Reviews of and Quotes about "Last Will and Testament"
From Playing Out Loud (UK): "...a great album. Heavy country-rock from a man who sings like hes been gargling with gravel and soothing it with whisky." - Peter Ashton (Playing Out Loud) Read the entire
review here.
"These songs ARE raw. They're straight-forward songs, honest poetry with lean,
muscular playing to back 'em up. The southern drawl vocals are mixed up front so
you can understand every word and each word's shading (Eric is a master of
phrasing); the songs are so perfectly built that if you removed just one
syllable or one note, the depth of the construct would be lessened to an
immeasurable extent. Leonard Bernstein said the same thing (more eloquently)
about Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Though worlds apart, Ludwig von and Eric
Fiedor share one thing -- the ability to make a statement through sound that is
at once beautiful and impossible to resist." says Perry Thompson (Rainy Day
Records).
The Birmingham News says, "The recording of the new album (Last Will and
Testament) is more evidence of Fiedor reaching back to his roots." - Michael
Tomberlin
