Essix, Eric - Songs From The Deep

The album is a collector’s edition of Eric Essix’s 27th album, Songs From the Deep, on 180-gram vinyl. Because the South is his life and it’s always been home, both physically and spiritually, Eric has carried those artful and passionate Southern breezes through some of his best recordings, including the albums Southbound (2000) and Birmingham (2009). Songs From the Deep captures our collective moment perfectly with a sense of personal nostalgia on “Late Night Drive,” and “Back Porch,” sociopolitical resolve on “Forward March,” and several powerful shout-outs to recently departed civil rights icon, and fellow Alabamian, John Lewis on “Walk With the Wind,” and “Stand.”
