       "..the new EP "Donna" feels like a quantum leap. This is the
kind of country that Bob Dylan used to make — lead twang, lightly
strummed rhythm guitar, unobtrusive bass and driving drums. "Eshu Blues"
and the title track really do sound like "Blonde on Blonde" outtakes.
Clearly, they should have been on the soundtrack for
"I'm Not There." --Austin American Statesman
"Capping off a night of neo-retro, the Black bakes a new set of nuggets from its already recorded but unreleased Donna EP, which pours classic garage pop and Sweetheart of the Rodeo-era Byrds into a Muswell hillbilly bouillabaisse." ----Austin Chronicle
"Weaving a spell of disjointed guitar pop hypnotizing in its interplay and charming in its simplicity. Straight Americana and 60's British Invasion sounds, twisted, filtered, spit out shiny and unique." --Rank and Revue Magazine
