Eric Andersen - Is It Really Love at All?

[zimzoomit]

whoever posted that tripe about the background noises being Joni M..what an idiot

[darlenedaveable]

Love him, I used to nurse my daughter and then put this album on and he would sing her to sleep every night, that was 27 years ago, gives me that peaceful feeling.

[harleybunt]

Wanna email me a copy of the album? We'd be grateful

[ceztko]

The song is actually shortened compared to the album version I have.

[zimzoomit]

If you read the book, GIRLS LIKE US, about the lives & musical paths of Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon, you would know that Joni learned about open turnings from Eric. I would REALLY like to see a YouTube clip of him performing Down At The Cantina, one of two songs I learned of his in the late 70s. The other one was this one.

The backup vocals were Joni M having sex with a group of friends.

[zimzoomit]

I am grateful to a guitar player, George Murphy, who performed in Boulder, Co, in the 1970's, who taught this song of Eric's to me (thank you, George), regards, Gail.

[zimzoomit]

another beautiful song he did was Down At The Cantina

[zimzoomit]

Wish he or someone else could upload another beautiful song he did, Down At The Cantina

[LisaSue18]

first heard it in the 70's and loved it, still do. What ever happened to Eric?

[Mickagume]

A wonderfully gentle man and his beautiful music. There is only one Eric Andersen. (And as far as playing it at a party, wormpiano...when has a party had anything to do with anything serious or contemplative?)...but thanks, greatly, for the upload!)

[Cristina1940]

I love him..is a great:)

[handymanm]

Beautiful song! This era was the begining of my musical education. Lobo "I'd Love You to Want Me" Mac Davis " Don't Get Hooked on Me" Johnny Nash... Ect Ect...

If I'd heard this song, I would have loved it then too.

[MrHenrikaskeland]

Please add Eric Andersen`s Fan page on facebook:) For tour dates and updates.

[RoyFive]

Do you or does anyone have Avalanche available for download? Would love to hear It's Coming And It Won't Be Long.

[bryceandniko]

jericho Harp was sooooooo great

[boomerlady]

Are you just a face in someone's fading memory?

[nickellodeon55]

[dpgjmg]

I haven't heard this song since the 70's--and i still remember all the words

[JustJoe222]

One of my favorite songs from the 70's, brings back many memories. To 909Films....yes I remember the version by Jericho Harp as well. I believe I still have that LP somewhere in the archives.....:)

[9erfandex]

Thank You: You Tube for the ever accomodating space, wormpiano for the effort for the upload, AND Of Course Eric Anderson for blessing us with one really bitter sweet love song, I could so see this as a party closer after a night of ribald raucous rock and roll! I can also view it as an excuse for turning down the lights, and getting down to some serious fifi, or some thing that I've heard love called!

[jerry854]

I remember the Jericho Harp version of this song first (somewhere about 1976) as well. I love this song by them. Much better than Anderson. I was lucky enough to find the single on ebay. i am a happy camper. One day I may put it on You Tube.

[Beelzebob]

I love this song. I used to perform this one 35 ago

[champlain9]

This is a beautiful song, it helped me deal with my troubles when I was in my early 20's. It's amazing how a song can really fit with your emotions at the time. Joni Mitchell was bacgrounf vocals for this LP. Thanks for posting.

[sugardeb]

lot of memories... lot of memories...

[909Films]

I remember this song performed by Jericho Harp. Does anyone else remember the same?? In any case, this song came out when I was going through a BAD break up. It was a perfect message for that time in my life. Funny how that can happen!

[JustJoe222]

I thought I was the only one who remembered Jericho Harp....I believe I still have the LP somewhere in my collection.

[thesilverslumber]

this song has 40 years, think about it

[znarf541]

Really boring...

[VintageLady1980]

Great talent! Someone please post more of his songs on Youtube! :)

[LeoGorcey]

My favorite song of all time.

Eric is one of the true poets of the 60's

[ScooterNerd]

If one is familiar with Joni's voice it's quite apparent she is singing backing vocals.

Andersen is terribly undervalued, a brilliant songwriter.

[vsibirsky]

Loved finding this on u tube. Agree.. back up sounds like Joni to me.

[JiggersGenius]

I'm told and I've read that the backup vocals are by Joni Mitchell. I would never have known. But, my English professor told me about this singer. I like it. New discoveries.

[rnr5682]

thanks for posting--brings back so many great memories. tremendous recording

[davidpockettrpt]

What a beaut of a song! Jim Croce could have done it w/just his guitar, but the backing for Eric's version is gorgeous.

Thanks for posting a real gem.
