EDD LIVELY REVIEW

Review: Edd Lively and The Movers

        Texas has brought us Johnny Copeland, Long John Hunter, Larry Davis, Stevie Ray and Double Trouble, Fabulous Thunderbirds, and now Edd Lively and the Movers and their debut CD "How Can I Rock You". Appropriately named, as this band can and does play effective funk, R&B, classical slide and the famous Texas shuffle. From the R&B sounds on "Mess Me Around", slide guitar on"Prescription of the Blues" to Texas shuffle on "So Sad So Blue"; this band covers a full spectrum of blues sound. All members of the band are veterans, cutting their teeth througout the years with bar gigs, different bands, and the seemingly endless nights of wondering when the big break was going to come. Their break is now. This cd is it.
        The talented Edd Lively proves himself as an inventive, talented, and hardworking singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Combining these talents with those of Willie Smith on guitar, Ed Stradley on drums, Randy Cates on bass, and Tommy Young on the Hammond B3 organ; the winning combination is all here.
       The CD starts off with a funky tune "Texas Women" which is in tribute to all the women of the Lone Star state. Just the beginning, however of what delights lay ahead in the rest of this release. With songs such as "Be True to Yourself", "So Sad So Blue", and the title track "How Can I Rock You," it keeps your toes tapping and your emotions in anticipation of what's next. Their version of Amos Milburn "Bad,Bad Whiskey and Jimmy Reed's "It's a Sin" are tastefully done, with a clear, distinctive, personalized stamp. I expect to hear a lot more from this very talented band. This debut is just a taste of things to come.
