Poland man releases CD

poland

Justin Joseph Edwards of Poland has released his second CD, “When I’m Dreaming.”

Edwards plays most of the instrumentation, with appearances by his father, Joseph Edwards, on clarinet; Carlene Bechtel on vocals and Anthony Coppola on drums.

His first CD, a self-titled affair, was released about a year ago.

“The biggest difference between this CD and the first one is definitely the direction of the lyrics,” said Edwards.

“My words have focused more on life growth and who I am as a person.”
