Dick Edwards "Big City Boy" (RA Records, 1972-?) (LP)
(Produced by Elizabeth Usher, Harry Hall & A. J. Waldron)
A country music set from Richard Thomas Edwards (1942-2022) a professional football player who kicked off his musical career recording a fight song for Torquay United, a team from Devon he played for around the time this album was recorded. This disc showcases a lot of original songs, including several credited to Edwards, and at least one composition from Raymond Froggatt, a tune called "A Million Miles." Edwards also released several singles, including some late '70s/early '80s EPs released as The Dick Edwards Duo. As far as I know, this was his only full album, and seems to have been recorded in a different sessions with a couple of different studio bands; the independent RA Records label focussed mainly of folkie material, but also had a few country records in its quiver, and most of the musicians seem to have been from the RA stable.
