Lawrence shows off so much eye, ear, and imagination that his stories barely require the appearance of music.

Eddy Lawrence could probably be famous if he would tone it down a little, and slick up the music. Fortunately, he hasn't, and so each one gets better. He's definitely one of Woody's children, and I'm glad he's around.

What particularly stands out about Lawrence is his wry sense of humor -- he twists phrases in the grand tradition of Steve Goodman on tunes like "Miller High Life," "My Brother Used to Be a Marine" and "Don't Play No Country Music." Also of note is an instrumental style so tuneful that you can almost hear a band where it's only a mandolin overdubbed onto a guitar track.
