in my shoes

The CD cracks open with a steamroller. Eck chugs through “The Gossip Train” like a man in hurry to make up for lost time. Big, bold Leadbelly-like guitar riffage pushes the song, while Eck chews up the lyrics and spits them out with all of the appropriate intensity and urgency that the song demands.
Nippertown

small town blues

Grittier and less baroque than "Resonator" with songs
(and sounds) that cut to the very core of American roots music. "Eck's voice is blessed with a passion most artists would die for."
Ellen Geisel, Dirty Linen

A passel of special quests join Eck on everything from chamber pop to country folk; all with a literate edge.
"Each song is like a Raymond Carver short story - detailed,direct and memorable.
Frederick Rudofsky, Amazon.com

cowboy black

The "maximum solo acoustic" debut with special guest
Kevin Maul on dobro. "Cowboy Black" variously recalls
early Bruce Springsteen and the"Exile On Main Street"
era Rolling Stones"
Seth Rogovoy, Berkshire Eagle
