EDEN’S EDGE NEW ALBUM TICKET TO SUPERSTARDOM

EDEN’S EDGE ON THE VERGE
After reviewing Eden’s Edge’s debut album and chatting with them, it’s easy to predict this trio of wonderful singer/songwriters are on the verge of superstardom, already speeding up the on-ramp to get there thanks to their new album “Too Good To Be True.”
The reason for our optimism is this self-description from the group, “We started in Arkansas as a roots-driven band and our acoustic driven instrumentals and harmonies that’s a big part of who we are.”
What Cherril, Hannah and Dean say is true and what they’ve accomplished on their debut album is to take that potent mix of acoustic driven talent, and melded it with a mix of very accessible, contemporary songs that assures them a broad audience.
Fans have already embraced the debut, “Amen” and their “Too Good To Be True.” There are charming, slices of their rural roots like the sweetly provocative, “Skinny Dippin’” , that the girls say was the best way they had sometimes to cool off in the summer heat. “Who Am I Drinkin’ Tonight” is another example of a fresh approach to standard country themes, as is, “Last Supper,” a sad, passionate tale of goodbye at a restaurant, delivered by magnificent vocals. They close the album with a personal-sounding tip of the hat to their individual roots, “Christ Alone,” an a capella showcase of their raw talent as a harmony group.

MIRANDA LAMBERT WRITES #1 WITH HER NUMBER ONE GUY BLAKE

Miranda Lambert has topped the country singles chart for the fourth time in her career with her current single, “Over You.” Miranda wrote the emotionally charged song with her husband Blake Shelton which addresses the passing of Blake’s brother when he was a teenager. The song has been certified Gold, and is from her current album, Four The Record, which is also Gold.
On writing with her husband, Miranda says, “I think the key is we sort of pick and choose what we want to do together as artists because we don’t ever want the business to get in the way of our personal relationship. So when we write together, we kind of step away from being husband and wife, and we just become artists that respect each other. And it’s a really good relationship, and I think doing that every now and then and keeping it special is what makes it work.”
