Did anyone here ever come across a US singer songwriter named Edward J Smith?
A year or so ago Hugh Blumenfeld sent me a copy of a memorial CD of Edward's songs and instrumentals, put together by a group of friends from a wealth of unreleased recordings, following his death in 1997. I still find myself regularly returning to this album "Take Me Home" (particularly when the world goes a little bizarre on me). If you like open-tuning guitarists on a similar path to Nick Drake, early Bruce Cockburn, early Joni and similar, I reckon (hope) you'll love this too. With permission I've recently put a track up on my MP3.com station - a 10 minute song called "When the Snow Falls" - If you can listen to MP3.com stations on your computer - and have 10 minutes to spare - hope you'll take a listen to the first track at http://www.mp3.com/acrossthepond and when it stops snowing, go out and build a snowman or sing a gaelic song, perhaps!
