Product Description: After a three-year hiatus to catch up on life in her native Ontario, Kathleen Edwards has done nothing to separate herself from the small pool of North America's fast-rising songwriters, in which she is a deeply immersed member. Her third album continues her clear-minded, open-hearted lyricism, though with a ripeness that comes from years on the road and years more to reflect. Edwards remains in a tug-of-war with matters of the heart, and she's not afraid slyly to nudge the opposite side. "I'm a Ford Tempo (and) you're my Maserati," she sings in "I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory." It's a get-lost love song similar in tone to "The Cheapest Key," which finds the storyteller alphabetizing her romantic tribulations. Even the gorgeous melody of the title song is offset by the concession that a simple bouquet is not too much to ask in return. As the record's co-producer, Edwards has assembled a cracker-jack studio band (led by Heartbreakers' keyboardist Benmont Tench and pedal steel virtuoso Greg Leisz), and she turns it loose on "Oh Canada," a nod to her home nation, and "Oil Man's War," which speculates that a permanent trip to that country may be a viable alternative to life south of the border. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews
ASKING FOR FLOWERS by Kathleen Edwards
ASKING FOR FLOWERS by Kathleen Edwards is an excellent CD. Is it country? I don't know. I usually don't like country music. But I love this CD! Thank you Kathleen; I could listen to this CD over and over (and I do!)

Maybe her best yet
I loved Kathleen Edwards' previous albums, and I was a little concerned that this album wouldn't live up to my expectations. At first listen, my socks weren't knocked off; however, I left in in the CD player in my car and it hasn't been taken out yet...that was a month ago. KE's melodies and lyrics stick in my mind because they are so poignant and affecting. I didn't think it could happen, but I think I might like this album the best of KE's three.

Kathleen just keeps getting better...
From top to bottom this record is amazing. If you love great song-writing and great musicianship you will not be disappointed. Kathleen's not going to amaze anybody with vocal gymnastics, but she doesn't have to, she drives the songs perfectly by blending her voice seemlessly with the tracks being laid down by the band.
I bought this without hearing any of the songs, and was almost dreading opening it and playing it thinking it might be a letdown from Failer and Back to Me. But, upon popping it in the CD player I was hooked from the first song.
Take all the time you want Kathleen if you're going to keep making them like this.

Kathleen Edwards' best yet
Downloaded this today and just finished giving it a front to back listen. Outstanding. A nice mix of up-tempo tunes and slower more contemplative songs. I love Kathleen's voice- soft when she wants to be, pure, straight up, unaffected.
The last track, "Goodnight, California" is a Neil Young-esque thing of beauty.
