David Ackles is the self-titled debut album of American singer-songwriter David Ackles. Elektra Records later reissued it with new cover art under the title The Road to Cairo. Described by music historian Richie Unterberger as Ackles' "most rock-oriented record", it garnered faint praise from Rolling Stone critic Arthur Schmidt, who complained of thin melodies but who nevertheless described Ackles as "one of the best singers I've ever heard".
Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity covered "The Road to Cairo" shortly after the album's release. In the early-1970s, Spooky Tooth and The Hollies would cover "Down River."
