Eddie Skuller's new album "The Morphine Berry Story" was produced by James Mastro (Amy Speace, Ian Hunter, Health & Happiness Show). Recorded in Hoboken without a bass, this alternative blues album features duel drumming by Marco Giovino and Ted Lyons, and guitar/harmonica from James Mastro.  Nine original new tunes plus a fiery version of a song written by blues legend John Lee Hooker.  

STAR LEDGER

Singer-songwriter Eddie Skuller has been kicking around the New Jersey and New York music scene since the early 1980's.  If there's any justice, this self-released album will be his breakthrough.   ...for this collection of blues songs with a moody, late-night ambiance. He sustains a remarkable degree of intensity through nine originals, plus an inspired cover of John Lee Hooker's "Serves Me Right To Suffer."  - Jay Lustig

ROOTS OF ROCK

...an excellent debut album by a guy who has managed to take the Blues idium and transform it into his own sound. ... a vibrant example of how to take an old established genre of music, Blues, and slam it into 2009. Truly The Roots Of Rock!    4 Stars 

THE BIG TAKEOVER

Skuller uses nothing but guitar, a pair of drummers and a muscular harmonica to conjure a haunted atmosphere of melancholy introspection. Very well written for the most part and beautifully sung, The Morphine Berry Story is a perfect example of a fully realized individual vision of the blues.

JERSEY BEAT

...a supremely hip, gritty and lowdown funky album full of raw, yet compelling and melodic no-bullshit scruffy blues.  Eddie’s soulful voice certainly does the moody and emotional trick ...beautifully smoky and rough-hewn little nugget

MUZIKREVIEW

Skuller's pain is the listener’s joy... 

Blues prides itself on torture and exorcism – the grim journey of sin, regret, and burdensome living. The Morphine Berry Story carves its own road with these austere elements, and Eddie Skuller is right out front as the funereal bandleader. In this case, the mourning is welcome and never overwrought.
