**COUNTRY LEGEND’S SIX ALBUMS MAKE STREAMING DEBUT**

**CAPPING OFF UMe’s BLACK MUSIC MONTH**

**JUNE 28, 2022 (LOS ANGELES, CA) — STONEY EDWARDS**’ personal story filled with
the struggle, grit, courage and heart is what  has long been the basis for songs
that have shaped country music. He was among the early black country music artists
to find success and the first black country singer-songwriter signed to Capitol 
Nashville in the 1970s. With 2022 marking the 25th year since his passing, **UMG
Nashville/UMe** concludes Black Music Month and honors Stoney Edwards with the streaming
debut of all six of his acclaimed 1971-1976 Capitol Records’ albums. _Down Home 
In The Country, A Country Singer, Stoney Edwards, She’s My Rock, Mississippi You’re
On My Mind _and _Blackbird _have been remastered from original analog tapes.

**STONEY EDWARDS**

Stoney Edwards had 15 charting singles across his six Capitol Records albums and
two top-20 hits “**She’s My Rock**” and “**Mississippi You’re On My Mind**,” available
to stream/download here: [https://stoneyedwards.lnk.to/Stream](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=928dc47385&e=615f2b8493)

Although his country music career began later in life, Stoney Edwards brought classic
twang to his deeply personal lyrics such as “last night a two dollar toy made a 
million dollar daddy out of me,” the opening track and his first single, “**A Two
Dollar Toy**,” from his debut album,_ A Country Singer_. Also from his debut, “**
A Few of the Reasons**” is a romantic ode with “Your love was there when everything
else was gone….”

Hailed by critics from Nashville to London, The Nashville Scene praised him as “
A wonderful country vocalist and a highly entertaining songwriter who tirelessly
beat the bushes on Music Row in the early and mid-’70s. His style interspersed bits
of Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams with his deep, coarse, yet ingratiating
delivery.” The Guardian stated, “the former trucker’s recordings were regarded as
crying-into-your-beer classics.…” In addition, country stalwart **Billy Ray Cyrus**,
who narrated a new video about Stoney Edwards, said “I was captivated and mesmerized
by this story. He opened the door for so many great talents to follow their dreams
in country music. “
