He walked into Charta Records office in the late 70’s, and found that Charlie Fields, owner of Charta and a well known producer in Nashville, would let him put some rockabilly sounds on his albums. One of his single \u00a0releases being Open Up Your Door.\u00a0 He would come back again and do some more recordings, never releasing them, looking for a backer to help him with his dreams.<\/p>\n

In the late 80’s Eddie found a backer, in his hometown, together they both came down, talked to Charlie and went into the studio, to put the tracks down for the album, titled, Straight Up Country. With this album, he had promotion and did really well, on radio in the states and overseas. In 1990, Debbie Dean had set up some dates for Eddie to play in Scandanavia. So along with David Walsh and Debbie Dean, he went on to play the SCC Festival in Silkeborg Denmark,did alot of radio promotion and also a show on TV 49, with host Richard Ragnwald, and with all this in motion, a couple years later, with the help of a Danish radio dj, Dann Hansen from Roskilde,\u00a0 Eddie once agan played the\u00a0SCC Festival in Silkeborg,\u00a0he was also again on TV 49 in Odense, he\u00a0played on \u00a0Anni Filt\u2019s TV show in \u00c5rhus also. Along with other clubs in and around Denmark and Sevenbergen, Netherlands, and also into Sweden for a few more well received music dates.<\/p>\n

Debbie Dean rereleased some of Eddies songs to overseas dj’s, some who had never heard of Eddie til now, and made sure he got out to the listeners ears, which put him on the European charts ,the Top 40.
