edith has created a venue for herself to exorcise melancholic memories with painful melodies. there are no disguises on this collection. lonesome guitars and medicinal piano radiate the mood of broken spirits. she writes all her own songs. these ballads are definite reminders of those unbearable moments we all have to live. they are all gray sky, secluded,isolating tunes. i envision a ironical pace. i thought she was from chicago, millions and millions of people, and she sings stark loneliness

Its a Game and Calling over Time are Edith Frost's best music. There are years between the two albums but the kinship is very very close. Each song on Its a Game will transport you to the world of sweet repose. Much like a summer or autumn friendship that simply fades this music is so hauntingly familiar to the feelings that linger after the time has left you in a state of misty eye wonder.
Thanks to Edith for writing so candid and for the music arrangements that are simply perfect for her songs. Again thanks for the kinship and this is highly recommended.

Let's say you're a friend of Edith Frost's and you're out with her having a good time at the state fair since she needs a day away and someone to talk to because she can't withstand the pain and fire of heartbreak alone. The wind gently brushes everyone's hair as the sun takes it's time setting over the rides and the kids having fun and there's Edith with your ear, disclosing some of her deepest emotions and longings. Hearing those things is one of the saddest things about being alive but feeling them through her is also one of the most exhilarating.

This scenario may not be the case with most listeners but it'll feel that way less than a minute into her new album "It's A Game". This vivid and utterly engaging journal of romance, heartbreak and the general musings in between and the careful buoyancy she gives each and every story will bring tears to your eyes if you let them. Edith makes some of the saddest most beautiful country music around. The best way to describe it would be that if you went into an old house and slowly ventured into the light colored living room they all have and noticed the slew of family portraits that are always there circling the room. If you pan around like in the movies, you'll come upon Edith's picture....and there she'll be smiling, and in an instant you'll know how special she truly is and how beautiful her voice must be.
