"The first career-spanning anthology ... Eric Anderson was considered one of Woody's children when he emerged during the folk revival of the 1960s. But like Dylan, he's more than a folk singer - truly one of the original singer-songwriters, transcending dusty boxcar sagas for the examination of existential dilemmas, with the natural sob in his distinctive tenor a powerfully effective emotional conduit. This 2-CD collection extends from a rare duet with Phil Ochs in 1964 and excerpts from his first album (1965's "Today Is The Highway") through his most well-known compositions "Thirsty Boots", "Violets Of Dawn", "Blue River" and "Is It Really Love At All"".
