Fred Neil

Fred Neil (1967) is a spare, mood-driven folk album that mixes acoustic folk and folk rock with touches of blues and rock and roll. Neil's deep, resonant baritone and relaxed, roomy arrangements put focus on introspective, often melancholic songwriting, with mostly acoustic instrumentation and subtle electric accents. The record reflects the intimate, contemplative strand of 1960s folk and helped shape a more soulful, low-key approach to singer songwriter performance.
