Only Fender guitars and amps give him that signature sound. Mat Edwards\' main guitar is named "Ms. Ruby", a 1988 torino red American Standard Stratocaster (modified). Mat played all slide parts on a 1955 Guild X-50 dubbed \"Black Eyed Susan\" (Guild is owned by Fender). Edwards plays only through Fender amplifiers for that rich, fat sweeping tone. Reviews Fran Gray, Gods Of Music He sings like he lives it and plays like he means it. Mat Edwards puts on his whiskey, gravel voice for the bluesy woes of "Tom Coolidge." This particular track has the feel of modern blues-pop done in the Delta blues style where the sassy licks of an acoustic, slide guitar are softened by just a shot of reverb. The open sounding guitar progressions on this track bring these particular blues into the new millennium with just a dash of folk for flavoring. When he plays solo though, as he does on "Tom Coolidge," you can hear the heart of a true blues man. He sings like he lives it and plays like he means it. Whether cranky, mournful, raging or sad, blues are blues no matter how you color them. Edwards colors them with class. Bob Haunting vocals...catchy tunes...meaningful lyrics James Gumbert Mat has managed to capture that unique feeling of passion in music,. Being a blues fan, I have always been a big favorite of the simple, heartfelt, pain and joy of the music. Much of the material within this cd catches these feelings and takes the listener on a jaunt down memory lane, with subtle reminders of guitar legends Hendrix and Vaughn riffs woven in with playful melodies and soulful lyrics. It is a must for any Blues Lover. Read less....
