Overlooked

Fred Neil’s “The Dolphins” from 1966 drifts between folk, jazz, & psychedelia, with electric guitar and bouzouki

Lyrically it’s simple but his delivery ads complexity and weight

A true masterpiece

By Special Request

Fred Neil “Come Back Baby,” Other Side of This Life, 1971

Les McCann on the piano

Old blues tune. Neil just sits in it. No hurry. His low voice doing what it always did, making the room feel low light & half empty

"Just when you think Fred Neil (Capitol ST- 2665) is going to be boring, he hits with some chord change - some riff - something that not only knocks you out, but leaves you wondering how your head could be blown that easily. The cat is so weird, so deceptively low-key yet engrossing that he carries you along and you don't know where you've been until after he's gone way. Almost every cut is good, but with Nick Venet producing, it's hard to miss. "That's the Bag I'm In" (Canned Heat's Al Wilson on harp) could be the heaviest number; go buy it and decide for yourself. America needs Fred Neil." (L.A. von Getchell)
