Quote: "It ranges from dead presidents to a love of donuts - and everything
in between."
By Dan MacIntosh
Dr. Pants is a fine name for a rock band, although I would be wary of any physician with that name. David Broyles is the legs, so to speak, of this medical menswear. He writes and sings the songs, sometimes with striking honesty.
Broyles writes songs about anything and everything. “Hey Abe Lincoln” seeks out
a famous dead president for advice. The disc closes with “Donuts,” which begins
by stating: “I love donuts - that’s all I can say, I eat donuts at night and donuts
in the day.” Yep, it ranges from dead presidents to a love of donuts - and everything
in between.
This CD is mostly guitar rock, although “The Gift,” seemingly about God’s gift of love, smartly adds organ. The song also has some wonderfully funky guitar work.
It may make you a little squirmy to listen to a guy spill his guts on disc. But Broyles does this so artfully, he makes his confessions feel like a comfortable old pair of jeans.
