Eric von Schmidt : Envy The Thief

Eric von Schmidt's 'Envy The Thief' from the 2002 Tomato album, 'Living On The Trail', with Eric on guitar and vocals, Amos Garrett on slide guitar, Paul Butterfield on harmonica, Billy Rich on bass, and Chris Parker on drums.

Eric "Rick" Von Schmidt (May 28, 1931 -- February 2, 2007) was an American singer-songwriter and Grammy Award recipient. He was associated with the folk/blues revival of the 1960s and a key part of the East Coast folk music scene that included Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Richard & Mimi Farina, among many others. Eric was also a talented painter, and it was this that became the center of his creative life. Bob Dylan absorbed much of Eric's encyclopedic knowledge of American folk, country and blues, and one of Eric's LPs is in the cover photograph of Bob's 'Bringing It All Back Home' album. Dylan once wrote of Eric von Schmidt, "For here is a man who can sing the bird off the wire and the rubber off the tire. He can separate the men from the boys and the note from the noise. The bridle from the saddle and the cow from the cattle. He can play the tune of the moon. The why of the sky and the commotion from the ocean. Yes he can."
