First solo release of Texas songwriter Ed Morales. Evocative lyrics set the tone for this cross between folk, organic rock and ballad poetry. For Listeners looking to be taken back to another place in time, Ed delivers songs that stir up the heart, mind and soul. The foundation is simple; a guitar, drums, bass, keys and vocals, rooted in a style that was grown on the Texas-Mexico border in the 70's & 80's. Add in arrangements that balance tone and mood, and the result are songs that evoke a common message we've all experienced. The secret is in the simplicity. It is precisely here where the listener connects to the music. Without digging too deep, the universal themes rise to the top: Life, struggle, love, God and all the relationships in between. Memorable from the first note, it quickly becomes obvious that this music is going to stay with you. "This music is from the heart, as well as brain gravy for the mind." Pat Jones - SA News "The man's music and words dovetail into a seamless, interesting intelligent whole." Jim Beal - Express News "Thinking Man's Heart is a thought provoking, musically masterful album." Mike Hood, Current
