On Eddy’s most recent CD, he goes back to the basics, relying on his just his guitar and mandolin to back up his witty and articulate lyrics with subject matter ranging from ancient history to the post-postmodern world of today. |

Eddy Lawrence's eighth album has been described as
"the diary of a divorce". Containing 22 original songs,
this album took over two years to complete and was recorded
at Eddy's studio in Moira, NY with some additional mixing and
mastering done at his "temporary home" on Hog Island
on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain. |

Eddy dives headfirst into Native Americana on this
CD. This time around he plays a real drum kit as well as bass
and electric guitars, making a record that sounds more rock
than folk. |

On his sixth album, Eddy adds "faux drums" (a portable
toilet, a cardboard box, empty beer cans, etc.) to his guitars
and vocals, fashioning an off-the-cuff sounding backup to his
carefully crafted stories of fame and obscurity. |

|
|
On the first album to be recorded in his solar powered
studio/cabin Eddy paints pictures of people and places in his
adopted homeland: the North Country of New York State. Locals
features a low key production (guitar, mandolin, and vocals)
framing tales of outsiders, abandoned children, homesteaders,
tourists, and petty criminals. |

Used Parts (1992)
CD and cassette
Featuring Fats Kaplan's dobro and Kenny Kosek's fiddle
along with Eddy's own flatpicked acoustic guitar and vocals,
"Used Parts" tells gritty and sometimes humorous tales of life
on the streets of the Big Apple and on the backroads of the
Deep South and the Far North. |

|
|
|
Eddy's wackier side is showcased on this album of mostly
humorous story-songs. This is his sparsest album musically,
with just his guitar and mandolin for accompaniment. |
|
|
|
|
|
For his second LP, Eddy's guitars and mandolin were
augmented by a complete band (bass, drums, dobro, pedal steel,
and fiddle) resulting in a mainly country-rock album balanced
with several strictly acoustic cuts. |

|
|
|
Recorded on a Porta-Studio in his Lower East Side apartment,
Eddy's first album pays homage to his Alabama roots. A sparse
musical setting of acoustic guitar, mandolin, and bass frames
tales, real and invented, of southern rural life. |
