Ed Trickett
Echo on the Evening Tide
ACCD-9901

Ed Trickett has been collecting old and new songs since his high school days. He presents 14 of the best on this solo recording; it's been over 15 years since his last solo release. He is accompanied by Cathy Barton, Dave Para, and Harry Tuft.

Ed's taste in and approach to presenting folk music was shaped by Frank Proffitt, Larry Older, Bob and Evelyn Beers, George and Gerry Armstrong, and Howie Mitchell. Each combined a love of traditional music with an enthusiasm for spreading it around. Since that time Ed has been collecting traditional songs and writing songs that show his appreciation of traditional music. Playing 6- and 12-string guitar, hammered dulcimer, and piano, his repertoire ranges from traditional ballads to songs of the sea, labor songs, songs of love, and parodies. He has appeared several times on Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion. He has recorded with Cathy Barton and Dave Para, Gordon Bok and Ann Mayo Muir, Don McLean, Rosalie Sorrels, Mark Spoelstra, and Sally Rogers.
