If you're looking for music that is different and good--this is the album for you. Collin Herring knows how to put into song all of those feelings you have every day--and he does it in a way that calls out to anyone looking for something original to put in their cd players.

This album rocks. There is no other way to describe it. It is just good music, whether you are into country, rock, or anything else in between. So...what are you waiting for? Buy it! Enjoy!

Okay...I purchased or listened to only about 25 CDs released this year, but this is the one I keep coming back to.

This band shifts confidently from distortion tinged rockers to Eagles-like country pop songs to instrumental mini epics without missing a step. Through it all is a wide open plains feel that rings true.

The songs are well crafted with the rough edges left intact. Highlights include Back of Your Mind, Aphorism, Nobody Much Longer and Motorcade, although there isn't a weak track here.

I love this disc. I've had it for a couple of years and still listen to it often. The songs are all really good, the band is hot, and the song writing is superb. From twangy country tunes to balls-out rockers, every song on this disc is a gem. And "Back of Your Mind" remains one of my favorite pop/rock songs of all time even after hearing it at least a thousand times.

Try it... you'll like it. :-)

Collin Herring's new one is called Past Life Crashing and it comes out in March. It's a bit more reflective than the material on Kindness but it's a magnificent effort. Both releases are filled with some of the best songwriting Texas has to offer and that's saying something.
