I love Ed Bruce and all of these so-called “forgotten” artists! I’d rather listen to them than most of today’s country. I don’t understand why Nashville has 3 top 40 country radio stations and not one classic country (FM) station! So many cities around the country play classic country but not the city where most of this music was created! It’s a shame!

Ed Bruce was probably the 2nd most underappreciated,and underrated country singer in history.2nd to the legendary Vern Gosdin.I love his music,he has close to a perfect country voice.

There are so many forgotten great artists out there and Ed Bruce is definitely one of them.

If anyone is interested in checking out some other greats like Ernest Tub, Frank Arnett, and other rare or forgotten American artists, check out Lost Gold Records at http://www.lostgoldmusic.com

Ed Bruce was one of my favorites in the 70’s and 80’s, along with Don Williams. Similar voices and range, but Ed was a more soulful singer. Great speaking voice also–did voice-overs for many commercials.

“This Old Hat” is worth getting. “The Feel Of Being Gone” and “Growing Up” are worth the price alone. There’s a great clip on YouTube of Ed singing “My First Taste Of Texas”. It’s from the RFD TV programs Bill Anderson hosted last year. Old and new Ed Bruce fans will both enjoy it.

Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis L’Amour has told us his tale
And Willie and Waylon and me sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

I’ve always loved that verse. Thanks for the write-up, Paul.

Yep, it’s worth getting, Leeann.

CD Baby also has a couple gospel albums called Changed and Sings About Jesus recorded in the past few years. Haven’t checked those out yet.
