Ed Lincoln - O Melhor de Ed Lincoln

This album is with me for a long time, and I never had in mind to share at Loronix one day. However, every friend I show it says that Ed Lincoln is always worth checking; even if it is a compilation such like this one. By the way, some of these friends have been crying out for this post via email. Ed Lincoln is really popular, no matter in Brazil or abroad. If you were waiting for “O Melhor de Ed Lincoln”, your time has come. Let’s see.

This is Ed Lincoln – O Melhor de Ed Lincoln (no date), for Musidisc, featuring well known Ed Lincoln cuts, blending instrumentals and songs with lyrics. Little I know about this album and I’m not an expert on Ed Lincoln discography to understand from which albums these tracks come from or the name of each special guest performing, but this is a nice album, especially for the late comers, a unique chance to get an overview of Ed Lincoln and then move towards to his regular career LPs.
