KENNY EDWARDS
Resurrection Road
Given his rich résumé of support stints with the cream of Southern California’s singer-songwriter brigade (including Linda Ronstadt, Andrew Gold, Karla Bonoff and Wendy Waldman), it’s a little surprising that Kenny Edwards has been content to reside in the shadows until now. It took nearly 40 years for him to record his first solo album, and another seven for this wonderful follow-up. Resurrection Road is worth the wait. The title track is a weathered ramble augmented by mandolin and fiddle, and the rest of the set follows suit, its amiable and unassuming back-porch musings reflecting a lifelong journeyman’s quiet resolve.
