'''Edward Leonard Wool Jr.''', the son of Claudine Lucas Wool, is an American electric blues guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and recording artist from [[Watertown, New York]].<ref>Brock, Chris: "What goes around...",Watertown Daily Times, December, 2006</ref> Wool has recorded with several bands on
Wool's first band, [[Ed Wool and the Nomads/Wool|Ed Wool and The Nomads]], was active in northeast America in the 1960s and 1970's. In the book "Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers," a retrospective of the late '60s music scene, there is a chapter on Ed Wool stating that he was and continues to be an influential guitarist in northeast America. His guitar playing is intuitive, and reflects his love for Texas and Chicago Electric Blues, but with an edgier style, and highly developed technique. Wool has recorded with United Artists, RCA, Cameo-Parkway, Epic/Diamond, ABC Records, and Columbia Records . Although scoring high with his recording of "Valleri" produced on Epic/Records by Michael 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, and Amazon.
In 2011, he was voted the best blues guitarist in the Capital Region (Albany, NY), and won the King of The Blues contest.
