Billboard Magazine’s Chuck Taylor Reviews “Comin’ My Way”

“Acoustic pop/folk troubadour Ed Roman certainly has a way with words—and melody. Since his 2000 debut “Special Ed and The Musically Challenged,” he hasn’t slowed down, following up with three releases, including 2011’s 22-track(!) “Oracles and Ice Cream.” In 2014, he issued “Letters from High Latitudes,” an homage to his Ontario, Canada home, which has garnered radio airplay on 100+ stations across North America—and a 2014 Artists In Music Awards nod, two International Music & Entertainment Award nominations and a 2014 AMG Heritage Awards nomination. Emphasis track “Comin’ My Way” is a relaxed guitar-driven ode to enjoying life’s simple pleasures after lost love, driven by a dash of tambourine, appreciable hand claps and a dollop of mandolin. Ed sings: “I’ve been looking for a good time, I’ve been waiting for the sunshine, It’s been coming my way/I’ve been dancing at a hoedown, Love to chew the fat with folks, I’ve been sipping on some moonshine, I’ve been telling dirty jokes… and the healing… It happens everyday.” Yes, indeed, this goes down mighty easy. A nice musical moment, primed to be enjoyed with beer raised in unison.” – Chuck Taylor, Former Sr. Editor, Billboard Magazine
