I think that Eric was very well respected in the late '60s/early '70s within
the "Folk" community/audiences. Judy Collins recorded his song "Thirsty
Boots" on her 5th LP. I used to see him in some of the Folk clubs in
Greenwich Village during the '80's--he would usually attract a nice crowd,
but the clubs were fairly small. I know that he and Joni were friends at one
point, and I imagine this was one of the reasons he participated in Joni's
Jazz. "Blue River" is a great LP/CD and is well worth owning, IMHO.
