Aside from his own classics, he's co-written songs with Lou Reed, Townes Van Zandt, Rick Danko, and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead). And his songs have been covered by many artists including Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, Fairport Convention and Peter, Paul & Mary. He is featured in an Andy Warhol film (Space) and in many music documentaries. A full-length documentary about Eric Andersen The Songpoet (released 2019) is available for streaming on PBS.
