What the critics are saying about "Memories of You"!

Visit my Press page to read the full reviews.

"David has had to battle through various health issues of a serious nature, but back he most certainly is, and with one of the finest solo piano albums of the moment called, Memories of You. … on this album I was gifted one of the most amazing compositions I have heard for decades, and called Melancholy Mood. … so emotively powerful and all consuming, for me, this is solo piano at its very apex. … Memories of You by David M. Edwards is a return to the world of solo piano for the artist and composer, and what a stunning one it is too, it is a release that has everything, passion, emotion, reflection, and colourful textures in a tapestry of utter delight. If I were to be asked to name one truly exquisite solo piano album from 2025, without hesitation I would point directly at Memories of You by David M. Edwards, it is without doubt an absolute gem of a release, and one everyone should have in their collections."

-Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio

"The fourth album released by music artist David Edwards, Memories of You is a captivating collection of original solo piano music featuring a wide range of styles and elements. … Edwards has composed and performed an extraordinarily beautiful and inspirational album. Memories of You is highly recommended especially for solo piano connoisseurs and public library collections, and also makes an excellent gift."

-Midwest Book Review

"Memories of You is the fourth album from pianist/composer David M. Edwards, and is also his second solo piano album. And what a great album it is! … “Melancholy Mood” changes direction, looking inward and reflecting at the piano. Heartfelt and bittersweet, it’s my favorite track on the album. … Memories of You was worth the six-year wait, and I truly hope the David M. Edwards will be able to continue creating music without too much pain in his hands!"

-Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano

“David M. Edwards is truly one of the most thoughtful and sensitive composers and elegant and insightful solo piano artists in today’s new age genre … The dramatic story of Edwards’ challenges in the years since Still the River Flows, and his almost super-human ability to push through them all to create the richly soulful, exquisitely composed and performed 15 pieces of Memories of You could seriously be turned into a documentary (or docudrama) on the healing power of music – not just for the listener but for the creator. … What’s fascinating is that, despite including the slightly darker reflective piece “Melancholy Mood,” Edwards’ outpouring of emotion on the album is not sad and somber but cathartic,  liberating and spirit-filled, reflective of a man and artist who has found peace through his trials and now embraces life from a fresh, hopeful perspective.”

-Jonathan Widran, JW Vibe

I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome all my new fans this year and update my old friends on what's happening with me and my music.
 
After years of hand surgeries and other issues, I've finally completed the final version of my new album, Memories of You, with 15 new original piano pieces. It's been a convoluted journey, but I'm very happy with the new material. The songs have been mastered once more by the fantastic Joe Bongiorno.
 
I can't believe it's taken so long since Still the River Flows to get to this point, but as John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” I'll update this site as things develop.
 
I also plan to add a lot more sheet music for my piano music. Right now, it's only available as downloadable PDFs, but I do hope to be able to offer a printed sheet music book at some point.
 
As some of you may know, there have been big changes happening at Spotify. Smaller niche artists like yours truly will be getting the shaft from this streaming platform. Any songs that don't get 1000 plays during the year will get ZERO money from Spotify. They will redistribute that money to the major artists, which is a really bad move for emerging artists and those with a smaller reach. As a result, I'm asking that if you use Spotify as your main music streaming app, please stream my music as often as you can, so I can get over 1000 plays in the year. If you're open to switching to another platform, I recommend Apple Music, but pretty much any of them will be better than Spotify.
 
Thank you for being a supporter of my music and caring enough to become an official fan. Here's wishing you peace, joy, and wonderful music! I love you all.
 
David M. Edwards
 
p.s. Don't forget that my first two albums were released as "Dave Edwards". So if you'd like to hear some of my early, eclectic work, be sure to check those out.

NEW! We've added some new options to purchase and stream my music. There's still a Store on this website where you can buy digital downloads, CDs and SHEET MUSIC, but I now have a page on BandCamp where you can stream and purchase all my music, including my two early albums as Dave Edwards. This is a great site for creators, as most all revenue goes to the artist, as opposed to places like Spotify and other similar sites.

I'll add new sheet music as it becomes available. I only have the sheet music in PDF form available at this time. I plan to make printed music books available sometime in the next year. Be sure to let me know if there's a particular piece you'd like to have sheet music for. I'll make it a priority.

Check out my latest video, "Wistfully"! Visit my Video page for this and all my music videos.

I'm excited to share an interview show featuring me talking with Chrissie Sheppard of One World Music Radio about "Memories of You."

Also see what the critics say about "Still the River Flows"!

“Still the River Flows” by David M. Edwards is a near perfect solo piano release. Each song is like a short story, capturing the essence of a beautiful view, conversation, or memory. Inspired is the word that comes to mind. Much like a gently flowing river, the album’s powers are right there under the surface."

-BT Fasmer, New Age Music Guide

"Like a day so perfect I can hardly wait for the new dawn to arrive, this album makes me look forward to the composer’s future releases. With “Still the River Flows, David Edwards has truly hit his stride. Highly recommended!"

-Pam Asbury, Enlightened Piano Radio

"Overall elegantly simple and straight from the heart (a concept that is perhaps best-captured on the piece 'Just a Simple Song') Still the River Flows is an especially appropriate album to put on in the morning to gently elevate the soul and illuminate the start of a new day!"

-Candace Michelle, Aural Awakenings

"There is what I would term a most stridently pleasant style of playing on this new straight from the heart solo piano album by David M. Edwards ... he plays with an exuberance of spirit not often found on albums that are in the New Age category ... it’s very much like he’s talking right to you through his keyboard ... I give David a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating."

-Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews

"With the release of Still the River Flows, David M. Edwards’ majestic and expansive, multi-faceted debut album as a solo pianist, the veteran musician and composer opens a fresh door in his long, eclectic career – finding a beautiful and organic new musical flow..."Still the River Flows," intimate and heartfelt, sometimes jubiliant, oft times introspective and even haunting compositions lay a meaningful and magical foundation for the launch of a whole new career."

-Jonathan Widran, The JW Vibe

A Note About Social Media

I would love for you to follow me on social media. Here's my Full Disclosure:

My musician page on Facebook features posts limited to music and the arts with an emphasis, of course, on my own music. Good site to visit for music-related stuff and little else.

Like many people, I have left Twitter. For posts more about current events and political issues I am now on Threads and BlueSky.  I have deeply held beliefs in this regard, so if you are interested in reading about them, Threads and BlueSky are for you.

The photos I post on Instagram mostly feature some of the beauty of nature in the Rocky Mountains where I live. Some music related stuff here, but mostly pictures of places I visit ... and bears.

See you on the Interwebs!
