Title: Run-away success
Review: The American Dream - battered, bruised and more than a little threadbare, but still living on in Jonathan Donahue's mind. An almost tangible sense of melancholy and optimism imbues tracks like "Holes" and "Goddess On A Hiway", while "Endlessly" segues seamlessly into the chorus of "Silent Night". Rarely do musicianship and vision meet so well, and the results are frequently beautiful. In the words of the man himself, "it almost makes me laugh, and always makes me cry."
