Eriksen performed on the
Cold Mountain soundtrack, singing with
Riley Baugus on traditional songs such as "I Wish My Baby Was Born" and "
The Cuckoo". He was part of
The Great High Mountain Tour, which celebrated the traditional music of
Cold Mountain and
O Brother, Where Art Thou? T-Bone Burnett, the producer of the
Cold Mountain soundtrack, had Eriksen teach performers the complex style of
Sacred Harp singing. Eriksen has also released seven solo albums:
Tim Eriksen;
Every Sound Below;
Northern Roots Live In Namest;
Soul Of The January Hills;
Star in the East;

Pop Matters review of
Every Sound Below describes it as a "stunning mixture of traditional hymns, songs from the
American Civil War, and Eriksen's own compositions". He also played
Bosnian pop music with the band Zabe I Babe. In 2018, his arrangement, including an original tune, of the song "I Wish the Wars Were All Over" was recorded by
Joan Baez on her 2018 album
