now how about some reviews!
Lord Litter - JUST BLAME EDDIE: Believe it or not, this "Orange Entropy" release is my first listen
to Mister Litter... hmmmm... pretty dam KEWL! Thought I was listening to straight-up Eddy Arnold,
with a twist of Johnny Cash tossed in fer' good measure... lots of strum-acoustic guitar, very
country-oriented on the opening piece, "Love Freak", but then (in the last minute) there's a
really nice lil' organ solo that creeps in there. Litter has a majickal element to his composition,
harmonies snuck in all over the place, intricate sonic surprises that are most pleasant. His
vocals are strong, sort of a cross between Willie Nelson & Tom Waits, if you can dig that!
Don't miss this one... all you home-taper fans out there will want to have this one... it's bound
to become a collectible! For those who enjoy well-composed/high energy music with a
folk/country bent, this is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Rotcod Zzaj, aka Dick Metcalf

From Aural Innovations #18 (January 2002)
German indie underground champion Lord Litter's latest release features more of his unique brand of acoustic folk-country songs. Litter has a raspy Tom Waits or Robbie Robertson type voice and passionate vocal style that lends depth and emotion to his songs. Litter plays all instruments including guitar (mostly acoustic), bass, drums, piano, banjo, and perhaps more. The songs display a remarkable grasp of melody, and all are well crafted to create completely accessible tunes that nonetheless include thought and variety. Many of the songs have a traditional country or general American folk sound, though embedded within many of them are snippets of whimsy and fun that make them Lord Litter's very own. Good stuff. And be sure to check out his radio show for the best in inpendent music from around the world.

LORD LITTER - JUST BLAME EDDIE
From what I can gather here, Lord Litter is an act out of Germany, whose sound revolves largely around guitar accompaniment & grabs some great sounds across the album, which sits right on the 12 track mark. There seems very little in the way of percussion on any of the songs here, but that doesn't detract from what is an interesting project.
Those into the guitar backing kind of song will love many of the tracks here, with some of the more notable standouts being a Nashville version of "Don't Send Your Blues My Way", as well as both the title track & another called "The Green Fleet", while closer "Talking To Your Dog" is probably my pick.
