Fred Neil - Bleecker Macdougal
Review by John Dezember
Bleecker Macdougal is a timeless album that showcases the talents of the late Fred Neil. Released in 1965, this album captures the essence of Greenwich Village's folk scene during the early 1960s. Neil's distinctive voice and unique songwriting style shine through on every track.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Bleecker & MacDougal," a song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Neil's voice is filled with emotion as he sings about the struggles of life in the city. "Blues on the Ceiling" is another standout track, with Neil's vocals accompanied by a simple acoustic guitar riff.
One of the most memorable tracks on the album is "The Dolphins," a song that has been covered by countless artists over the years. Neil's lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, and his vocals are filled with a sense of longing and melancholy.
