Title: Erik gets better with age!
Product review: This is Erik's first "solo" album since the sixties. He was with the Tarriers, The Weavers, The Rooftop Singers, plus a couple of 1 album groups. He was one of the most influential performers in the early sixties - playing banjo on dozens of records, opening up new musical vistas on his solo recordings, bringing the 12-string guitar into the limelight - inspiring a mob of aspiring folk singer/players. This album is a lovely mix of old and new - old songs like "Sail Away Ladies", "Old Ben Johnson", "Jay Gould's Daughter, .." and some of Erik's own songs, "A Place in the Hills", "It Doesn't Matter at all..." and especially the title song, "Child, Child". Erik provides his own harmonies, plays both guitar and banjo - this is him through and through. All of his musical abilities blossom on this one - you'll listen to it over and over and find yourself humming the last one you listened to. A must for old Erik fans and great introduction for new ones.
