Press Reviews "Rootsy, grown-up Hard Rock reminiscent of Tesla's Five Man Acoustical Jam. Everyman sentiments and agile guitar playing .." "Slow to mid-tempo ballads laid against acoustic guitars, nice harmonies....or faster numbers with a gritty, bluesy side not unlike Stevie Ray Vaughan...." Mike McGuirk & Linda Ryan, Editors, Listen.com ___________________________________________________________________" Mat Edwards puts on his whiskey, gravel voice for thebluesy woes of "Tom Coolidge." This particular track hasthe feel of modern blues-pop done in the Delta bluesstyle where the sassy licks of an acoustic, slide guitarare softened by just a shot of reverb. The opensounding guitar progressions on this track bring theseparticular blues into the new millennium with just a dashof folk for flavoring.Edwards' music in general has a "Creed-like" edge witha modern day interpretation of a classic rock sound.When he plays solo though, as he does on "TomCoolidge," you can hear the heart of a true bluesman.He sings like he lives it and plays like he means it.Whether cranky, mournful, raging or sad, blues areblues no matter how you color them. Edwards colorsthem with class. " Fran Gray,ReviewerGods Of Music___________________________________________________________________ 'Blues Playin Man' brims with Hendrixian energy. Edwards is a solid guitarist who enjoys playing, and that comes through in his music. ...Edwards delivers his words with conviction and catharsis, and the song ('Changed Man') grooves convincingly".
