For this review The Bluegrass Connection has a Country CD
We just couldn't pass on this opportunity to present a great country artist and song writer to you.

Ed Bruce "This Old Hat"
(Review by Robin D)

Old Hat Productions
CD-11055

Ed Bruce's career spans many years and is spattered with accomplishments that many in the music business only dream about. For those of you who may not recognize Ed's name immediately try "Mamma's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys", to joggle your memory.

With the exception of two songs, Ed had his hand in writing all of the songs on this CD. If you are looking for straight ahead country music then look no further you have found it right here. Ed has a clear distinct voice and delivers his music such that anyone would enjoy listening. Many of the songs contained here are the type that are played over and over again on the Juke Box at your local bars and restaurants.

Even though I enjoy listening to Ed sing the addition of harmony singers would be welcomed on certain cuts. As far as instrumentation, one has the feeling that there are machines backing him up in lieu of real musicians. That may not be the case but it sure gives one the feeling that it may be.

If you like watching TNN, country dancing, playing favorites on the Juke Box then this CD will be a nice addition to your collection.

The Bluegrass Connection(tm), is the second Bluegrass Music site created on the World Wide Web. Our mission, design and concept was developed during 1994 and The Bluegrass Connection website was introduced on the Internet during 1995 and presented at the 1995 IBMA in Owensboro, Kentucky.

During our early years The Bluegrass Connection would highlight a particular band or artist for a period of time on our homepage. As a result, many bands were able to reach out to their fans and introduce themselves to new audiences quickly. Due to many inquiries and requests to bring that feature back, we are seriously considering a "featured band" on our homepage again.
