For the past few years, I have been buying albums based more on listening to the album prior to purchase than impulse buying off decent radio airplay. I had never heard of this guy before & was recommended to hear the CD. After one minute of each of the first two songs, I bought it. This man is unbelievable. Power, depth, emotion - all mixed into the perfect blend of music. Solitude is one of the greatest songs Ive heard in the past few years. 3 AM is pure emotion. The rest of the album is great. His band is very good. Craig Shields adds saxophones & such in a peculiar blend. TJ Hall on drums brings just just enough power & subtlety to the music. Scott Bannevichs bass gives the songs their tone & lets Edwin do the rest. And get this - hes even better in concert & his new album kicks butt! One of the best albums in a while - if only he could get some serious airplay.
