Eric Andersen

Judy Collins, along with Eric Andersen, Tom Rush and Arlo Guthrie, recorded this CD from a live performance of The Judy Collins Wildflower Festival on June 30, 2002. Of the fifteen cuts here, Ms. Collins sings six solos; Tom Rush does two as does Eric Andersen; and Arlo Guthrie sings one and does a poem that he has written. The last three cuts, "City of New Orleans", "Thirsty Boots", and "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" are sung by everyone with different singers doing the verses. Tom Rush's version of "The Remember Song" is a nice, light number about all the things he as a middle-aged man forgets. (Sounds eerily familiar.)

After playing thousands of shows around the world, Matt Andersen has mastered the art of delivering captivating and commanding performances that audiences simply can't keep quiet about. Andersen's well-earned word-of-mouth reputation is backed up by two European Blues Awards, a Juno nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of the year, six Maple Blues Awards for Male Vocalist of the year and over 10 million views on YouTube. With Live At Olympic Hall, Andersen's thunderous, one-of-a-kind voice is joined by his superbly talented friends from the 10-piece band, The Mellotones. Featuring danceable blasts of brass, slinky slide guitar solos and whirling organs, this live recording captures the unmistakable magic of seeing a master at work.

Quand le temps s’étire, quand le paysage que l’on parcourt est sans fin, c’est en cet instant, ici même, que la sérénité approche et qu’elle s’offre à nous. Lorsque le futur et le passé se confondent, là où le Nord et le Sud ne sont plus qu’un, la paix sans doute se comprend et peut enfin s’affirmer. C’est ce que nous dit à sa manière la musique du guitariste Gérard Pansanel, qui pour son dernier enregistrement, Future Early Years (label Nord/Sud ; Coadex), a réuni comme à un point de maturité maîtrisée le contrebassiste Arild Andersen et le batteur Patrice Héral. Ces trois musiciens ont trouvé ici pour leur première rencontre une sorte d’équilibre, d’écoute réciproque et partagée, mais aussi d’attention aux choses du monde, à tous les univers possibles et imaginables. L’équilibre est parfait. A chaque instant, chaque mesure. Pansanel a beaucoup voyagé.

Awesome second solo studio disc by this outstanding modern day guitar hero from Denmark featuring 10 songs of supreme, impressive, blues-based, heavy lead guitar dominated, bad-ass, six string riffage that lands killer beyond belief. Speaking the musical language of the guitar greats and flying close to the sun, we thought it was high time that Martin J. Andersen land with creative strength & power on his first all instrumental guitar effort entitled "Victory In Motion."
