Edward Leonard Wool Jr., the son of concert pianist Claudine Lucas Wool, is an American electric blues guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and recording artist from Watertown, New York. Wool has recorded with several bands on six major record labels. In the 1980s he moved to Albany, New York, and has continued writing, recording, and performing.Wool's first band, Ed Wool and The Nomads, was active in northeast America in the 1960s and 1970s. In the book "Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers," a retrospective of the late '60s music scene, there is a chapter on Ed Wool stating that he was and continues to be an influential guitarist in northeast America. His guitar playing is intuitive, and reflects his love for Texas and Chicago Electric Blues, but with an edgier style, and highly developed technique. Wool has recorded with United Artists, RCA, Cameo-Parkway, Epic/Diamond, ABC Records, and Columbia Records . Although scoring high with his recording of "Valleri" produced on Epic/Records by Michael Joyce, he is probably best known for the WOOL album recorded on ABC Records and produced by David Rosner and Margo Guryan with some help from Neil Diamond.
