5 out of 5 stars Fun Tunes from Fun People.......1999-09-11

This CD is fun and light-hearted music from a band that was a true delight to see live. I miss their gigs which always drew a crowd of people to dance, sing along, and laugh. In the years since I bought this CD, it has kept my fiance and I entertained on several cross-country drives and makes me smile whenever I slide it into my stereo. My favorites are "The Princess and the Horseman of the Apocalpse...(aka "the Unicorn Song"), "New Jersey", "I Met a Man", "Green Glass", "Driving on 9", "Swiss Chard", and "Calypso on the Beach". I even bought a tee-shirt at one of the gigs with the cover art and lyrics to all the songs... (sniff!) I miss Ed's :(

5 out of 5 stars Prepare to transcend the mundane..........1999-07-01

Transcending the mundane with its own devices.. I can think of no better way to describe the music of Ed's Redeeming Qualities. A quaint mix of folk, blues, alternative, with a dash of country, Ed's eschews the "standards" of these genres by REFUSING to embrace an over-reliance on percussion. It's impossible to describe how wonderful it is to hear Carrie's breathy expositions without some drug-crazed, slack-jawed wacko banging away arythmically on a snare in the background. Though one might find their music merely light-hearted, the jovial demeanor is really a veneer; what lies below is the stuff that we all struggle with in some form or another; death, love, ambition, finding beauty in ordinary flies in a blue light. For me, this is not party music; this music is for quiet introspection in a dark room with an alcoholic beverage in my hand, contemplating insecurities, failures, and hope for the future.
