Though less widely known than folk-revival contemporaries like Joan Baez or Bob Dylan, Eric Andersen is the consummate folk singer-songwriter, with a rich vocal tone and a knack for evocative, heartfelt lyricism. Andersen's entry in the label-wide VANGUARD VISIONARIES series gathers 10 of his original songs from his five 1965-69 albums, including his signature song, "Thirsty Boots," and fan favorites like "Come To My Bedside" and "Close the Door Lightly When You Go." This is a perfect introduction to Andersen's Vanguard tenure.
