"Had the punk scene existed in 1812 Lord Byron would have easily claimed the mantle as the First Bad Boy of Rock for having created the original blueprint of a sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll life template that would pave the way for rebels to come like Arthur Rimbaud, William Burroughs, James Dean and Jim Morrison." Eric Andersen Meyer Records has bundled Eric Andersen's three exquisite albums in this special, deluxe edition. 'The Writer Series' is available as a 3-CD set as well as on three perfectly recorded and mastered (DMM mastering) audiophile and heavyweight vinyl records. Packed in an elegant slipcase, the vinyl version in particular has all the makings of a classic and is a landmark release for one of the greatest American singer/songwriters and poets, even in his lifetime! Eric Anderson's voice, songs, guitar and piano playing created a career that has spanned over 55 years. He has recorded 25 albums plus of original songs, and made numerous tours of North America, Europe, and Japan. His first album on New York's Vanguard label was released in 1965. His songs have been recorded and performed by world renown artists such as Ricky Nelson, Judy Collins, Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention, The Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary, Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, The Grateful Dead, Linda Thompson, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Francoise Hardy, plus many others in Europe, Australia, England, and Japan. Eric Andersen is widely regarded as one of the most poetic songwriters that sprang from the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960's. As a musician, he defies categorization. His artful mélange of love, despair, hope and stirred memory has earned him a passionate international following and the respect and admiration of artists ranging from Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen to Lou Reed and Wyclef Jean
