House of Guitars
VRD 1925 CD Release Date 2001

Ed’s seventh album house of guitars finds him creating an ever wider range of sounds and textures, each carrying a deep emotional impact. The sounds on this disc are up to Ed’s usual high audio standards despite being recorded using cheap, pawnshop style guitars! The material ranges widely as well, from beautiful, tender ballads like “Let it Be Me” and Paul McCartney’s wistful “Junk” to the eerie yet rocking “Because of you, this.”

Includes: Promised land, Poor Wayfaring Stranger, Try to Stay, Because of You This, I Will, Shallow Brown, Farther Along, I Just Can’t keep from Crying Sometimes, Let it be Me, Junk and Promised Land Reprise.
