I am from Virginia (where EFO is from) and have been following them for years. I am not a fan of folk music normally, but their music is some of the most talented stuff around. Even better, they are amazing live--if you ever get the chance to see them, do it. They are hilarious and modest and really appreciate their fans.
I really enjoy the slow, ballad-type songs on this CD. But I generally find their faster songs to be weaker lyrically, and not as interesting. That's been my experience with this band overall--they are truly great and moving on the slow stuff, but the tune and lyrics of their faster songs remind me of the songs my friends wrote in college when we were just playing around (of course, the songs on this album sound much better and have a much higher production value...).
Great vocals, smooth harmonies and polished performances from the band mark this group as one for your favorites list!
