Comments About Edwin Morris' recent performance.

Edwin Morris returned to public life on 3rd July 2008.

His stage presentation was great even going to the trouble of having his family make beautiful burgundy curtains for a backdrop.

I play his CD "Lets Make the World a Better Place" quite often both at my venue and on the radio. It reflects the personality of the man who wrote and sings these meaningful songs. The audience laps up every word.

Edwin Morris is certainly contributing to society and the music industry making a better place for us all.

I don't often open my venue on a Thursday night but I made an exception for Edwin. He is proudly returning in August for another show.

I recently had the opportunity to hear Edwin live at Brookfield in Margate Tasmania. The theme of the evening was “nostalgia” and Ed did a terrific job with his ability to respond to requests from the audience over a broad spectrum of works.

The sincerity and underlying faith structure that Ed brings to his compositions in his recently released collection is what allows me to appreciate the message he is speaking to his audience.

The message of love and hope always brings joy.

Comments About Edwin Morris' Performance

This is what independent song reviewer Steve Jones has to say :

As the title suggests, "Let's Make The World A Better Place" is a collection of songs that offer hope and a gentle calling through wise eyes, a soft heart and a strong, yet passive voice that knowingly tells of an achievable view of a peaceful world. By presenting a near conceptual premise that laments modern life long lost to the madness of technology, corrupt social and family morals, and the environmental decline of our planet, Edwin Morris retains a positive outlook through the observant use of straightforward paradigms. Using the basic craft of country-folk music as a foundation, it's by then extending these two oft-simplistic genres to include catchy hints of 'sixties pop', Good Old Days, and a song that sits on the cusp of a familiar Beatles tune, What Can You Do, that adds further interest: while songs such as On The Bridge takes on the edgy, narrative styling of Redgum and Ghostwriters, and Past, Present And Future skirts closer towards neo-punk territory. All up, with twenty-two songs that clock in at just under eighty minutes. It's by engaging such variety, together with Morris' plucky sense of wording and conviction and adept musicianship from all involved, that makes this album a worthy addition for all those who believe that a unified world is possible through the power of love and music.

Edwin Morris' "Let's make the World a Better Place" is an album that deserves to
be heard. Mr. Morris sings from his heart, and in his voice can be heard not only the sweet melody of an optimist who understands that with God all things are possible, but that of a realist who knows that the world has rejected God for the most part and is headed down the path to destruction. Like the prophets of old, Edwin Morris has a message, a
message that he proclaims through beautiful music and godly lyrics. "Let's Make the World a Better Place" is not just an album filled with melodic tunes,
harmonious voices and catchy lyrics, it is a powerful witness filled with Biblical admonishment, Christ like love and a purity that is not often heard in these last days.

The songs I like are: Thats what friends are for, Good old days. My sweetheart, What can you do, Once upon a time, the simple life, the old fashioned way, peacemaker, we will survive, sunrise songs, also On the Bridge, but wanted to ask you who Horacio Cocyles is? :) The songs are so thoughtful and honest, I feel like I can relate to the descriptions of the world and wanting to be separate.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the sample songs. I just listened to all of them. The songs remind me of the 70's, Keith Green, Randy Stonehill, 2nd Chapater of Acts, and others I cannot think of right now. The messages then were good, strong messages. Yours seem to be the same.
It was at that time that my husband and I wanted to be part of a community. Our lives were so simple then. Many times I long for what we had back then. I have told many friends that and I guess they think I am kind of kooky. Life just catches up (technology etc) and speeds past us so fast that we dont even know it.
I pray that God will bless this endeavor of yours.......
