Remembering the Grove "Old Conch" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tear Down the Walls (Audio CD)

I remember Fred and Vince at the Flick in Miami during the 60's. Each was amazing and talented in his own right, but together they created magic. This album captures at least some of the electricity that the blending of their two voices created when you heard them live.
One night Vince was playing at the Flick alone because Fred had done one of his occasional disappearing acts. All of a sudden, as Vince began a song up on stage, Fred's voice filled the small club and meshed with Vince's, causing all of us who knew and appreciated them to catch our breath and hold onto the moment. A little of that is on this disc. Not as much as I would like, but enough to remember the time and the two talents that make this album so special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings Back Memories, April 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tear Down the Walls (Audio CD)

This CD brings back memories of the early 60's when Vince Martin and Fred Neil played at The Flick , The Coffee House, and the Hootenanny here in Miami. I've had the LP forever. Now that I'm getting the CD, I can listen in my car and remember seeing them perform live.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT WORK, GREATER TRAGEDY, December 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tear Down the Walls (Audio CD)

This album is an extraordinary piece that exhibits the great talents of Vince Martin, one of America's unsung singer/songwriters. Martin, who not only accompanies Fred Neil on part of the album (two albums placed on one cd), he also wrote the songs performed by Fred Neil.
The trgedy however, is that Vince Martin has not received any royalties based on the rerelease of these albums and this is just unfair. So, while I encourage the purchase of the album for its sheer greatness, I also encourage you to call the distributor and record companies and let them know that you want to make sure that part of the money you pay is going where it belongs, to the great artist, Vince Martin.
