The Singing Edwards
One of our many home-grown family-based
country bands, and a rarity for us, as the album was still sealed
when I found it. This is 100% unplayed vinyl
folks! The Singing Edwards are one of those
church-loving, family groups, and they show some great talent on
this record. The group is made up of Grace and Jim (mom and dad),
Scott, April, Heather, Bonnie, and Mark Edwards, along with some
other musician friends: Tom Keates (steel guitar), Gizz Watt
(fiddle), Al Manning (guitars), Stephen Patterson (rhythm guitar),
Don Edmunds (strings synth), and Mike Bond
(drums). So far, I've only been able to locate
Bonnie, and you can read more about her life and work at her website. She now works with her husband in
musical evangelical
pursuits. My favourite song on the LP is sung by
April, Gramma Sang Off Key. It's a poppy country song that's a lot
of fun. Don't You Love Me is (ironically) sung a bit flat and
off-key, but it has some great steel guitar. Lastly, I Saw The Light
as sung by Jim the Dad is another fun country take with some great
fiddle and guitar
work. Don't You Love
