Ed Englerth’s ‘Restless Ghost’ rocks its way through 13 intelligent-folk-jazz-blues tunes. Ed’s band is in top form on this recording and Ed’s friend, Ray White (Frank Zappa Band & Zappa Plays Zappa), drops by to lend a hand too.
How does Englerth keep that continuity of sound while at the same time covering such a multiplicity of styles? Maybe it’s that rhythmic groove that runs through his songs. Whatever Ed’s magic touch is, one doesn’t have to understand how Ed does it to enjoy this great CD. . . . (and if you do understand how, all the better.)
Ed Englerth is a legend in this business. He has played music with; Ray White (Frank Zappa & Zappa Plays Zappa), Kenny Meeks (Sixpence None The Richer), Joe English (Paul McCartney & Wings), Robin Robbins (Bob Seger), John Lawry (Petra), Jan Krist, Ben Brown, Jim Cole, Aracely, Jim Earp, Scott Roley, Dave Perkins, Donny Hartman (Frost), Xalt, Armada, Linear Action Band, Aslan, Harvey Jet (Black Oak Arkansas) , and Earthen Vessel.
They said what about Ed?
“Where jazz, folk, blues and rock experimentation meet,. . .Englerth teams up with former Frank Zappa sideman Ray White for a slice of wry worldweariness possessed of inventive arrangements and sneaky hooks. . . . Good thing, that, by the way.” HM The Hard Music Magazine - Jamie Lee Rake
"Englerth’s masterful guitar playing, direct and unpretentious vocals, and thoughtful lyrics are increasingly impressive upon repeated listenings." S.T. Karnick – National Review Online.

Ed Englerth - SHAKE, RATTLE, and FOLK, and JAZZ and BLUES and More . . . SHAKE . . . Disturbing the warp and woof, shattering the serene, unnerving the unresponsive, rhythms that make you sweat. RATTLE . . . What awakens one from dreams, from that place of comfortable complacency? From the distillation of life in this world come the images from Ed. FOLK . . . Music that verbalizes attitudes and dimensions. Acoustic, it carries the energy from the power of the song rather than the power of the amplifier. JAZZ . . . Freedom to express from the long linage of the soul. BLUES. . . . Refuses to ignore hardship in this life and our response to it.. MORE…. Never ending.
As a pioneer in the Folk and Rock scene Ed played in 70s bands Aslan and Earthen Vessel. Today, Ed’s style is a mix of rock, folk, blues, jazz and experimental music. With intelligent song crafting he covers issues of skepticism, faith, social justice, love lost & love found, and the everyday struggles of life.
Ed has several recorded projects. The latest is “Restless Ghost.” Other CDs include, “D.I.A.L. Business", "The Ed Englerth Jazz Quartet", "Anything But Hope", "Live at the State Grounds Coffeehouse", "Little Bit Of Me Everywhere," "Rational?," and "PINGO”. He is also the founding member and songwriter for the band LAB (Linear Action Band). LAB’s recordings are currently out of print, but BlueSideDownStudios Recordings hopes to be able to re-release LAB material in the future.
