Rise & Shine

(April, 2002) 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.

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)
