Review by Piroska Racz
Black Ticket Day, the latest album by Australian musician Ed Kuepper, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that showcases his impressive skills as a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist. Released in 2018, the album is a mix of original compositions and cover songs, all of which are performed with a raw, emotional intensity that is characteristic of Kuepper's work.
The album's opening track, "The Way I Made You Feel," sets the tone for what is to come, with its melancholic melody and introspective lyrics. This is followed by "The Curse of the Magic Doll," a haunting ballad that features Kuepper's signature guitar work and evocative vocals. Other standout tracks include the bluesy "Old Flames," the stripped-down "The Road to Nowhere," and the brooding "Black Ticket Day."
Kuepper's cover of Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" is a highlight of the album, with his gravelly voice and intricate guitar playing adding a new dimension to the classic song. The album closes with a cover of Warren Zevon's "Accidentally Like a Martyr," which is given a poignant, stripped-down treatment that showcases Kuepper's ability to convey deep emotion through his music.

About Ed Kuepper
Born Bremen, Germany, 20th December 1955, emigrated to Brisbane, Australia as a child
Founding member of seminal Australian punk band he left the band after their third LP "Prehistoric Sounds" to found .
in 1985 he released his first solo LP, "Electrical Storm" followed by "Rooms of the Magnificent" in 1986 and a further 14 studio albums between 1987 and 2000. In a stunning burst of creativity in 1992 and 1993, he recorded 3 of his best regarded records - Honey Steels Gold, Black Ticket Day and Serene Machine - in 18 months, and also found time to record 2 albums with his side project
Although in the 90s his records did break into the lower reaches of the charts, commercial success has largely eluded him, and in recent times this may be at least partially due to the wide range of musical styles he has covered - from blues (on "Today Wonder") to experimentation with beats ("A King In The Kindness Room), ambient ("The Blue House") and soundtracks ("Starstruck").
After a 7 year hiatus, Kuepper's 17th solo studio album "Jean Lee And The Yellow Dog
