A Little Psychotherapy Needed: Old Blind Dogs and "Edward"

Today's song gets to some dysfunctional family dynamics in a murder ballad called Edward by the Old Blind Dogs. Old Blind Dogs were formed in 1990 when the three founding members met on a "buskers holiday" in the Scottish Highlands. The band was originally distinctive as it represented the music and traditions of Northeastern Scotland and sang in the dialect of Aberdeen and the region. The band focuses on traditional Scottish and Celtic music, with influences from rock, reggae, jazz, blues and Middle Eastern rhythms. Edward can be found (as Edward) on their 1999 CD The World's Room, and as Young Edward on their 2005 CD Old Blind Dogs Play Live.
