Blue-Eyed Son is an American indie rock band.[1]

The title of their debut album West of Lincoln refers to the ocean west of Lincoln Boulevard, Santa Monica.[1] "Blue-Eyed Son" may be a reference to a lyric in Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall, and the album features a cover of Dylan's "I Threw It All Away".[1][2] The songs "When I Come Home" and "Step Away from the Cliff" have been featured on the medical drama Grey's Anatomy, and "Step Away from the Cliff" on the dark comedy Weeds.[1][3] West of Lincoln has been described by Allmusic's Alex Henderson as a "softer, more acoustic guitar-friendly effort" than Heilprin's earlier work.[4] Henderson goes on to say the album "has been greatly influenced by the Beatles' more psychedelic work of the late '60s."[4]
