SOUL DONKEY, the Sugarman Three's sophomore release on Desco Records, documented a first turn towards the more raw funk sound into which the band would later fully embrace on Daptone's PURE CANE SUGAR.

"Like Iced tea with mint on a hot afternoon of lovemakin with a red boned sun faced young bird. This my friends is why we own genitallia. Now I dont care if youre hangin low or sneekin round the corner this hits you in the funk spot. That extra soul style love smak that makes you want to get that booty doin somethin. This is what the kids in our massive metropolis-es should be havin premarital sex to...not that puff daddy uncle tom sting sampling M/F er . Smart, nasty soul from a few brothers who look more seedy than a fruit stand. Long live Mr. Smith....put mine root down. Dj. Teks"

"If you like funk, this is a great recording to pick up. A more modern influence in the way the drums are mixed, but overall very vintage sounding, and the band is amazing. Great hooks, fat beats, and tasty solos...what's not to like?"
Funk yourself!

"One of the funkiest acid jazz CD's I've ever heard. Plenty of itching to keep you scratching. It will trap you in its grooves and catapult you from your seat. Plenty of sax and Hammond B-3 solos, and some flute (nice touch!). Get all the albums by Sugarman 3 if you are into acid jazz; pure Cane Sugar is as good."
Short, Sharp, Tight AWESOME tracks!

"Is that a Donkey?....
NO!! It's a Soul Donkey!!
I LOVE this album. Found it by accident in a music shop in Sydney, and have since become a devoted fan of both the Sugarman Three and Desco Records. Jam packed with tight little tracks that you just wanna hear live because you know that they could make it last for two minutes or twenty. Makes you move your *ss from start to finish. Buy it! You'll never regret it!"
