Michigan's Ed Englerth releases 'Restless Ghost'

MICHIGAN-based singer/songwriter Ed Englerth has released a new album, 'Restless Ghost'. Guesting on the project is Ray White (Frank Zappa). Said Englerth, "When I write songs, I'm not thinking abut writing a folk song or a blues, jazz or rock song. It's more like journaling. I'm trying to capture concepts, emotions and impressions." CR

You forgot to mention that Ed also does all of the artwork on his album covers. But I agree, Restless Ghost is amazing. You can get it at http://cdbaby.com/cd/englerthed, or from the artist himself at www.bluesidedownstudios.com I think I like After the Garden best. It is a great historical ballad, the fall of man in Eden, the consequences, the sorrow... then Ed turns it around into a triumph of after the garden of Gethsamane (sp) ... "As we walk to the tomb, we carry such a heavy weight ... there's light at the end of the tunnel, the rock's been rolled away! After the garden..." The music is very emotional, and then triumphant. It's brilliant.

Ed Englerth's albums are incredibly listenable. The more you listen, the more firmly the addiction takes hold. Restless Ghost is his most commercial sounding project to date. Every song is so lyrically compelling, that, backed with his amazing band of veteran musicians, I predict this album will see a LOT of airplay. The drums are so interesting, the bass melodic, and the sax transporting. Ed's voice and guitar, bring the entire project to vivid life. The unbelievable detail is that Ed not only writes all of the words and music, he also produces, arranges, and engineers the project. His depth of talent never seems to end. I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy this album, and then investigates the previous library of Ed's astonishing array of music.
