Edwin Morris

See what independent Song reviewer Steve Jones Has to say About this album:

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 familial 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.
