The Profile

American singer-songwriter and visual artist whose late-1960s debut Ask the Unicorn was released on ESP-Disk; known for fragile, raspy vocals and outsider-leaning folk songwriting.

Debut album Ask the Unicorn was released on ESP-Disk in the late 1960s. Career spans from the 1960s to recordings in later decades.

DeBaser's review celebrates Ed Askew's Ask the Unicorn as an underrated late-60s psychedelic/outsider folk record. It highlights a raspy, fragile voice, a 'baritone ukulele' sound and urgent, outsider lyricism, comparing the work to Pearls Before Swine and Daniel Johnston.
