Hi all, it's been a while but we've been tinkering away in the background! Today I got to catch up with Sue Davies at BBC Radio Wiltshire for a chat and a chance to play a new song. If you'd like to hear it, head to the link at around 3:20:00, hopefully, it'll appear on a new album in the not-too-distant future!

With the ups and downs of the pandemic still prevalent, it's nice to come home to such a kind review from a magazine you used to pick up as a teenager. These guys, as with many publications, will need your support now more than ever so be sure to pick up a copy of your favourite magazine! You can grab this issue in WHSmith, newsagents or online here: http://www.rock-n-reel.co.uk/sales.html

“There is a consistent and sophisticated blues feel to the album...Alongside Joe’s vocals, the quality of the players’ delivery throughout ensures that Keep On Running is rather special.” – ***** Tom Povey (RnR Magazine, UK)

It’s been a quiet few weeks this end after returning back to the UK a little earlier than expected. With the world in the shape it’s in, I’m sure, like myself, many of us are feeling anxious and a little lost for direction. Whilst it isn’t fun to be stripped of your livelihood, your own choices, your freedom to move and to create a future, it has taught me something very important that will gladly resonate for years to come, that I’m incredibly lucky to have my family and friends. Selfless, nourishing people whose love and energy have never been more greatly appreciated and I truly hope, that will all the good energy they put out into the world, that they are greatly looked after.

Beth and I were lucky enough to have a week out in Cornwall, replenishing the soul with lots of walks on the beach, relishing excess time on our hands as well as simply enjoying the opportunity to just sit back and play the guitar. It is what it is for now and whilst we move towards another stretch of hostility, I’m certainly going to count myself lucky to have all the most important things, just a phone call away.

Look what arrived from Germany! The good folks at Magazin bluesnews were kind enough to send us their latest issue featuring a 5/6 (6!) review of ‘Keep On Running’, what a treat!

“On the one hand, it is hard to believe that this album was recorded live in one room in just ten days. On the other hand, that could be exactly why it sounds so great. With this atmospherically dense, very intimate production, which was created in Nashville, a young Briton introduces himself to the music world…..He settled it between country, folk and blues according to his preference for the great American songwriters from James Taylor to Bob Dylan. He let his brother and friends help him with the implementation and arranged according to the motto "less is more". Joe Edward's captivating texts tell of traveling, of underdogs, of eternal love, of distributional injustices and of the liberating feeling of having everything you need in one bag. A nugget for listeners, Americana fans and fans of honest songwriting.” - Christoph Ullrich (Blues News Magazine, DE)

Holy Moly, just been down to the local supermarché to find this **** review of Joe Edwards new album in this summers copy of Classic Rock Magazine:

“The Wiltshire-born songwriter has put on some miles, but all roads lead to Nashville on this assured debut. Producer, slide guitarist and local hero Steve Dawson ensures it never comes across as a holidaying Englishman, letting songs like Cross The Line and Driving Home unfold with an authentic, unhurried, pedal-steel-draped beauty.” – Henry Yates, 8/10 (Classic Rock Magazine, UK)

Oh boy! 😁🤟

Howdy folks! Allan Wilkinson over at Northern Sky Reviews has kindly put in his time to write this lovely review:

“Hailing from the Wiltshire Delta of Devizes, Joe Edwards avoids the stereotypical version of British Blues by demonstrating restraint, with his cool J.J. Cale-styled growl underpinning each of the self-penned selections with rewarding results. There are tell-tale signs of his British roots, not least in his honest delivery, in the way he pronounces each syllable of ‘cap-it-tal’ in “Capital Blues” for instance.

There’s no shouting involved, rather a whisper, which helps Edwards convey his message more convincingly. On paper, the title of “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down” could almost prepare us for a Billy Bragg type tirade of anger, but instead the song is delivered as a tender ballad, having the same effect for the thinking listener. Edwards delivers each song in a similar manner, a little like Sean Taylor, never preachy, rarely in your face, seldom flag waving, but persuasive nonetheless. This is gentle blues for the most part, tender balladry for the rest and a good listen throughout.” – Allan Wilkinson (Northern Sky Reviews, UK)

Big thanks to Tom at Take Effect Reviews for giving the album a hearty 8/10:

"A global wanderer, Edwards penned these tunes in different parts of the world, but it was all recorded live in one room with all players on hand, resulting in an intimate and spontaneous warmth to a very impressive start to what will likely be a flourishing career.” – Tom Haugen (Take Effect, U.S)

Hailing from sunny Croatia, the good folks at SoundGuardian Portal have written a very kind review of the new album. At the same time, I've been sent this pic from a rather cool Nana donning one of the Tiny Mountain Records tees! 😎:

“Joe Edwards is definitely a new name on the music scene, but that by no means he should be ignored, quite the opposite! If you give it a try, the album “Keep On Running” may become your favourite companion through precious free time.” - Mladen Loncar (Sound Guardian, CRO)
