homemade cd to add to your music collection (238, DiscoA, CS, etc.).. this might compel me to organize my entire cd collection. anyways, keep it real bro, and be safe and have fun in your travels.
When I occasionally put my ipod on shuffle I usually end up skipping a large number of songs. You sir, have never been skipped. I'm looking forward to a new release when you get around to it. Take your time. Good music needs time.
i just wanted to say thank you for making such amazing music. i think you're a musical genius, sir. it's gotten me through some rough nights. please dont ever, ever stop.
Last weekend somebody broke into my car and stole all my CDs. One of the discs had two songs from Donkey and Deer! "You Should be Living" and "God Send a Bomb" were the titles. I had downloaded them when I was in highschool. Do those songs still exist, in any form?
