Eric Lambert: CD's
Doin' Alright
author: Brenda Hough - California Bluegrass Association
Sometimes music flows from the CD to the heart and the effect is timeless. Eric Lambert’s guitar and mandolin music take the instruments into carefully crafted tapestries of sound. While the songs are mostly instrumentals, each one stands on its own with melodies that leave little dancing notes in your head. “Green” has a lovely Celtic lilt, and “Doin’ Alright” is a great vocal to sing along and pack with you on a gloomy day. “Leaves” is a gentle, flowing guitar piece with melodic passages that bring images of the great outdoors. His version of “Red Haired Boy” has great depth and melodic variations that jam session players would be happy to imitate. Eric has managed to make the recording immediate and intimate and the listener feels like the concert is presented right in the living room.

Just The Way I Feel
author: Don Aters - Haight Street Music News - Louisville Ky
Just pondering over this Lambert CD.Innovative guitar skills,lyrics of content and the often overlooked soulful delivery has all been culminated here. Songs that can transcend the decades and are as viable today as they were when first composed, i.e., released, are what all great musicians strive for. Just The Way I Feel has the potential to accelerate Eric to the upper echelon of contemporary artists.In an industry where a few lyrical shaman still exist, the time is right and after listening to this CD so is the music.
