After a decade of releasing albums independently, John Eddie put out "Who the Hell is John Eddie?" on Lost Highway Records. In many ways, I think this is the best record of his career.
Over the years he became more and more comfortable with a blend of rock and Americana and that mix is done perfectly on this record. My favorites include "If You're Here When I Get Back", "Let Me Down Hard", "Jesus is Coming", "Play Some Skyrnrd", and "Forty". But the entire record is incredible and it came in at #10 in my list of Top 100 Albums by New Jersey Artists from 2001-2010.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Blessing," the first single from Jersey Shore songstress Brielle Brown's forthcoming full-length debut album, "In Art & Soil the Same."
