I can't say it any better than the review by Glenn Dixon. There is so much to say about this artist. This is an amazing album, there is so much heart in his songs and it is an incredible journey to listen. J does make the crowd feel like extended family. He is a joy to listen to and also a great person to know. He is just an awesome artist, can't wait to see him at the top.

Everything Changes is the latest CD from singer & songwriter J Edwards.  J is known not only for his incredible original songs, but also as a great performer who makes the crowd feel like a part of his extended family.  The title is very appropriate because listening to this CD is like watching the changing scenery go by on that incredible road trip that you will remember for years to come.  J gets the journey off to a fast start with Junkyard of Love, an upbeat rockin tune that gets your motor running and fires you up for the trip to come.  

Next up is Carol Ann, a song that takes you to so many destinations and yet never lets you leave.  The music that accompanies this song is stirring and tugs at you as you willingly take this journey just to see where it leads.  

This cross country adventure is followed by Can't Get Over You; a song that is like taking a fast ride down a country road on a warm spring day with the top down.  With your fingers snapping and your toes tapping, you can't help but smile and get caught up in the adventure of it all.  

At the end of that country road is a grassy meadow and that's where you'll stop to lay a blanket down, kick back, look up at the sky and enjoy Flyin'.  This tune is like laying back on that blanket and watching the clouds slowly go by.  You get the feeling that the slight breeze is swaying the trees to the rhythm of this amazing tune.  

After a brief pause to catch your breath, it's back on the road again with Lover's Moon.  The ultimate road trip song that appeals to anyone who travels, but especially those who travel to bring happiness to others while leaving their loved ones behind.  

Of course there are always adventures on road trips and that's where Skye comes in.  This song can have many meanings to different people, but only true J Edwards fans know the real meaning behind the song.  One thing everyone knows though is that it's a fun tune that's perfect for turning up loud when you're driving fast.

And then we come to Baby.  J's fans will be referring to this one as the new 7.  Let me put it to you this way:  If you can't get lucky with this song, then you might as well resign yourself to a lonely life of self gratification.  The soul and emotion that pour out of this song are nothing short of amazing.  As if that wasn't enough, I don't know how Charles Funk coaxes such melodic cries of passion out of his guitar, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal in most of the Bible Belt.

Although I never had the pleasure of knowing Chris Conner, I can't help but think he's looking down and smiling about the next song, If I Had To.   Not just because of the special way that he's mentioned in the song, but also because I'd like to think that this is a song that he would be playing in his CD player and smiling the whole time he was listening to it.

Use Me is a song with a certain buzz about it.  It starts off with a great vibe and then kicks this trip back up into a high gear that makes you feel the gyrations of straddling a powerful machine on the open road with all of you inhibitions behind you.

As someone who's always been a closet songwriter, Catch Me is the song that I'll always wish  I had written.  There are songs that make you move and then there are songs that move you.  This one definitely moves you.

As this road trip winds down, J finishes us off with Harder We Fall.  What a perfect ending for this adventure.  The combination of meaningful lyrics accompanied by J's soulful voice and his acoustic guitar is a perfect recipe for a melancholy experience... and yet when it's done you feel better for hearing it.  As this song brings us to our destination, the only thing that you want to do is to go back to the first song, fire up the engine and start all over again!
