Hamell On Trial- Ed's Not Dead: Hamell Comes Alive LP.  Ed Hamell aka Hamell On Trial is a one-man punk band—and by punk we mean loud, fast music informed by politics, passion, energy and intelligence, played by a guy with a sharp tongue and a wicked sense of humor. Armed with his battered 1937 Gibson acoustic guitar, Mr. Hamell tours the country and settles in Austin, Texas, where he has a a receptive audience for his esoteric mix of songs and story telling. In 1995, Mercury Records signed him straight out of the SXSW Music Conference and released ‘Big As Life’ and ‘The Chord Is Mightier Than The Sword’; and he was later signed to Ani Di Franco's Righteous Babe Records. This is a quality reissue of his 2000 classic ‘Ed's Not Dead: Hamell Comes Alive LP‘ launching Hamell into new territory, capturing an award-winning performance with his witty social commentary acquired through years on the road.
