5.0 out of 5 stars Ed's Best Work, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

Of all of Ed's recordings, this is the most emotional and melodic. I have Luna and Night Birds as well, but this one is the cd I keep going back to. If you don't play guitar, after hearing this, you'll want to! You absolutely will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exquisitely Performed Collection of Love Songs, August 1, 1998

By A Customer

"Counting the Ways" is an exquisitely performed collection of well-known love songs. Ed Gerhard is a master of the acoustic guitar, combining impeccable technique with a tenderly intimate expression of his music. The only way to more fully appreciate Ed's genius is to listen to a CD of his original pieces. This man is truly an acoustic poet!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite, October 31, 2000

By	Guitar Player - See all my reviews

I'd like to add my A+++ review to Mr. Gerhard's list of five star raves. He combines a natural guitar sense with fine technique and elegant arrangements. One piece in particular stands out for me. Ed's arrangement of "The Water Is Wide" is absolutely stunning in its beauty and simplicity. It reminds me of why I became a guitarist. Do yourself a favor and add this to your CD collection then visit his web site to find out where he's playing next. I've seen him perform and you won't be disappointed.
