The Forgotten Fred Neil.....

[Nai Noswad]

Late last night, playing some John Prine-
(as you do.) and got to thinking about this guy, Dylan used to rave about him, and was a regular in the village way back.
Harry Nilssons hit from the movie Midnight Cowboy raised some interest.... but largely was an untapped source... few years back an excellent book was written as a tribute - check him out - Fred Neil.

... the original.
