We are both privileged and delighted to release Eric's new album "Blues,
Ballads & Work Songs", a further enhancement to Opus 3's association with
Eric which goes back to 1977 when he was in effect 'discovered' with the
success of his debut album "Rainbow People".
Other albums over the years have included in 1994 "Spirit & The Blues"
which proved to be his breakthrough album with great success world-wide,
and more recently "Just Like Love"
In this album the basic concept is to cover the complete range of
traditional folk/blues songs which were an inherent part of his childhood
up to the present time with his own inimitable compositions.
To quote Eric:'Blues, Ballads & Work Songs' is an album I have been
working on for most of my life. Its release coincides with my 60th
birthday and it celebrates the music that first inspired me to become a
guitar-playing singer.
Being as passionate about writing songs as I am about singing and playing
traditional material, I couldn't resist including the self-penned tunes at
the end of the record. These newer songs, are the 'children' of the older
ones.
As always we have strived to achieve the authentic sound which Eric has
always loved and it may be of interest to note that the recordings were
made using the very same Valve Stereo-Microphone as on his first album!
