'''Edward Leonard Wool Jr.''' is an American blues/rock guitar virtuoso, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from [[Watertown, New York]].<ref>Brock, Chris: "What goes around...",Watertown Daily Times, December, 2006</ref> Wool has recorded with several bands on seven major record labels. In the 1980s he moved to [[Albany, New York]], and has continued writing, recording, and leading ''The Ed Wool Band''.
 
Wool's band, [[Ed Wool and Thethe Nomads (see [[/Wool|Ed Wool and theThe Nomads/Wool]]), was active in the [[Central New York]] and [[North Country, New York]] areas in the mid and late 1960s. In the book "Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers," a retrospective of the psychedelic '60s music scene, there is a chapter on Ed Wool stating that he was and continues to be an influential guitarist in northeast America. Wool has recorded with RCA, Cameo-Parkway, Epic/Diamond, and Columbia Records. Although scoring high with his recording of "Valleri" produced on Epic/Records by Mike 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.
 
His compositions and recordings have been used on major television shows and in several movies, including MGM's HENDRIX. In 2006, the WOOL album originally recorded on ABC Records in 1969, was re-released as an import by Cherry Red/Delay 68 Records in London, England.
