American singer-songwriter, founding member of The Walkabouts and member of Dirtmusic; has released solo albums including Harney County and Where the Spirit Rests and collaborated with artists such as Chris Brokaw and Hugo Race.

Eckman was a principal figure in The Walkabouts. He has recorded solo work and collaborated widely; reviews note an exodus to Europe with Slovenia and Italy mentioned as places of residence or strong connection.

DaniP reviews Chris Eckman's Where the Spirit Rests, noting a spare acoustic approach and evocative storytelling. The review links Eckman to his Walkabouts past, European relocation (Slovenia, Italy) and collaborations with Chris Brokaw and Hugo Race. Musically compared to Johnny Cash's American recordings and Tom Waits; praised for craft but lamented lack of mainstream recognition.

For:Fans of Americana and acoustic singer-songwriters; followers of The Walkabouts; listeners who like Johnny Cash/Tom Waits-tinged music.

 If there's someone who wasn't, isn't, and never will be a prophet at home, it's Chris Eckman.
