"First Light" is Turner Cody's second full length album of original material and evokes musical styles firmly rooted in the American experience, from jazzy standard-esque tunes to sweeping lyrical ballads and blues driven boogie woogie. Beneath the exterior of acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, and horns, it is Cody's lyricism that is the driving force of "First Light". His words can be touchingly direct, as in the title track "First Light" and the lazy road song "Lowlands", but also abstract and narrative as in "Camptown Ladies" and "Irene". In every case, however, his songs show the highest degree of attention to craft and detail. Cody's work harks back to the sensibility of what a song should be; poetic constructions of meter, rhyme, and melody.
 
Though the material on "First Light" may be finely tuned, the recording itself is raw and airy. Few overdubs were used and Cody's vocal tracks are all first takes. This process lends a vitality to the recordings that grows with each listen. Jon Natchez's (Beirut) clarinet, trumpet and saxophone add a sophistication to the folky core of the live sound. The energy of "First Light" shows the convergence of great compositional preparation with a live in-the-studio approach. The result feels like a record made for the love of music.
