A History of Eric Andersen

Thirsty Boots (rare version) plus a big surprise at the end

Spanning a career of 55 years Andersen is hailed by his peers as a master songsmith. He has long been a luminary in the folk music community, but no less than the Beatles manager - Brian Epstein - had hopes of bringing his talents to a much wider audience shorty before he died. Andersen has a canon of great songs that are unfortunately not well known. Three overlooked masterpieces are his albums - STAGES/THE LOST ALBUM, MORE HITS FROM TIN CAN ALLEY, and BE TRUE TO YOU.

I remember seeing him at the Cat's Cradle. Have always loved his voice. Thank you for this song and grand collection of photos of a great and talented artist.

Beautiful performance, amazingly clean live tape for the era.
