Some people are born to entertain. It is in their blood, their DNA or their genes. Eden Brent is one of these special musicians. Born in Mississippi, this lady from the south is one of the most talented musicians and singer songwriters I have ever come across. She strikes me as one of those very hospitable people that would say: Come on in, stay a while, I'll make some ice tea (or whatever) and we can sit at the kitchen table and catch up on life. However, sit her in front of a piano and she is in her comfort zone! Eden can belt out the blues with the throwback style of Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey with a little bit of Janis Joplin peppered in. One of those people you could listen to all night long.
Her first recording was Mississippi Number One on Yellow Dog Records. In a word: Great. The latest recording is aptly named: Ain't Got No Troubles? It definitely has a New Orleans flavor to it, just lots of great music and vocals. Her piano chops are first rate. The sultry voice is icing on the cake. I urge you to listen to Eden. She will bring a smile to your face and a hop in your step.
