How do you write a thousand words on Ed Askew when his music evokes a sea of them? As his pal Jay Pluck said before Askew died last year: “Ed was a brave gay songwriter from the beginning & I hope more come to know this.” I hope so, too. May this be the first feature of many – lord knows it’s time

Happy release day to the wonder that is Ed Askew: whose musical life began with the 10-stringed tiple in the 1950s & ended with his death last year, aged 84, on the verge of releasing this final record. I wrote all about him here – give it a read: listen to the music, spread the word:

#NewMusicFriday 🧵 Ed Askew, 'The Final Painting' Dreamy songs with an uncommon beauty. It's as if, even as his health declined, Askew could hear new colors in his music. The arrangements shimmer with his unmistakably shaky voice. edaskew.bandcamp.com/album/the-fi...

An album that should appeal to longtime fans of Hurley's weathered leather folk forms. A singular voice; part town square truth teller, part vaudeville spell caster. His songs ramble though grassy blues, tied up with burn pile smoke and sweet breezes, while retaining a studio charm. bit.ly/3KB3PM6
