Album Notes

Ruth…here is the Dwight Edwards,and Mr Edwards, if you read this, you ROCK!! We really enjoyed this one… a fine set of down-home blues. Here we go…

Indianapolis’ own Dwight Edwards is waaay more than your average bluesman. This CD, his third independent release, finds him handling not only the vocal duties, but the lead guitar, bass, keys and horns as well! Multi-talented, you say? Yes, Indeed!! With a rich baritone reminiscent of Big Bill Morganfield, Dwight smokes through nine cuts of originals that show off his vast songwriting abilities as well.

A blues veteran of some 40 years, Dwight’s talents really come out on this set. Check out the autobiographical “Mama Blues,” where he’s promised his mother all his life that he would “grow up and play the blues,” even though it didn’t QUITE always meet with her approval! I’ll Always Be Around” is a good shot of soul-blues in the B. B.- or Bobby Bland vein. We had three favorites. We just couldn’t get enough of Dwight's slow-blues lead guitar and impassioned vocals on the slow-burners “Don’t Lie,” and “Stop Loving You.” On the humorous side, in “Fat Meat Ain’t Greasy,” he uses everything from mojo hands to some John the Conquer Root to win a lady’s affections! As he so aptly puts it “One More Time,” “everybody’s gotta die, but not eyerybody knows how to live. ”So we urge you to go for the gusto and grab a copy of Dwight Edwards “Heart OF The Blues,” and let the good times roll!! Until Later… Sheryl and Don Crow.
