Eric Steckel is not new to the performing game; he’s been at it since his first live show at the age of 10. Sure, he’s still one of the younger names in blues rock, but he’s certainly hard to ignore. He’s built a strong fan base and played with some big names in rock, all the while delivering a steady stream of high-quality jams. Now, a decade after that first show and with several albums under his belt, Steckel is back for another go...

...Dismantle the Sun isn’t a particularly daring album, and doesn’t stray from its formula too much, but it excels at what it does. Nearly everything to be heard here is executed flawlessly, and is reminiscent of the kind of quality that many artists much older than Steckel only achieve in their later years. The performance is tight, energetic, and focused. The subject matter is relevant and compelling. The pacing and storytelling constantly pique the listener’s interest. It really is a hard album to dislike in general, and with such a unique, sonically fantastic track like "Last Night” right in the middle, this is a package you should not pass up. ~ by Tyler Quiring, bluesrockreview.com
