This song, written by Fred, appears on the album Fred Neil released in 1966. The song was re-released in 1969 by Harry Nilsson for the movie Midnight Cowboy. It won a Grammy. Today we're celebrating Fred's birthday! He would have been 76.
There was a spell on The Daily Choice where anything by Wooden Wand was tossed in to the column just by the sole fact that James Jackson Toth had placed his Midas-like hands upon it. The love never ceased for J.J. Toth I just found new things to post but the fact that Woodsist is [...]
This is from an album called Troubadours of the Folk Era, Vol.2.
After almost a decade since his death, the enigma of Fred Neil continues to puzzle many of his fans. A tremendously respected songwriter and performer who inspired many, including John Sebastian, David Crosby, and Bob Dylan, he is most remembered as the composer of "Everybody's Talkin'," the Midnight Cowboy theme that became a mega-hit for Harry Nilsson. But it was just one of many for Neil, who seemed headed to major stardom during the 1960s but spent most of the last 30 years of his life in quieter pursuits. Born in Cleveland and raised [...]
From the clatter of the Greenwich Village 60s folk scene came a voice that was inspired, authentic, and extraordinarily deep. Fred Neil had one of those unmistakable voices, a baritone that could rumble your brain and leave cracks in your spine. Add to that the skills of one of the better blues-folk songwriters; his songs [...]
This is a Fred Neil song though most of us remember Jefferson Airplane. MP3 File
You probably think Harry Nilsson when you hear this song, but it was released first in 1966 on Fred Neill's self titled second album. He wrote the song. MP3 File
After a prayer to the audioblog goddess in which I promised, "No more Eddie Fisher!" she relented and finally allowed me to post this song. One of my lifetime favorites. MP3 File
I played this song a couple of years ago so if you feel a sense of deja vu, go with it. Fred Neil is probably one of the lesser known singer-songwriters of the sixties folk-rock era, but it would take pages to describe the influence Fred Neil had on the development of folk-rock and on so many of the artists who emerged during those early 1960's. When Bob Dylan arrived in Greenwich Village in late 1961, he played harp for Fred Neil at the Wha? In a 1984 interview, Dylan recalled that Neil "...had a strong [...]
"I'm not the one to tell this world How to get along I only know that peace will come When all the hate is gone I`ve been searching...for the dolphins in the sea Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me."

Play it: The Sopranos Ep. 6.10 This week is one of those 'further the plot' episodes. Johhny Sack pleads guilty for a reduced sentence and as a result has to admit he led the New York division of La Cosa Nostra , angering his crew (specifically Phil "the hairdo.") Add him to the Sopranos Dead Pool . Speaking of the SDP, Vito (or, as he's known in NH: Vince) has moved in with Johnny Cakes and we're treated [...]
Play it: The Sopranos Ep. 6.09 This week we not only find out that Christopher has a girlfriend, but also that she's pregnant. Where has she been this whole season, anyway? Being an upstanding Catholic (albeit a violent, swearing, misogynistic, junkie Catholic,) Christopher offers to make her an honest woman, but it's obvious that it's because of the dearly departed Adriana that he's doing it. After he and Tony steal some wine off of thieves (and Tony gets Chris' AA-ass [...]
