Description
The follow up album to "The One and 99" (1999), Texas singer/songwriter Ed Morales takes his listeners to the next level with Apple & Thorns - a collection of songs that honestly depict the inward natural struggle and the spiritual redemptive power of grace.
Eds simple songs portray a seemingly complex beauty and linger - close to the heart - inviting listeners to come in and share. His lyrics paint a picture of the man who has emerged on the other side of a long journey. The unmistakably spiritual lyrics are not easily forgotten and call his audience toward personal reflection - a talent hard to come by in todays disposable world.
Morales has taken expressive acoustic and electric guitar, and imbued it with an emotional, plaintive vocal quality that seems to aim for a transparency with the listener. Gifted in the art of live performance, his musicality, harmony and emotional range point back to earlier influences -McCartney, Petty and Henley. Yet his thoughtful arrangements prove elusive to those that might simply file his work under basic rock. This is an art-infused collection reminiscent of classic AOR- it makes for a memorable live show, and for great headphone music in your CD changer or iPod.
The secret is in the simplicity. It is precisely here where the listener connects to the music.
About Ed Morales
Ed Morales is no stranger to the music world; he has fronted no less than four bands in the past two decades, and has had successful solo releases as well; the fruits of his songwriting have received praise and recommendation from noted names such as: Billboard, CMJ, Performance Magazine and Cross Rhythms; and his works merited rotation on dozens of radio stations from California to Massachusetts, from the Americas to Europe.
"Morales' music is kind of turbo-charged electro-acoustic music. It rocks, but doesn't hit the listeners over the head with a brick. The man's music and words dovetail into a seamless, interesting intelligent whole."
Jim Beal, San Antonio Express News
This is classic American pop rock ... Ed Morales has done an excellent job in creating music with a strong message and solid production, these are catchy songs that have something significant to say. Mike Rimmer - Crossrhythms Magazine issue 55
