The title track of Kathleen Edwards's Asking for Flowers, out in March 2008, is her song from top to bottom: she wrote it alone, co-produced it with Jim Scott, and strums the acoustic guitar at its center. Scott recorded and mixed it too, and he keeps the room warm and uncluttered.
The band around her is a crack crew. Jim Bryson and Greg Leisz trade electric guitar lines, John Ginty lays down a bed of Hammond organ, Bob Glaub plays bass and Don Heffington handles drums and percussion, with Bryson stepping up for backing vocals as well. It's patient, rootsy playing that gives the song room to breathe.
