Gilbert Gets It October 15, 1998
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

Vance Gilbert's Edgewise is a very listenable, drive-able CD. Good for boring drives in the car (especially Country-Western Rap). Although Mr. Gilbert won't win any awards for harrowing soulful sounds and deep, searching lyrics -- hey wait -- who wants to listen to THAT?pI'd rather listen to someone who has FUN with his work - Vance always has in concert and that shows in this CD.pGilbert clearly has decent vocal range and could do more meaningful work if he so desired...pBut then maybe there is meaning in the general celebration of life and we don't have do be bludgeoned to death with significance.pI will listen to this insignificant album ofter (when I need a rest from how important everything else is!)

Vance Gilbert offers a new dimension in folk music. October 15, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Edgewise, the debut CD by Vance Gilbert, introduces many new elements to the current folk scene. With obvious roots in jazz as well as '60 pop, Gilbert's song stylings bop and weave from giddy peaks to interspective valleys. Gilbert brings a near-classical guitar style to the art of folk guitar playing, enhancing song moods as if adding a musical soundtrack rather than merely accompanying the vocals. Lyrically - although Gilbert revisits the traditional forms of love song, self-pity song, and story song - startling new ground is broken. From the unusual-for-folk-genre prespective of an African American, Gilbert takes us from the hilariously ridiculous (Country Western Rap) to the sadly sublime (Good Cup of Coffee). But the element which stays with you the longest is that incredible voice. This CD demonstrates one of the most clear, beautiful voices in all of popular music today. Do yourself a big favor: buy this CD and play it often.
