Ed Askew - Rainy Day Songs
ASKEW, ED: Rainy Day Song CD (SGR 002CD)
"Rainy Day Song is the first release of new Ed Askew material since Ed Askew/Ask the Unicorn (ESP-Disk, 1968). The scarcity of commercially available Ed Askew albums belies an artist in perpetual bloom -- painter and songwriter poet. After graduating from Yale Art School in 1966, Ed began teaching art in New Haven and shortly thereafter released his eponymous debut (later re-named Ask the Unicorn). Ed Askew recorded a follow up called Little Eyes that ESP-Disk chose, for unknown reasons, not to release (This album was finally issued on CD in 2007 by De Stijl Records). And now forty years have passed since the original ESP-Disk release and Ed Askew has a formidable backlog of unreleased music. Rainy Day Song, his most recent work, was recorded in the summer of 2007 in New York City, where Ed has lived since moving there from New Haven in the 1980s. He says: 'When I start a song it's a kind of virgin situation. There are certain things I do and I have my character like everybody has their character. But I believe on some level that it comes from nothing -- there are certain things you do -- but in a sense: who does it?' Lyrically, Askew bears a striking resemblance to Paul Goodman, the mid-20th century New York City poet, novelist, gestalt psychologist, and anarchist social theorist. Like Goodman's poetry, Askew's lyrics shift effortlessly from contemplative abstraction to political tirades, from naturalist landscapes to graphic descriptions of urban street life, from childhood vignettes to tales of gay romance-conveyed in language that's at once elegant and conversational. Also like Goodman, Askew displays (in both his lyrics and his music) a stubborn indifference to contemporary fashion. If that's what makes Askew's music such a hard sell for current labels and commercial audiences, it's also the source of its timelessness. Whether you choose to listen to it now or wait for the next round of 'reissues' forty years from now, this is music that will endure." --David Shirley

Biography

An enigma even by the ultra-obscure standards of ESP-Disk Records, next to nothing is known about outsider folksinger Ed Askew. Although Askew has been recording songs since the late '60s, only one album has ever been released, 1969's Ask the Unicorn. A solo recording, the album features Askew accompanying himself on the ten-stringed lute-like acoustic instrument the tiple. A Latin instrument Askew discovered as a teenager because his ukulele-playing father owned one, the tiple quickly became a passion for Askew. While studying art at Yale in the mid-'60s, Askew began performing at local poetry readings, and soon incorporated the tiple into his act. Because the tiple is a difficult instrument, with the player having to press down hard on three tightly wound strings at once to get any sound, Askew's early material has a unique and oddly strained vocal quality that comes from the difficulty of singing while playing such a demanding instrument. After graduating from Yale and getting a teaching job in New York, Askew sent a demo tape to Bernard Stollman of the ultra-noncommercial ESP-Disk, possibly the most legendary indie label of the '60s; with his unique but attractive sound, Askew was quickly invited to record an album for the label. Easily one of the most bizarre and wonderful albums ever released by ESP-Disk, Ask the Unicorn is a psychedelic folk masterpiece, like the Holy Modal Rounders jamming with Alexander "Skip" Spence. A second album, Little Eyes, was recorded for ESP-Disk in 1970, but although it got as far as a test pressing, the label was beginning to run out of money and the album was never released. In most cases, that would be that, but while pursuing a career as a painter and poet, Askew sporadically kept up his performing career in New Haven and Boston during the '70s. Though he has never released anything commercially since Ask the Unicorn, his homemade tapes are traded on the fringe music underground. His recent music has included harpsichord, synthesizers, and drum machines along with guitar, piano, and his beloved tiple, but other than the more modern instrumentation, Askew's songs remain the same: quirky, but surprisingly accessible, with an engaging melodic sense and emotional, thoughtful lyrics that belie the easy "freaky outsider" tag that might otherwise get stuck upon him. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide


Ed Askew "My Heart Starts Beating"

It is with the greatest amount of pride that we present this magnificent, mystical collection by this timeless artist. From his earliest days at ESP-Disk, he's achieved a staturein the music community as an "outsider", and an artist without compromise. These songs will make you sad, happy, frightened and full of wonder for all that the h condition can bring. This is a collection of love songs like no other. I couldn't be more humbled and honored to have Ed Askew here at WildCat Records. He is the embodiment of what we try to do for the Art in which we both so deeply believe, not to mention, a beautiful human being with a heart as large as the Universe. "My Heart Starts Beating" is by far, my favorite album of the last year, and the biggest surprise I've heard in decades. - Joe Phillips

Ed Askew - My Life

The latest Ed Askew album, My Life, is an intimate collection of songs of reflections on Love, Life and Humanity. The songs are at once, both intimate and universal. This work of elegance, power and dignity, features the single, "If Fish Can Fly". It is a poetic journey through the life and times of this truly unique American artist, Ed Askew. As always, we are indeed very proud to count him among our most respected premiere artists.
