Fred Neil

A collection from 2009 bringing together two of his albums from the 1960's. The ultimate singer/songwriter!! Classic 60's Folkie!!

You don't know the name …. How about his song, 'Everybody's Talking'? Surely you've heard that song at some place and time on some radio station in your lifetime. Someone else may have been singing it but you've heard it. It's one of those timeless classics.

  • Greg Copeland - Pretty Girl Rules the World ..... Being a fan of Jackson Browne in the 1970's you would eventually read or hear the name, Greg Copeland, one of his early songwriting mentors.
  • Neil Young - Cowgirl In the Sand / Cinnamon Girl
  • Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here ..... The first time I flew, I heard this song the previous evening played live in Borders by a couple of local guys.

I really didn't want to board that plane in the morning.
