Bleu Edmondson's "Future"

Dallas native Bleu Edmondson got his start in the live music scene in College Station, Texas in the late 1990s, which he leveraged into a successful music career, now spanning over 10 years.

I first saw Bleu perform in 2007. At that time, he was in an “in between” time, working on the now highly acclaimed “Lost Boy” record. He had a special connection with the audience, and I thought he was among the hardest-working performers out there.

With “Lost Boy,” Bleu catapulted himself out of the shallower “party” genre of the scene, best represented with his first hit song, “Fifty Dollars and a Flask of Crown,”, and replaced his style with a deeper, more introspective collection of songs.

The follow-up to Lost Boy is his newest record, The Future Ain’t What It Used to Be, aptly titled for the current day stock market and economy. Two singles from the new record have already made it to the top of the Texas Music Charts, “No Room for Mercy” topped out at the number three position, and “Blood Red Lincoln” earned the number one position for multiple weeks. The third single from the album, the title track, will be released to radio in two weeks.

I this podcast, Bleu talks about his recent trip to Alaska, his writing style, and the dangers of living an emotionally risky lifestyle. Enjoy!
