Search - Eric Anders :: Not at One

The debut release by singer-songwriter Eric Anders was produced by Richard Barron and Eric Anders Rolling Stone critic Gail Worley (www.worleygig.com) ranked Not At One as the #11 Cd of 2004, and the song Struggle (track 4) as the #4 song of 2004. On Sunday, 11/14/04, the WB's The Mountain played Leave You Doubtful, from Not At One. One of the best I've ever heard. --- Derek Sivers, Founder CD Baby, on Not At One This kind of studied, literate songwriting is a gift given to the listener-one that surprises, challenges, questions and gratifies you every time you hear it.... Touching on the trance-like ecstasy of David Gray and the deadly seriousness of Nick Drake, Anders is as engaging a singer and musician as he is writer. This is a highly recommended release and one of the most finished, self-possessed and driven DIY releases we've heard in a long, long time. --- Performing Songwriter Magazine I was literally spellbound when listening to this CD as LA's Eric Anders' balmy intonations assuage the senses in the finest of poetic and romantic traditions.... The song writing quality is consistently high throughout this twelve track album although I would like to make a special case for 'Halcyon Days' with its brooding Hammond organ. 'Leave You Doubtful' gets the album off to a very strong start with Guenevere Measham's cello making a significant contribution. She returns on the stunning title track and elsewhere and the enchanting instrumentation and empathic production (by Anders and Richard Barron) elevate 'Not at One' from a collection of songs to a state aspiring to artistic Nirvana. It really is that good- and if you don't believe me have a listen to the samples on Eric's site www.ericanders.com ... --- From Phil Jackson of www.paradoxone.co.uk
