<p>Fred Neil was an American blues and folk singer and songwriter. Born on March 16, 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio, he made a significant impact on the music industry with his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics. His career spanned several decades, during which he released influential albums such as "Bleecker & MacDougal" and "Fred Neil." Sadly, Fred Neil passed away on July 7, 2001 in Summerland Key, Florida. His legacy lives on through his timeless music that continues to inspire generations of musicians.</p>

A moody NYC masterpiece from the Village circa ‘66! New York folk artist Fred Neil’s eponymous second album may not have been a sales smash, but it inspired countless contemporaries, from Jefferson Airplane to Crosby, Stills and Nash, to Harry Nilsson. It was the latter’s cover of “Everybody's Talkin’,” featured in the <i>Midnight Cowboy</i> soundtrack, that garnered Neil his greatest notoriety, but the album is full of shimmering, surreal gems, like “The Dolphins” and the stunning “Faretheewell.” Neil disappeared into reclusiveness not long after, but his legacy as a thoughtful, complex songwriter lives on.

With a deeply resonant voice that exudes a hundred different things at once – pain, joy, weariness, and decades of experience – Fred Neil created an influential body of work that far outweighs its modest size. Few artists from the vibrant early '60s Greenwich Village folk scene had more staying power than this legendary recluse who inspired the likes of Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, and countless others.
