Recorded in a small garden studio in Cholsey with producer Tom Anderson in 2011. Jack Cade and the Everyday Sinners first album pulled together 12 songs written over the previous 4 years as a singer songwriter and transformed the music into a full band experience.
The album was recorded over 8 months and features friends and session players from around Berkshire and London.
Released in August 2011 the album gained most of it's coverage in the US with From Under the Basement saying "
"Take about two cups of Johnny Cash add a dash or two of Tom Waits, and a smidgen of the psychobilly or punk roots that began molding him years ago, and you have Jack Cade."
"I love this album for so many reasons. It’s honky-tonk or is it? It’s country, or is it? It’s blues, or is it? It continuously keeps the listener guessing. I on the other hand, after hearing the first track, the title cut, “This Fiery Road”, decided not to categorize, but instead, simply enjoy this extremely unique brand of whatever it is."

Sitting in the half light ticking off time,
There's a lone tall man who is swinging a line,
And he's picking at the threads, of my poorly woven life.
Tripping on sticks and treading on stones,
Walking all day down a long straight road,
Let me set the sails, on this cautionary tale.
I'm down in the dark but the devil you'll take my heart.
Now I'm swimming in whiskey and drowning in sin,
Trying to remember where the hell I've been,
Lord hear my prayer, it's like a whisper on the wind.
Now I'm crossing over lines to fine to see,
There's a woman with the gray hair praying on her knees,
But I don't have the words, to ask her why she's there.
I'm down in the dark but the devil you'll take my heart.
Now I'm swimming in the seas of a beaten heart,
Crawling over waves with my one good arm,
Swimming in the light, of an angel’s last known flight.
Now open up your eyes, open wide,
Listen to the words was all they cried,
Beating in your heart, pounding in your heart.
I'm down in the dark but the devil you'll take my heart.
Now I'm sitting in the half light ticking off time,
That lone tall man who was spinning a line
Has unpicked all the threads of my poorly woven life.
