Album Review: Jim Lawrie - Eons

Welcome to the big league Jim.

Yes, you’ve tasted success as drummer of Eagle & The Worm, and you’ve been on the scene a good few years, but Eons is fucking brilliant. Its arrangements are unhurried and inspirational (the horns on Falling Stars and Good Old Days are bliss), and although your voice strains at times, your delivery is impassioned and honest. A quintessential Australian twang flows through but doesn’t overwhelm your songs. Your narrative lyrics evoke your heroes Paul Kelly and Jackson Browne, but your arrangements are better and your future every bit as bright.
