Editorial Review:
Alice Peacock's debut album, Real Day, is a wonderful set of country rockers, ballads, and honky-tonk workouts. Lyrically, Peacock delivers the goods on the usual subject matter--love, heartbreak, and personal triumph--but with a sincerity and originality that is rare and refreshing. The character of her voice entices you and makes you care about what she's saying. In the song "I'll Be the One," Peacock proclaims with quiet triumph that she's "not the one you're looking for" and that she'll "be the first to say good-bye," and yet the plaintiveness in her voice gives her away. Independence is righteous, but also lonely. In its more electric moments, full of organ washes, pedal steel, articulate guitar solos, and a punchy, melodic rhythm section, Real Day pulses with a slick, roots-rock sensibility reminiscent of the Jayhawks. When the album brings the mood inward with intimate tracks replete with cello, mandolin, and piano, you want to sit closer and really listen. This is a mature, personal effort by a young artist who has clearly seen much in her life, and yet one gets the feeling that the journey is only just beginning. --Michael Wells
The songs on "Real Day" reflect how I see everyday life. The characters, are all parts of me -- kind of my weird take on the world and definitely a little bent but that's how I see things. The songs have many influences -- from rock to country -- inspired by artists ranging from Tom Petty to Rickie Lee Jones. People ask me who I compare myself to or what the album sounds like -- although I hate to limit my music, "Real Day" is pop with a lot of roots influences.

That's my cousin! I would love her music even if she wasn't.
I listen to her music all the time.
Rating: - Peacock Sours!
Alice Peacock is awesome! We accidently stumbled on her while attending another concert in Chicago. Her voice is angelic and her songs go to the heart. The variety of music style is most enjoyable - ranging from strings to brass, pop to folk. She is amazing!
Rating:  - She sounds like Jewel.
If this is to be considered "alternative country" music, i'll eat my ten gallon hat off of my ten inch belt buckle. Ok, so i only heard one song, but she sounds a lot more like psuedo-alty white female love song music than anything alternative, or country.
