An 18-track compilation of the best of Eric Andersen's recordings for the Vanguard label. Andersen has been performing as a folk-based singer-songwriter since the early 1960s. His songs have a more romantic bent than his socially conscious peers like Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. It includes two rare tracks that never appeared on Andersen's album releases - 'Boots Of Blue' and 'Rambler's Lament' only appeared on the 1993 compilation The Original New Folks. The remaining 16 tracks are taken from his five Vanguard studio albums. Vanguard. 2005.
