		Neil's final album was an odd, stitched-together affair matching one LP side of live, acoustic material with a side of studio leftovers.
		Originally released in early 1967 as simply Fred Neil and re-released as Everybody's Talkin' in 1969 after Harry Nilsson had a huge international hit from the soundtrack of "Midnight Cowboy," this album is one of the greatest progressive folk albums to date.
		Given the late Fred Neil's near mythic reputation as a songwriter, singer, environmentalist, and recluse, the reissue of his 1965 album Bleecker & MacDougal is of historic importance.

	Fred Neil Chapter Excerpt
		"Fred was a natural linkup of various musical styles," observes John Sebastian, soon to play an important role in Neil's shows as an accompanist on harmonica, and soon after that to became a major folk-rock star as the principal singer-songwriter in the Lovin' Spoonful.
		Neil was not the troubadour bent on changing the world or exorcising his personal demons, as many of his competitors in Greenwich Village were.
		The lyrics, too, were among Neil's very best, interspersing musings on the life of dolphins (his enthusiasm for dolphin study is well known) with regrets over ill-fated love, though as with many of his songs, the particulars of the situation are never quite clear.

	Fred Neil - Bleecker & MacDougal
		It’s no mystery however why Neil has kept a hold on the minds and heart of folk fans, even though he hasn’t recorded or performed in nearly 30 years, is now 63 years old, and lives in parts unknown.
		Fred Neil had, without doubt, the single most spectacular male voice in folk music--a liquid bass baritone that inspired hyperbole then and still does today.
		Neil, who earlier in his career had written songs recorded by Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, also worked outside of the folk conventions of the day as a writer.

	Fred Neil Guitar Tabs
		I always liked Fred best when he performed alone, and whenever I knew he was in town performing I would head over to the place -- sometimes I would take my guitar, as it was as much a hang-out as a performance place.
		Fred would get up on the small stage at a coffee house called The Raven's Nest with his 12 string guitar, sit on a tall stool, hunch over the guitar, head hanging down, and play and sing all the songs you have heard on recordings and posted online.
		It's all I have left of Fred, other than the wonderful memories of being there with him in the same room as he basically played just for me and a few other of his fans as we all sat at the front tables.

	Fufkin.com: Fred Neil Obituary by Eliot Wilder
		Seminal Greenwich Village folk singer Fred Neil, who died recently at age 64 of apparent cancer-related causes at his Florida home, was known almost as much for being a legendary recluse as he was for being a legendary songwriter.
		With a style that leaned as much on blues and jazz traditions as it did on folk and psychedelia and a voice that Sebastian called a "honey-laden baritone with the Southern lilt," mercurial Neil embodied all that was new and exciting about the thriving folk movement in the early '60s.
		The recent double-disc set "The Many Sides of Fred Neil" compiles much of what has made him one of the definitive artists of his generation.

		From what little I know, Fred Neil upped stakes from NYC, quit a protracted habit and moved to Florida where he sailed & swam.

		He wrote one of the most famous songs of the late 20th century, but Fred Neil, who has died aged 64 of cancer, remains one of the most mysterious cult heroes of folk music.
		Neil rarely gave interviews, could not stomach fame, and appeared repulsed at the success of his song, a disdainful commentary on human alienation in public life.
		In the early days, Neil performed in a duo with Vince Taylor, with whom he recorded the album, Tear Down The Walls.

		Fred Neil had been a revered figure in the beatnik-favored coffee houses of New York's Greenwich Village folk music scene since the late 1950s when, in 1967, he released his third and best-realized album, the self-titled Fred Neil.

		Of course, the best-known song on Fred Neil is "Everybody's Talkin'," which was a huge hit for singer Harry Nilsson after it appeared as the theme song for the film Midnight Cowboy.

	Vince Martin & Fred Neil - Tear Down the Walls - 180 Gram Vinyl
		The rumbling baritone of Fred Neil and Vince Martin's earthy tenor…It's a vocal blend every bit as impressive as the great duos in music history: the Everly Brothers and Simon and Garfunkel – with a Greenwich Village twist, of course.
		Put Neil and Martin, a pair of New York City folkie legends-in-the-making, into a recording studio with a young, pre-Spoonful John Sebastian on harmonica and Felix Pappalardi (later to produce Cream and the Youngbloods) on guitarron (an acoustic Mexican bass guitar) and magic is inevitable.
		This, of course, is Fred Neil in 1964, well before he just walked away from the folk scene and split for Florida and premature retirement in 1971, to remain an enigma until his recent death.

		Too little is known about Fred Neil; maybe that was the way he preferred it.
		Tear Down the Walls is a pleasant, light folk album of the kind that proliferated in the early sixties: the voices of Neil and his singing partner, Vince Martin, blend well and their performances have some charm, but this is pleasant rather than essential.
		Neil's strong, bass voice is unlike any I've encountered before; and in his chord changes and vocal inflecitons, you can hear the genesis of Crosby, Stills and Nash.

		Neil is one-of-a-kind singer, with a soul-searing, gravelly voice and fingers that picked one of the meanest blues guitars in folk.
		It's just Fred, Pete Childs on dobro and second guitar, John Sebastian (later of the Lovin' Spoonful) on harmonica and usually Felix Pappalardi (who later produced Cream's classics) on bass.

		Their obscurity is undeserved for both Fred Neil and Tim Buckley released some great music in their day.

		Other than Bob Dylan, Fred Neil was perhaps the single most influential singer-songwriter of the '60s US folk boom.
		With his cavernous baritone and loose-limbed acoustic guitar strumming, he was probably the first singer-songwriter to integrate jazz and blues into his sound.
		Sadly, the notoriously troubled Neil only left behind a couple of fantastic albums before going into seclusion in his native Florida in the early '70s.

		Before firmly establishing himself as a major singer/songwriter with his 1965 solo debut album Bleecker and MacDougal, Fred Neil was briefly in a duo with folk singer Vince Martin.
		Martin had met Neil around 1960, although the two didn't team up until 1964.
		The record is far more notable for the contributions of Neil (who wrote about half the songs, the others being largely comprised of folk standards) than the far more ordinary-sounding Martin.
