Editorial Review: Album Description: With a deeply resonant voice that exuded a hundred things at once -- pain, joy, weariness and decades of experience -- Fred Neil created a small body of work that covered the world like paint. No one from the vibrant early '60s Greenwich Village folk scene had more staying power than this legendary recluse. Neil's 1964 debut, Bleecker and MacDougal, captures the great man at the apex of his talents. Exact repro on high-definition vinyl, from the original analog masters! Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Ladies and Gentlemen - Fred Neilthis is a pass the tourch album and I'd buy it for double the price, OK? Rating: - wonderfully resonant Voice of a forgotten music idolFred Neil was the King of the East Village coffee shop, pass-the-hat folksingers in the very early sixties and this cd shows why. Much of his origins and late life are shrouded in rumour and mystery. Sinatra, Johnny Cash, even Jim Morrison had great baritone voices, but Fred Neil's Sound was really something else. Neil had the most spectacularly deep resonant baritone voice, a voice that would sound wonderful reading the phone book! Everyone idolized him, everyone imitated him, everyone covered his songs: Roy Orbison, The Jefferson Airplane, the Youngbloods, Harry Nilsson, Tim Buckley, Tim Hardin, Judy Henske, John Sebastian, Gram Parsons, Linda Ronstadt, Tom Rush, Roger McGuinn. An unknown, awestruck, social climbing Bob Dylan ... Read More: Rating: - TO MATTHIAS FUTERMANSorry to say it's true, Mr. Fred Neil passed on July 7, 2001. Heart attack. He didn't leave us a huge musical legacy, but this album is one of the finest of the Sixties folk boom. "The Other Side of This Life", "Blues on the Ceiling", "Bleecker & McDougall" are undisputed classics, the latter a dark, cynical look at the then-current scene, very rare for the time. Great album. Rating: - TO MUSIC FAN,THIS IS NOT A REVIEW, BUT A SIMPLE REPLY TO 'MUSIC FAN' AND HIS COMMENTS FROM 'December 26, 2001'. UNLESS I'VE MISSED A RECENT OBITUARY, FRED NEIL'S DEMISE IS GREATLEY EXAGGERATED. THOUGH RECLUSIVE, HE IS SUPPOSEDLY LIVING IN FLORIDA.(PLEASE REFER TO 'AME RICAN TROUBADOUR' WRITTEN BY MARK BREND, CIRCA 2001), PURSUING ANIMAL RIGHTS CAUSES. COULD MR. NEIL BE PERSUADED TO AT LEAST COMMENT AS TO HIS WELL-BEING, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I HOPE MR. NEIL IS ENJOYING HIS CURRENT LIFE, WHILE MUSIC ENTHUSIAST'S SUCH AS MYSELF ENJOY HIS PAST LIFE AS A MUSICIAN OF MERIT. Rating: - Magic experiencehere is a review that i encountered surfing the web: ...There was always an air of quiet tragedy to Fred Neil, a great singer-songwriter who, despite penning monster hits like Everybody's Talkin' and The Dolphins, remained on the fringes of the Greenwich Village folk-scene before quitting music altogether. These days he refuses interviews, preferring to concentrate his energies on dolphin research. He never had a hit in his own right; it was Harry Nilsson who made Everybody's Talkin' famous after its inclusion on the Midnight Cowboy soundtrack and The Dolphins had its biggest success in the hands of Tim Buckley. Yet, Buckley apart, no-one could harness the stormy elemental power at the heart of his dark ballads quite as convincingly as ... Read More: |
