Press Reviews "A lyrically though-provoking, musically masterful album." - Mike Hood, SA Current - May 20th, 1993 "This music is from the heart, as well as brain gravy for the mind." - Pat Jones, SA News - July 15-29, 1993 "It's a treat to hear someone write lyrics that you can understand about, good ole' love and relationships. It's sort of like Bruce Hornsby meets John Mellencamp meets Jackson Browne." - Stuart Tucker, THE SOUTH END - Detroit, MI Sept. 1993 "Ed produced enough kick-ass rock riffs and slam-funky grooves to please even the most jaded rocker. His ballads manage to breach the high school love puppy fence and move fluidly into the real world..." - Mike Hood, SA Current - Sept, 1993 "Morales' music is kind of turbo-charged electro-acoustic music. It rocks, but doesn't hit the listeners over the head with a brick. The man's music and words dovetail into a seamless, interesting intelligent whole." - Jim Beal, San Antonio Express News - December 24th 1993 "This is classic American pop rock with an almost '70s feel to it ... Ed Morales has done an excellent job in creating music with a strong message and solid production, these are catchy songs that have something significant to say." Mike Rimmer - Crossrhythms Magazine issue 55 Feb/Mar 2000"The production sounds very good; great guitar sounds all around. The music isn't too far off from a Tom Petty or a Don Henley - which I love. I liked the last song a lot ? reminiscent of the Grateful Dead's Touch of Grey (who) take similar song structures, the laid back vocal style and layer it with harmonies and meandering lead lines." - John Thompson - editor/publisher of TrueTunes magazine - May 1999 "A divinely-inspired songwriter and singer, Eddie always delivers infectious melodies and words that truly speak."- Michael Morales - Top 40 Artist, Producer and Multi-Grammy Award winne
