Music

Music has many different facets. Although it is assigned to the alternative country, there is the music of elements from folk, bluegrass, gospel, and alternative rock; occasionally it was also referred to as Gothic Country.

By religiosity Edwards is also the focus of the texts in the religious or spiritual realm, for example, the references to the unmerited grace that God allows to be given to humans. However, the text does not stop with empty praise, but describe in the tradition of American itinerant preacher in vivid, sometimes dramatic, artfully contrasted and durchwobenen with metaphors verses of Crime and Punishment, the temptations of the devil and the extremely unpleasant consequence that the rejection of God's grace for the misled and misguided people have.
