Cliff Eberhardt is one of the best songwriters of his generation. His work features timeless tunes with the kind of hooks that grab you, and lyrics worthy of poets and sometimes great thinkers. But I love his guitar playing. He's played lead guitar for Melanie and Richie Havens, among others. And he plays the dobro like no one else I know.
Cliff is the real deal.
There's nothing phony about the man or his music. This interview found him home on a late April evening in western Massachusetts. No, at first they didn't want me to produce. But they let me. Now they're happy they did.
