A must buy album!
author: Kjell Horlin

Lots of CD's comes my way each month and I am very pleased to put a CD like this in my player. No need to skip some tracks, very great country music from the first track to the last. You get it all here: uptempo stompers, shuffles, tearjerking ballads all penned by W. C. Edgar himself who sings with a real country voice not far from Merle Haggard when he goes down deep... Don't let this CD stay out of your collection if you like real hard core country music! Kjell Horlin, MCWC Country Radio Sweden




Review from Take Country Back Internet Radio

WC Edgar moved to Nashville in 1989 to become an artist. He wound up playing steel guitar for top artists who include Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Ty England, Marty Haggard, BB Watson, LeRoy Van Dyke, Dale Watson  and Opryland USA.  He counts among his friends, other artists that include Tracy Lawrence and Daryle Singletary with whom he learned the ropes of the business. WC, who admittedly doesn't play by Nashville's rules, is now looking for his own deal that includes a guest turn by his friend Daryle Singletary. WC Edgar writes all his own songs that fall into the traditional country vein, drenched in stone country fiddle and weeping steel, and he possesses a deep, rich baritone very reminiscent of that of his friend Daryle Singletary or Trace Adkins. Two of the songs revolve around heartache. "Vegas" has an uptempo two-stepping melody that belies it's melancholy tale of a down-on-his-luck rodeo cowboy mourning his lost love. The swaying shuffle, "Mirrors Don't Lie" is an aching ballad of heartbreak and regret over a shattered relationship. The third song, "Red, White & Black" is a mid-tempo patriotic song, minus the chest thumping jingo-ism that the more recent spate of 'patriotic' songs have leaned towards, and this one instead makes a case for unity plus there's nine more great WC Edgar penned songs on the new CD entitled "Alcohol of Fame".  WC Edgar's songs are well written country songs that easily stand up with the best of anything that came out of the neo-traditionalist era from artists like George Strait, Randy Travis, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Lawrence and even WC's good friend Daryle Singletary. He also possesses a voice that can easily match any of them and he's an extremely accomplished musician. He's thus far had a bit of success in that some radio stations picked up the cut "Mirrors Don't Lie." Let's hope it's the first step towards WC getting that deal, because he's an artist well worthy of being heard by a far greater audience.
