5.0 out of 5 stars Seminal recording by influential folk singer/songwriter., September 24, 1998

Fred Neil hails from Florida. In the early 1960s he appeared on the New York folk scene, teaming with Vince Martin for his earliest recordings but soon going solo. This was Fred's first recording on Capitol (original title: "Fred Neil"), and it's a showcase not only of his fine guitar strumming and arrangements but also of one of the richest voices ever to grace the grooves cut in vinyl. There is beauty and depth here. Numerous rock artists heard and were influenced by Fred Neil, including Harry Nilsson (of course) and Jefferson Airplane. The covers were good, but the original is still the best. No serious collection of pop music can be considered complete without this record in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Infinite stars would not be enough!, November 23, 2000

How great to once again hear the magic of Fred. I waited a long time, way past the life of my vinyl recordings, for the sound of Fred to re-emerge. It had to happen! Nothing could stop something/someone this heavenly from appearing again. And it happened. I remember the days of the "Flick" coffee house in Florida, listening, transported. to the man hunched over the mike, mumbling, laughing, SINGING!!Singing? Far more than singing. Fred was the soul, the heart the essence of music. I never wanted the music to stop. I hope that life has been good to Fred. His music made our lives so much more than they would have been. His music made our lives better. And now I can just keep listening!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Subjective is all, January 6, 2000

This just happens to be one of those albums that was soundtrack to a pleasant period of time in my life. Also, Neil has a great voice and the tunes go down like sipping whiskey. I remember when the space shuttle went down, a local (Public Radio) dj played "Dolphins" several times in a row....and for some reason that seemed about as apt a response as any I ever heard. Good album! Buy it and listen to it.
