About this product

2002 John Lennon Songwriting Contest - Honorable Mention for 'Back to Bed.' 2002 Just Plain Foks Music Awards - Winner of 'Best College Rock Song' category for 'Afraid to Dance. First of all, don't assume a thing. In fact, don't make a move, unless it's to turn up Afraid to Dance, the debut album by Eric Colville that balances groove-laden poetry with kick-in-the-door-of-your-soul rock. As Eric Colville asks in this Phoenix rising from the ashes to backstroke in a rough sea of song - what about you? That's what this album is all about. Taking his music and thinking aloud battles and challenges we all experience but rarely talk about, and trumpeting the small victories that maybe we would like to relate to, and perhaps will, if we can stop the B.S. and let it out - critics and naysayers be damned. This is Eric Colville, the unedited stream-of-consciousness... Boy? Man? Jealous Guy? Confident Guy? Shy Everyman? Pissed Poet? That's the trick, isn't it? Being a part of this life means feeling a thousand ways at once, in no particular order, with as much consistency as the sway of the palm trees lining the Florida Keys where Eric was raised. They dance to their own rhythm without a shred of self-consciousness. What if someone's watching? What will they think? What will she say? Who really cares! Eric Colville's Afraid to Dance wades through life's entanglements, and while each song will affect you for your own reasons they will affect you just the same. In the looping groove of the title track,'Afraid to Dance,' he challenges you to go ahead and take a chance instead of fretting about possible outcomes and then not doing a damn thing. He sits down with you in 'Damn Near Anything' and laments the sometimes immovable walls between those who should be closest. But in the end, taking walls down doesn't necessarily mean the other side is coming over - after all, this is real li

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.
