Search - Edward Groves :: Jolly Road

Jolly Road is a compendium of songs that spans everything from a walk through a small town to a warning sign about protecting our basic freedoms. With those wildly talented guys from the roots band Steppin? In It, the music embraces a simple song with a moving penny whistle solo (I went to see your Mother) to an all-out swinging blues (I talked to the Mother of Jesus) that supports a shaking-your-fist-at-the-heavens commentary. Jolly Road is a great CD to listen to with headphones and an excellent diversion in the car. The songwriting combines John Prine, James Taylor, and Steve Earle in an effort that allows Edward to talk even further about cats and gardening and leaving home. "There aren?t any songs on this CD about cats?there should have been." ? EG
