Fred Neil - Trav'lin Man: The Early Singles (Remastered) (2013)

Fred Neil's early collected singles. As the author of standards including "The Dolphins," "Everybody's Talkin'" and "Other Side To This Life," Fred Neil needs no introduction to music fans. But before becoming a folksinger and profound influence on Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, John Sebastian and others, he worked as a jobbing singer, songwriter and session musician around New York. His early songs were recorded by artists including Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, yet his own six Pop and Rockabilly singles, from 1957 and 1961 have rarely been heard since. Here they are for the first time ever offering a fascinating and historically important insight into one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters of all time.
