Album Review: Adam Eckersley Band - The First Album

Scott Fitzsimons

The First Album has a depth and potential revealed over multiple listens.

Southern-fried rock with a wash of country, The First Album might be the first proper drinking album of the year. Eckersley does the rousing (Sex & Money), the lamenting (Tomorrow Night, Same Again) and the vital (Crazy Woman) with equal artistry. There's still room to refine and mature as a recording band, a continuity we're seeing develop on stage, but this is surprisingly layered for an album written before the band began writing as one. The First Album has a depth and potential revealed over multiple listens.
