eric andersen blue river stages the lost album 2xcd comp re Copy Prot. singing guitar linesEric Andersen, a folk singer songwriter of considerable talent, created Blue River and Stages during the early 1970sa pivotal era for folk music's evolution. Both albums were mostly unheard for decades until this 2014 release on BGO Records united them. The music moves between introspective acoustic ballads and fuller arrangements, capturing a songwriter in transition. Andersen's voice carries quiet authority; his melodies are genuinely crafted.
