His songs have been covered by Mary Chapin Carpenter, Judy Collins, John Denver, Linda Ronstadt, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and many others. He has also co-written songs with Bob Weir, Townes Van Zandt, Rick Danko, and Lou Reed. Now Y&T Music is proud to present Woodstock Under the Stars, a 3 CD Set with 35 songs (plus an introduction track).
