"In Blues, Ballads and Work Songs, the basic concept is to cover the complete range of traditional folk/blues songs that were an inherent part of his childhood up to the present time with his own inimitable compositions. To quote Eric: Blues, Ballads & Work Songs is an album I have been working on for most of my life. Its release coincides with my 60th birthday and it celebrates the music that first inspired me to become a guitar-playing singer. Being as passionate about writing songs as I am about singing and playing traditional material, I couldn't resist including the self-penned tunes at the end of the record. These newer songs, are the 'children' of the older ones." (Acousticsounds)
