Remember how Tom Petty’s seminal ‘Damn the Torpedoes’ album instantly grabbed you with its classic rock salvo, “Refugee”? Well, it’s no exaggeration to compare that with Edgehill Avenue’s CD-opener (& title-track), “Rambler”, an Hammond organ-rich, Neil Young-meets-Bottle Rockets gem that serves as an excellent introduction to a disc of riveting roots rock of the 1st order. Hailing from Louisville, KY, the 5-member Edgehill Avenue are much at home with Allman Brothers-style Southern Rock  (“Don’t Come  Around Here Anymore”, “How You Really Feel”), but also display a more-than-able touch with country-rock balladry (“I’ll Be Leaving Now”, “Out of Time”). Elsewhere, “With These Hands” is reminiscent of R.E.M.’s “Driver 8”, & “Just Don’t Care Anymore”, with its honky tonk piano backing, feels like Blue Rodeo at their rocking best. Regardless of style, though, ‘Rambler’ is nothing less than a seamless & compelling mix of well-crafted & equally well-played (think Petty’s Heartbreakers or the E Street Band ensembles as models) Americana-inspired classic rock.
  
Village Records (July 13, 2009)


The spirit of Springsteen’s epic song “The River” is conjured repeatedly...and Edgehill Avenue pulls it off splendidly. “With These Hands” is as catchy as a Tom Petty hit...the voice of Drew Perkins reminds one of a less affected Steve Earle." 
Jonathan Ashley, Louisville Eccentric Observer (Mar 25, 2009) 

Swirling in Hammond organ and countrified blues rock, Edgehill Avenue instantly draw you in to their down-home, soulful, folksy, Americana southern-rock...will satisfy more than a handful of Black Crowes fans...a very retro feel and wouldn't be out of place on an Allman Brothers album." 
Dirty Rock Magazine, Dirty Rock Magazine UK (Jun 15, 2009) 

"This a perfect summer party record. Best served with friends & drinks. For music lovers Edgehill Avenue brings you blues,country and rock 'n' roll with damn fine class." 
  Andy Flash, Spinechained (Sweden) (Jun 03, 2009) 

"Dense with bold Southern rock-style anthems, Allman Brothers-like swirling jams, and jangly countrified folk-rock-Rambler is powerful, memorable music...inhabits a unique spot at the crossroads where heady jams meet down-home roots rock...this is a band I would love to see and hear perform." 
Chip Withrow, musesmuse.com (Apr 20, 2009) 

"On Rambler, you get a piping-hot stew of southern rock, blues, folk, and country, served up in generous portions, that kicks you in the pants one song, then buys you a drink on the next...throughout the work, we get crisp, dead-on-target musicianship from the entire lineup." 
  Tim Roberts, Louisville Music News (Mar 01, 2009)

a cool cocktail of Americana...
 
 Powerplay Magazine UK (Aug, 2009)

...a well-performed, well-produced album that blends Blues, Southern, and a touch of Jazz here and there to complete an overall grassroots sound...a lot of soul to the playing.
