#62. Fred Neil | Fred Neil (1966)

Fred Neil? Anyone? Anyone? OK, when I first bought this album, I had no idea who Fred Neil was, but I then discovered that he wrote one of my favorite songs from a movie, "Everybody's Talkin'" from Midnight Cowboy.


I also learned that Neil was a very influential folk-rock singer inspiring many artists of the day, including Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian (of the Lovin' Spoonful) and Bob Dylan. This was an OK album and I don't really have that much to say about it. I imagine it was on the list because of Neil's influence on other artists. That's great. Thanks, 1001 Albums.
