It’s 1999. Kathleen Edwards records a seven-song EP entitled Building 55 and presses 500 copies. This EP, now long out of print, is the first recorded output of Edwards’ career prior to her signing with a label and releasing her full length debut, 2003’s Failer. Here are the seven tracks off Building 55 for posterity. Brittle, affecting, alt.country – a glimpse of the sound and style Edwards would refine on her debut LP.
News: Look for Kathleen Edwards third LP, Asking For Flowers, to be released worldwide on March 4, 2008.

thank you for this- failer is one of my favorites.
Great – I didn’t have this. Actually, didn’t even know about it.
Excellent…great way to start the week. Thanks, dood.
Major rock chick crush on Kathleen Edwards. Her “Failer” was a beautiful thing. Thanks for these, I knew it existed but never could find it.
This made my day. I’ve been looking for this for the last four years!!!
Somebody offered this up a couple years ago but someone I didn’t have the last song. Thanks! I’m looking forward to her new one…
That should be “somehow” I didn’t have the last song.
Excellent! Asking for Flowers can’t come soon enough.
Anyone heard Jim Bryson’s (played on Failer and Back to Me) Where the Bungalows Roam? It’s my second favourite Canadian album this year.
If you don’t fall in love with “Flowers”, well I just don’t know: http://wherethebungalowsroam.com/
Is it her that sings the song in that Old Navy commercial? It killed me that I couldn’t think who it was because I swore I knew the voice, and it suddenly hit me after seeing this post.
which commercial? i’m not sure if I’m familiar
Thanks for posting these. Here in Philly we’re big fans. Wait till you hear her new album. It smokes. – Bruce
