As if it couldn’t get any better, More Stuff Happens Deluxe Edition features four incredible bonus tracks in addition to the original 11 tracks from Stuff Happens! Two tracks (It’s Okay and Sleeping On The Wet Spot) have been remixed with the addition of some smokin’ hot horns, keys and percussion.

Stuff Happens runs the full spectrum of manic depression in glorious stereophonic sound. There are blues rockers and desolate Americana ballads and when you need a jolt, there’s plenty of naked, unapologetic, torn-and-frayed American rock & roll. The lush sonics of Stuff Happens make a compelling backdrop for Shmitt’s austere, blunt-force poetry and gutter-of-consciousness lyrics. His songs are disarmingly direct and personal. These are not your garden variety genericana tunes. He’s weird. And honest, too. His stories are our stories. He makes us feel stuff. – Glide Magazine

“His trashy Chris Isaak baritone makes for engaging listening.  He picks the right tones, moods and lyrics to hop in his musical sidecar that’s up to no good. His destination is a bit odd and retro in a jacked-up Camaro on cinderblocks in the front yard kind of way.  Best taken with a whiskey poured from a plastic bottle.” – The Aquarian Weekly

“I decided to do a cover record of some of my favorite tunes.  I wanted to pay tribute to the originals and put my own twist to these treasures.  I had this idea that I’d call all the cool cats and kitties I’ve met along the way – some of them legends – and ask if they wanted to play with me. Everyone was into it --  Levon Helm, David Johansen. Gordon Gano, Anton Fier, Jayotis Washington, Willy DeVille, Stockard Channing. I had a blast making this record.” – Stuffy Shmitt

“His songs are serious, even poetic at times, yet filled with oddball lyrical twists and distinctive musical touches… a striking collection. At times, Shmitt recalls Tom Waits with his barroom references, clattering percussion, distorted vocals and guitar riffs, and stubborn romanticism.”  - Jay Lustig, The Star Ledger , NJ

“Shmitt is lyrically poetic… he has a singular sound.” – Dan Aquilante, New York Post

“Shmitt offers up a killer collection of tunes [in Industrial Love.] Packed full of quirky songs the album starts off strong and gets better as you listen to it.  Creating a sublime marriage between unconventional lyrics and soulful music each song stands on its own but as a whole they build off each other, and that’s what makes this a damn fine record.” – Chris Martin, Atlanta Music Examiner
