Ed Stallman's playing is just incredible. He is a true world-class player who delivers amazingly intricate, tasteful, grooves in each and every one of his instrumentals. When we think of guitar solos, we tend to think of cryptic riffs that are great to hear but hard to remember. Stallman is different. I can actually recall the melodies and I can sing along with his guitar riffs in the car! Stallman's mastery of blues/jazzy and funky guitar is second to nobody. Add to this some fabulous studio production - and you have it all. His album is a great example of a great guitar player, with rhythm to burn and an imagination to match.

Easy listening with a slight edge
Jammin' Instrumentals!
This is easy listening with a slight edge. Just right for a laid back evening. For the guitarists out there, this man knows how to play it! Awesome command performances as a musician! Most of us guitarists wish we were this smooth. If you like music for the sake of music to listen to, then you'll enjoy Ed Stallman.

You're an AWESOME guitar player! I just
listened to several songs on your Sounclick page. Love it that you are
versatile and can play different styles with ease. I am a Blues fanatic,
so I paid particular attention to the Blues tracks on your page. Loved
them all. Great work!!!

From the Editor
San Diego, Calif., guitarist and keyboardist Ed Stallman deftly blends the music of divergent cultures. His combination of Texas blues and soul, along with a splash of Latin jazz, is soothing, deep, and electric. It's meant for hot summer nights near crystal blue waters.
