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. He has broken the boundaries of songwriting with a 26 minute recitative and incorporating literary influences and works in his writing. He is currently working on a memoir.
