Well into his 30th year of recording, Eric Andersen picks up where his 1989 masterpiece Ghosts upon the Road left off. His 15th album was eight years in the making, pieced together from collaborations with Rick Danko, Richard Thompson, Benmont Tench, Howie Epstein, and Bob Dylan bassist Tony Garnier. It demonstrates the virtues of patient songwriting in sensual love lyrics, sprawling wanderer's laments, and Beat-poetry-inspired litanies of sins and ecstasies. "He thought of his mother / He thought of the automat / The space shuttle / Jersey cows and poison lollipops / As the dry heaves rose in his chest," he intones over a smoky, funky groove. Of all the folksingers to find their way out of the '60s, only Dylan and Joni Mitchell have remained as restless and provocative as Andersen. His imagination has grown ever more sure, his voice has become an unearthly, stately whisper, and his songs are still shapes by a singular, exceptional artistic will. --Roy Kasten

Eric Andersen's Mature Tour-de-Force.......2000-05-11

I first heard some of the material on this album when Eric Andersen appeared at the now defunct Folkways Coffee House in Peterborough, New Hampshire on Thanksgiving eve in 1992. Andersen is the real thing, a super talent who writes, composes, and performs mostly his own material. That night his rendition of "Rain Falls Down in Amsterdam" brought chills, cheers, and a standing ovation from the hundred or so members of the audience, who were moved by his graphic, emotional, and deeply personal warning of the nascent rise of neo-nazis thugs all over the world. Anderen has long been a personal favorite, and is even better in person than on CD, which is no mean feat. Herein, from the opening bars of "Sudden Love" all the way to "Hills of Tuscany" he gives new credence to the idea that real talent can continue to grow and mature litteraly over decades and decades. Like James Taylor or Van Morrison, Andersen's music is based on timeless melodies and lyrics, but unlike these other superstars, he imbues his songs with a gritty edge that reveal his insight into the nature of things. Most of the songs in this CD are written by Andersen, (with the single exception of "When I'm Gone"), and the range of his writing and composition talent is apparent. His voice is at once sweet, mellow, and smoky, and his ability and arrangements based around his sparkling acoustic guitar work is marvelous to listen to again. Buy this album, listen to it, and be prepared to be entertained and amazed.

A long way from thirsty boots.......1999-12-04

some people change and some just stay the same..trouble is most of this generation of writers just did themselves in.....thank god eric andersen is around to inform us what happens to talented writers when they stick around for the distance(ok ok dylan is still here but thats another planet)......eric has gotten sad about the world and our foibles and that could be a real drag to listen to but it isnt...he even makes a murder in chinatown groove along.If you didnt recognize the voice you would think this was robbie robertsons first solo album.So if you are expecting the old eric forget it but if you like the sound of change listen in

Lyrical & Intelligent.......1999-05-11

Like a fine wine, time has matured the work of this master songwriter. Sudden Love is about as close to a hit single as Eric is likely to have, but the depth of emotion and the sincerity of soul introspection is fine dining in an era when most music is like fast food. This CD compliments Eric's efforts with Fjeld, Danko & Andersen on the 2 Ryko CD's. If you're looking within yourself for answers, enhance the journey with this beautiful music!

a masterpiece !!!!!!!!!.......1999-04-10

Having been an Eric Anderson fan for more than a few years, it was a real joy to have him finally release a solo album. This album follows the path that Ghosts Upon the Road set. A true living legend whose songs never fail to evoke feelings. The song Rain Falls Down in Amsterdam brings to chilling reality the menace of racism. Not a bad song on the album, and such variety. An album you will truly enjoy.......

Eric in concert.......1999-03-14

I haven't bought this CD yet, but I sure will! After seeing Eric Andersen in concert I'm hooked. His songs speak to the soul in a way that is hard to describe.

Chris Spedding's finest hour before he joined The Wombles.......1999-08-18

Although too "wilfully weird" for John Peel, this has become one of the seminal English underground records of the 1960s.

yessireebob.......2003-02-05

Modest yet egotistical, subtle yet overwhelming, dulcet yet cacophonous, this is one brilliant record.

found by chance..........2002-11-08

It was totally by chance that I found out about Ill Lit. A friend wanted to go up to the local college town to hang out one evening, and while we were at a coffee shop Ill Lit's lead singer came in and handed us a flier, saying, "Our show's in an hour; please come!" We went, not knowing what to expect, and were met with some really pleasant, mellow, different music. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the use of white noise et al in the background but it blends remarkably well with the vocals and creates another layer of depth to the sound.

Do give it a listen. The choicest tracks in my opinion are "Diner Girls," "Welshratz," "Prestonhood," "Whitewashing" and "I Would Be True," but there's not a bad song on the album!
I've already told some friends to seek it out, and I'm eager to hear more from this inspiring group.

Heart Felt Music.......2002-10-09

A fantastic listening experience! A poet/song writer on par with the likes of the old Kristofferson; alot of soul, feeling and the heartfelt condition of life. Set aside some time to enjoy this cd, it will be time well spent.

Totally fresh, new and exciting music!.......2002-10-03

Fresh, new and exciting are just some of the adjectives that come to mind when I(an older listner) heard this music. The lyrics are poetic and the music supports the lyrics. This young singer/song-writer is special(d.ahearn is how he identifies himself)and brings real listening pleasure in the otherwise woeful songscape of recent music. Keep at it young man-the music world needs your voice and vision.

Refreshing.......2002-10-01

Every time I listen to the songs on this CD I hear something I've not noticed before. It's freshness is what captures me and encourages me to listen again and again. The melodies are at times haunting and the lyrics deeply thoughtful. The sounds are infused with soulfulness and feeling. I am enjoying this and look forward to hear more in the future.
