Kathleen Edwards – Asking For Flowers #5-2008

Released; March 4 2008 under Zoë Records.

Kathleen Edwards have delivered a beautiful set of songs. Listen to «Alicia Ross», which is a song with lyrics based on actual events, expressed by Edwards in such a sincere way. But before that she has opened with three strong pieces. I admit; I like her voice [actually, I love her voice], but alongside that, she makes music that I fall for - it’s among the music that I really like.

«Buffalo» is a sweet, calm song with Kathleen weaving words that make out the story. The second one «The Cheapest Key» is faster, lighter – more upbeat. But already on the title-track Edwards is back to what she does best, telling stories about more quiet, hushed moments in life.

And then comes «Alicia Ross»...
