The fact of the matter is, "Elsie" is damn near perfect and contains
what might be Fallon's best work to date. After the release of a few
solo acoustic songs last year, many wondered what the punk poet might
produce if left to his own devices. The gospel and blues influences that
were hinted at on (The Gaslight Anthem's 2010 effort) "American Slang"
have become full fledged realities on "Elsie," where we find Fallon
yelping like a southern preacher on the dirty blues of "Mary Ann," which
sounds like Mick and Keith themselves could've penned the song during
their "Exile on Main Street" sessions.

While Fallon has maintained that the Gaslight Anthem is his main focus, one can't help but wonder if The Horrible Crowes
is what the Good Lord intended he use his beautiful voice for. He seems
comfortable, 100% in the driver's seat for all of these songs, and the
results are absolutely amazing. "Elsie" is absolutely a ten out of ten, 5
star effort and although a bit darker and rustic sounding, a perfectly
necessary addition to the collection of any Gaslight, fan young or old.
"Elsie" proves that, if nothing else, if we ever live in a world that no
longer needs the Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon will be OK. And as long
as he has a microphone in front of him and a guitar in his hands, so
will you. "Elsie" is available now at Best Buy for $9.99.

This album really should be Grammy material.
