Trail Dust Concert

It seems that every time I see The Desert Sons and Don Edwards they get better. This time they took it to a new level. The harmonies, performances and arrangements of The Desert Sons were impeccable. When their new disc of all original material is released I have no doubt it will a contender for the best album in it's genre.

Don Edwards has not only gotten better as a singer and performer but the comfort and joy with which he plays his music is unmatched by anyone I have ever seen. I talked to him after the show and told him that, without being too poetic, his performance was like "watching a dream". What I was trying to describe in retrospect, is that what he was doing seemed to transcend the reality in which he performed it.

I asked him if he had experienced a "deepening of faith" recently. He said not so much a deepening of faith as just really appreciating and enjoying everything more as he was getting older....especially the songs he sings. He said that the songs he does are connected to something real and not songs that were designed to make money. So, songs are now being rediscovered and enjoyed like never before.

It shows. Don't miss a chance to see this man or The Desert Sons.
