Eric Andersen - The Three Best Songs from MORE HITS FROM TIN CAN ALLEY

[bipolarbert]

I am also a big fan of Eric, from the Blue River period and its follow-up , so this is interesting to hear.

[verver9]

I wore this album out when it came out. Great artist!!! Thanks for sharing this!

[seefan1]

Anyone have chords to "Time run like a freight train"?

[geneclart1]

Love this first track. hey myrecordcollection you havent uploaded anything for a while - we all miss you

If Vanguard didn't have it's head up it's ass (now owned by The Welk Music Group yeah Lawrence Welk's idiot sons), this would be in print again. The mastered it for CD once but the engineer left the building while doing the transfer and it sounds like it was run over by a truck! Ah stupidity ... they walk among us.

I think he left Vanguard after this record, which I've never heard (thanks for posting!). _Avalanche_ might have been the next record, but it was on Warner, I think. (I have it, but never listened to it much). "Hello Sun" was on the Vanguard _Best_, but it might have been a different take. I don't agree that "Violets" is his best-known song, that would have to be "Thirsty Boots," and I'm not sure that even "Blue River," "Is It Really Love at All," "Close the Door Lightly," and "Rolling" are

This is one of the few elpees I buy whenever I come across it in a thrift shop or tag sale. Of course I allus give 'em away so I think I'm down to two now...

[erieriver]

This was his greatest album for me. "Tin Can Alley" track was the best. I think he's from outside Buffalo. Who is the girl in front?

[DNAblues]

I love Eric Anderson and I too never heard these gems. Thanks so much for posting.

[myrecordcollection]

Glad you enjoyed them. Anderson came here to Pittsburgh a few months ago with Tom Paxton, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the show.

[DNAblues]

The last time I saw Tom Paxton was about 30 years ago at some small club in NJ. He was great.

And Eric Anderson is one of my all-time favorites. Thanks again for the upload.

Eric Andersen is one of my favorite singer-songwriters, and I never heard this one! "Memory of the Future" CD is in my car right now. "'Bout Changes & Things" and "Violets of Dawn" are classics from 60s. He played a whole show in Los Angeles last year. Great! Now lives in Amsterdam, I think. He's timeless.

[Wordman67]

Please post the title track--I love that one!

[troddsy]

its records like these that show you the other side of the corn can coming out of yankee radio....okay mashed potatoes....but still intellectual property says i.

thank you

[bails25]

Would love to hear For What Was Gained from Avalanche

[maida1982a]

I echo request for "Avalanche"!! Thanks-

[myrecordcollection]

Sorry, never heard of it. This is the only Andersen I have.

[written12]

Wow, this isn't the kind of thing you come across often. Anderson, as you mention, has been largely neglected by record companies. He has been living in Norway for many years now, though he does make it back from time to time.

Thanks.

[cjthemusicman]

Thanks so much for this!

You wouldn't happen to have 'Avalanche' somewhere in your collection.....

[numpty1972]

The album cover, and the music reminds me "The incredible string band". Many thanks.
