Search - Eric Anders :: Tethered to the Ground

Tethered to the Ground is Eric Anders' third full-length CD and will be released April 11, 2006. Though there is continuity with his previous releases since Eric wrote many of the songs with the same writing partners from before, particularly Mark O'Bitz, there is also very much a new sound here, largely attributable to some new music partners: the members of Trespassers William. Tethered to the Ground was produced by Matt Brown, Trespassers Williams guitarist and producer. Matt also played most of the guitars and keys. TW's celebrated lead singer, Anna-Lynne Williams, generously contributed some truly wonderful backing vocals, while Ross Simonini, TW's bassist, made an invaluable contribution during recording by playing several instruments including bass. Tethered to the Ground also features Eric's first cover release, Blister in the Sun. Eric changed the lyrics of this 80's party anthem to fit his ethereal, slowed-down version, and he is grateful to receive the approval for the release of his version from Violent Femme and writer of Blister in the Sun, Gordon Gano.
