Rapid Transit
(released October 1, 2008)

The binding theme of this all-instrumental project was to keep it traditional sounding, but with added twists and hooks to augment interest. “More Blues For Carter” expands a theme from A.P. Carter’s “Carter’s Blues.” “Haystack Rag” is a polka in a bluegrass groove, whereas “Big E’s Polka” is as oom-pah as it gets. Eddie plays banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass. Mike Montgomery helps out on fiddle and Billy Bright: adds some hot mandolin. Amy Collins plays flute on "Angeline The Baker." An ideal rapid transit system should provide you with quick travel when needed, but also intereting out-of-the-way destinations. Hop on board and enjoy the ride!

Rise and Shine, by Eddie Collins

 


Rise & Shine

Nationally recognized author/instructor of 5-string banjo and acoustic guitar styles, Eddie makes a statement of simplicity - using only guitar, banjo and voice to summon a musical feeling that'll have you willing to Rise and Shine on the dreariest of mornings. (Released April 2002.)

Testimonials

"...full of entertaining material...even old tunes take on a new life... Collins' vocals are warm, with a pleasing resonance - occasionally reminiscent of John Hartford's mellow stylings. This CD is pleasurable listening."
--Eddie and Martha Adcock

"...unpretentious music that draws the listener in. It reminds me not so much of a fancy banquet as an enjoyable, satisfying breakfast with friends at your favorite local diner."
--Pete Wernick (Dr. Banjo)

Guitar Slingers & Texas Music

A respected author of banjo instruction, Eddie sets aside the 5-string and returns to his guitar and songwriting roots. The flavor of songs ranges from the blues of Jimmie Rogers to Bob Wills style swing. While true slinging is kept to a minimum to protect the innocent, many of the songs were first written as guitar instrumentals with lyrics aded later to fit the essence of the tune. (Released November, 1998.)
