Ed Fram is an exciting songwriting talent from England. Like one of his greatest influences, Leonard Cohen, Fram comes onto the music scene having lived many lives up to now and started with poetry, before turning his hand to song.
Since releasing his music last year, Fram has become one of the most heavily featured folk artists on Amazing Radio (U.K. & U.S.A.), with thousands of airplays to date. His song That Kind of Beauty was quickly picked up and broadcast by BBC Radio also, where DJ Sarah Gosling described it as “catchy” and “so beautiful”.

Songs of Ed Fram
In the same way that Bob Dylan drew inspiration from his musical idol Woody Guthrie at the start of his career, in this debut album Ed Fram leaves us in no doubt about who he admires most lyrically. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Fram’s tribute song to Dylan at 80, From London to Duluth (the towns being their respective birthplaces). Fram’s lyrics are fittingly coupled with a stripped back acoustic sound throughout the album, which should appeal to fans of Cohen and Dylan’s work alike. The album also includes Heathen Heights of Hades as bonus material. This song is the album’s longest at over six minutes and is perhaps its most hauntingly powerful. Each of the tracks featured on the album Songs of Ed Fram have been created in collaboration with Peter Gaines, music director for CustomAnthems Music Productions, a leading production company based in the U.K.. The album’s cover art was painted by Ross Foster, a highly regarded London-based impressionist and is his interpretation of a photograph taken at Watts Gallery Artists’ Village in Surrey, England. |
