I want to say a massive thank you to Tim Eriksen for his time, words and music. You can explore more of his work by heading to www.timeriksenmusic.com. You can purchase his albums through Bandcamp. I also highly suggest exploring any number of Tim Eriksen’s many collaborations, not limited to but including: - Bottle (a collaboration between Tim & Eliza Carthy) - Žabe i Babe, (Bosnian folk-pop group, composed of Tim, his late wife, Minja Lausevic, Trista Newyear & Donna Kwon. The group recorded one album, Drumovi, in the 90’s as a statement against the genocide and war happening in the former Yugoslavia). - Northampton Harmony (Sacred Harp music)- Cordelia’s Dad (hard-core punk, turned ballad-singing folk musicians)If you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing it with friends, supporting my work through Patreon, or subscribing and rating it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.
