Moody, bluesy, and melodic, Fred Neil was one of the most compelling folk-rockers to emerge 

from Greenwich Village in the mid-'60s. His albums showcased his extraordinarily low, 

rich voice on intensely personal and reflective compositions, 

sounding like a cross between Tim Buckley and Tim Hardin.

Fred Neil's self-titled second album was a languid and fluid gem that continues to stand outside 

of time decades later. The beautifully sad, introspective songs of weary modern urban disaffection 

that Neil brought to these sessions in 1967 are among the best he ever wrote, and the

 perfectly balanced electric instrumentation suits them to a T. Neil's calm, wearied basso vocals 

pull things along here at a decidedly unhurried pace, and the songs themselves seem to drift 

organically into being as he sings them, until listening to this album begins to feel like floating. 

And what songs! "The Dolphins" and "Everybody's Talkin'" -- a huge hit in a cover version 

by Harry Nilsson -- are classics by anybody's definition, and Neil's reconstruction of 

Libba Cotton's "Shake Sugaree" as "I've Got a Secret" is a perfect example of the 

folk process alive and well in a commercial recording studio. Neil had absolutely no interest 

in the business aspect of making music, though, and where most musicians seek the spotlight, 

he shunned it, which meant Fred Neil the album went nowhere commercially, although 

it influenced countless other artists. Fred Neil, all these years later,

remains a haunting and reassuring masterpiece...(AllMusic)
