Edward Bear Edward Bear (Vinyl, Capitol Records, 1973) ***
Genre: Canadian pop
Places I remember: Second hand shop
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Last Song
Gear costume: Edgware Station
Active compensatory factors: I love Last Song - a soft rock masterpiece. The trio of Edward Bear (terrible name) is made up of two singer songwriters (Larry Evoy and Roger Ellis) and keyboardist Paul Waldon and they make a lovely sound.

This is a better album than Close Your Eyes but still uneven. I always think of Edward Bear as a cousin to Raspberries. Roger is the Wally Bryson and Larry is Eric Carmen - both Larry and Eric have terrific voices. Except Larry didn't write the consistently great songs that Eric did for Raspberries.
Still, this one passes through on gossamer wings for the most part.
Where do they all belong? That's it for Edward Bear. Next up: Eels.
