Ed Maly - Best Kept Secrets

This CD seems to go by real fast, which is usually the first indication of a good recording. Time flies when you're having fun and never does the shoe fit better than when you listen to Ed Maly. "Best Kept Secrets" opens with three covers from his band's live set, and then delivers the creative goods with new songs. Ed's shows a quirky sense of humor on "Mr. Ed", "Give Me Back My Rib", and "Hound Dog Cat", while demonstrating diversity on vocals and music styles throughout the album. There's many churnin' and burnin' blues-rockers on this CD as Ed Maly cuts loose on his original compositions. It must be said, the dude does a very good job on the cover tunes as well.
