Mile 23

Eclectic Modern Americana

     

Dana Edelman’s Mile 23 is a hit and run CD that stops you dead on his tracks. It’s a creative and unique integration of diverse sounds mixed with rhythmic storytelling, at times metaphoric rhetoric that speaks to the listener and brightens their spirit. Dana takes us on a personal yet universal journey, riding through a sweet, pleasantly gratifying blend of Americana music inclusive of Folk, Country, Rock, Funk, Soulful Blues arrangements wrapped in spiritual undertones, fused at times with Urban Jazz grooves. He embraces the listener with pleasant, gently uplifting, inspirational panacea of foot stomping anti-blues Blues. His voice is clear and pure and, depending on the song, takes on a bluesy soulful spiritual quality, which exudes a temperate soothing energy that reaches you and makes you feel “alright.” Dana’s lyrics reminds us to move on, that we can go the distance, that there are no dead ends in the road ahead, if we make the best of what we have. This CD is retro combined with a modern refreshing eclectic approach. Mile 23 is relatable in that it encompasses family, patriotic, political, and mundane themes. All the tracts are entertaining and say something about life.
