It's Not My Fault, plus the Live album, has to be some of the best music received to date. It's sheer dynamism and its mix of roots/country/rock is undertaken in such a professional manner as to make one wonder where the hell Lionel has been all these years. With elements of Springsteen and the writing equivalence of the likes of Dylan, It's Not My Fault deserves world wide attention. Not only is this a good album, it is also an album that MUST be heard.

We posted the following
5 star (outstanding) review of your "It's Not My Fault"
CD on RadioIndy.com and on CDBaby.com. Keep up the good work.

Lionel's "It's
Not My Fault" CD is a gem. It is outstanding in every aspect:
Songwriting, musicianship, and production, with quality that matches
any big-label CD you've heard. Songs like "Storms Building"
take you on an emotional ride from mellow verses to the powerful
organ-filled chorus. "Day by Day" will get you tapping
your toes to the hook-filled chorus. Our favorite is "One More
Time," with its catchy, Springsteen-like groove and all the
qualities of an adult rock hit.
If you enjoy adult rock singer songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen,
Warren Zevon, or John Hiatt, you'll love this CD. Pick up a copy
today.

"It's Not My Fault has stayed inside my CD player since the first moment I put it in, and I still haven't stopped listening to it since then! I love everything you've done there, there is no weak point indeed: the voice is warm, the sound of the Hammond is delightful but all the band plays very well and tight. But above all I love your songs, a stunning blend of country, rock, rhythm'n'blues and something else too. I seldom am so enthusiast because I have to listen to so much music, as you may understand, but be sure that this album will be a consistent part of my musical diet in the next days and I'll play it a lot in my radio show here.
I thank you
again so much for letting me discover your fantastic music."

"Excellent songwriting, and a tight roots rock feel accompany the
new CD from Lionel Train featuring Rens Newland. My favorite tunes
are the rollicking "Day By Day", the soulful heartfelt "Our Paths
Have Crossed", the light hearted "Bad Day", and the bluesy "Over
Into Life". The Lionel Train is Lionel Lodge on vocals and acoustic
guitar and features some excellent keyboard and organ work from
Valentin Oman. `It's Not MY Fault´ is a great collection of ballads,
blues, and good time rock and roll. Buy it!"
