Album Description
This recording showcases Ed's claw-hammer picking style, which he learned listening to Ralph Stanley. The style incorporates a rhythm action that plays rhythm and lead at the same time. Although his main instrument is the banjo, Ed is also a talented flat-top guitar player. The old traditional, Spinning Wheel showcases his dynamic finger picking style on the acoustic guitar.
Hills of Rome, which he wrote during his three year stay in Italy, is an instrumental with a great melody. Like a free-running brook, the banjo tumbles delightfully, taking the listener through unexpected turns and rhythms. A French melody from the 18th Century served as inspiration for Richard's thoughtful `a capella' banjo arrangement which he has titled Father We Thank Thee.
1,000 Miles South another original composition, reflects his wistful feelings for his family's country home in DeQuincy, Louisiana.
For Ed, music is a common link, an evangelical tool, opening much-needed paths of communication between divergent religious groups. Through his music, he's enjoyed meeting and mingling with people from many backgrounds.
Customer Reviews:
great banjo pickin'!.......2002-05-15
This CD is one of my favorites and I keep it close by as I am driving. Track 1, Spinning Wheel, is beautiful, traditional music and very easy listening. I love that flattop style. But #3, Hills of Rome, is my favorite, because I love banjo picking. -JB
Great Catholic Bluegrass Music.......2002-05-01
About midway through 2001, I tuned into a Catholic Music website and selected a programme of Catholic Country Music. The first song was by Father Ed Richard called "Ocean of Mercy". This song pressed all the right buttons with me. I loved it and to cut a long story short I tracked down Father Ed and invited him to come to New Zealand to speak and sing at the Wellington Eucharistic Convention on 10 March 2002.
Fr Ed introduced us to Catholic Bluegrass and we were blown away.
Everybody loved his singing and banjo playing. What a great talent he has. His music get under your skin, the toes start tapping and you can't help but sing along.
"Jimmy Brown The Newsboy" contains a good mix of old and new material that brings together all that is good in the world of bluegrass in a well balanced and executed recording.
Father Ed is an accomplished exponent of the genre, being steeped in the culture of bluegrass music from birth and a virtuoso on the banjo and guitar.
Father Ed brought his bluegrass music to New Zealand and we love it. This a CD worthy of gracing any collection and one you will really enjoy.
