Title - 'If I Don't Try' [EP]
Artist - Wyatt Edmondson
For those not in the know, Wyatt Edmondson is an American singer-songwriter from Montgomery, Alabama.
The 25-year old moved to Nashville in 2017 and will release his a brand new EP on February 21st, 2020 entitled If I Don't Try.
But the road hasn't been easy or kind for Edmondson, for when he was 15 he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye condition, which will cause him to lose his sight over time.
Initially a setback, music moved him forward—literally from Alabama to Nashville—to pursue his dream.
By 2015, Edmondson, still in college at the time, released his debut EP, Higher Ground and has steadily delivered more music throughout the past several years, including follow up Lover’s Lake (2016).
All along, he has continuously fine-tuned his songwriting and sound to arrive here now at his rather splendid new third EP, the aforementioned If I Don’t Try.
1. 'If I Don't Try'
2. 'Amber'
3. 'Room For Two'
4. 'You Said It, I Meant It'
5. 'Lovers Lake'
Edmondson's love for country music blossoming within his unique blend of Southern roots and rock, is mighty obvious here on the EP that he pulled in producers Shawn Byrne and Ryan Youmans for.
From the off and the uplifting title song 'If I Don't Try' is one filled with hope, light, and love, as are the other four tracks, of course.
Digging deeper into his own takes, his own perspectives on his life thus far, tracks such as 'Amber,' the story of a girl Edmondson knew growing up that took a leap of faith and the delightful shrug-it-off fun of 'Room For Two' are next.
They are followed by the lead single and relationship heartache and inner turmoil of 'You said It, I Meant It' and then the EP rounds out with another dip into 'Lovers Lake,' this time captured as a full band arrangement.
Simply put, If I Don't Try is Edmondson wearing his heart on his sleeve, and embracing life's toughest moments with stride and maturity. Indeed, this is his love letter to all of the go-getters out there.
