New in the DylanCover.com collection: Erik

One Too Many Mornings b/w She Belongs To Me
Erik
single
45: General international 350; 1966 (US)

I don't have any bio information about Erik, but this double Dylan cover 45 was produced by Alan Lorber, of "Bosstown sound" fame and the man behind the Metropolitan Pops Orchestra LP (see Sept.21 post.)
She Belongs To Me (the B-side) is a typical mid-60s folk-rocker, Byrd-ish with the requisite jingle-jangle guitars. One Too Many Mornings has a much more lush, pop sound, with strings and orchestral backing. If you listen closely, I believe it is parts of the Metro Pops/Alan Lorber Orchestra track with vocal and guitar added! For his part, "Erik" was surely hired due to his nasal vocal style, not a soundalike but Dylan-ish.
