Edward David Anderson.

The music of Edward David Anderson feels well-worn. But the man who's been making it since 1997 — both on his own and with the bands Backyard Tire Fire and Brother Jed — really found his home when he arrived in L.A. (Lower Alabama, that is.)

Anderson is originally from Chicago, but magic happened when he went into the studio in Loxley, Ala., with Anthony Crawford. They produced a wonderfully soulful singer-songwriter record that Anderson says is true to his heart. Hear two songs from that record, Lower Alabama: The Loxley Sessions,and download the full World Cafe: Nextsegment on this page.
