As a singing drummer\, Ed had been discouraged from attempting to &ldquo\;front&rdquo\; a band from behind the kit. &ldq uo\;Different managers and record companies had asked me to move either to the keyboards or out front to more effectively lead a band\, and I&rsquo\ ;ve tried it all.

\nSo Ed went back to his roo ts to put together vinyl shockley. &ldquo\;There is a type of music that h as always appealed to me\, a little off-center\, that reflects the influen ces that rhythm &\; blues and hillbilly music have on each other.&rdquo \; The way they come together\, in Ed&rsquo\;s mind\, is unique. Finding l ike-minded musicians to create this music proved to be a challenge. After several starts and stops Ed finally found a group of musicians that unders tood the flavor he was looking for and the band&rsquo\;s first CD followed .
