Free Music Notes for Poor Folks Stick Together: The Best of Stoney Edwards
Free Music Review: A forgotten star
Hit: 5 Stars
Here is an underrated country performer, if there ever was one. Stoney had a voice that was just a natural progression from his biggest influence, Lefty Frizzel. Best of all, Stoney was a true, no BS, redneck who let the chips fall where they may. The honesty and experience in his voice is seldom found in music; especially in today's country music. There are 20 fine numbers here, including his biggest hit, "Two Dollar Toy". Also included are: "Jimmie Rodgers Blues", a song that makes Merle Haggard look like a two-bit street performer; "The Fishin Song", a comedic bit in the vein of Roger Miller; "Dont Be Angry", a fine cover of Stonewall Jackson. There's some true, hardcore, no-punches-pulled honky tonkin' here as well, such as "The Cute Little Waitress", "Head Bootlegger Man", and "Honky Tonk Heaven". However, in my opinion, the finest cut is "I Bought The Shoes (That Just Walked Out on Me)". This is a superb album by a superb artist; I dont need to tell you that after listening to this (and other true Country Music) you'll never again waste your time with the plastic dribble coming out of Nashville today. A+
Poor Folks Stick Together: The Best of Stoney Edwards Poster
As a talented black country-singer recording on the heels of Charley Pride's success, Stoney Edwards deserved better than just three minor Top 40 country hits. These disappointing results can be explained away, perhaps, by the inferior songs he often recorded, but more likely Edwards's career was hampered because he never laughed away his blackness the way Pride did. On this solid 20-song set, Edwards--whose voice was similar to Pride's, though a bit more nasal and with plenty of Lefty Frizzell-inspired vibrato--is great when his songs are great: "Blackbird," a No. 41 hit that includes the then-shocking line about "a couple of country niggers," and "Hank and Lefty Raised My Country Soul" remain among the greatest-ever country music singles. --David CantwellCountry Music CDs
