AMG Review of Whatever Comes First

Thom Owens
All Music Guide

Sons of the Desert's Whatever Comes First is a dynamic, exciting debut that borrows equally from high-octane country-rock, professional contemporary country and rollicking progressive bluegrass. The Sons are as talented at picking as they are at singing, and the album benefits from their skills -- even the mediocre cuts sound tight and energetic, making Whatever Comes First a first-rate debut.
