My personal review and reflection:
This "ancient" record from 1970 has it all. Shawn Phillips seems to control every music style. He sounds like The Who, he sounds like Bob Dylan, he sonds like everyone. He doesn't copy, he does it his own way and he does it with skill. Eric is on one track: Man Hole Covered Wagon. If you listen carefully, you can hear his guitar now and then. To buy this record to listen to Eric is a waste of time......... but buy it anyway!!!
