Fred Neil is the second album from Fred Neil, a pioneer folk rock musician, recorded and released in 1966. The album has a more laid-back sound than his debut, and contains his best-known songs; "Everybody's Talkin' " and "The Dolphins". It was re-released in 1969 under the title Everybody's Talkin' in response to the international success of the soundtrack of the movie Midnight Cowboy, which made a hit of the new title track for Harry Nilsson. Music journalist Richie Unterberger characterizes the album as Neil's "best", and it was listed in the first (2005) edition of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, edited by Robert Dimery.

Nice voice, but his stylings are studiously lazy. Grating on the ears. Never heard “Fred Neil” by Fred Neil before, but I did know that Harry Nilsson was disappointed that Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin’” was chosen for Nilsson to sing as the title song of “Midnight Cowboy”, rather than his own composition, “I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City”. Nilsson’s version of “Everybody’s Talkin’” is much better. Lyrics utterly unpoetic. I remember seeing Fred Neil in the background of some old Bob Dylan footage, never knowing that Dylan actually got started in New York playing backup harmonica for Neil. Interesting reversal. The album “Fred Neil” doesn’t wow me now. I doubt it would have wowed me in 1966. 2/5
I thought this was a very good softer, quieter rock album, primarily with Western and folk themes but with some more exotic sounds towards the end of the album. A 4 star rating might not do this one justice, but I don't think it quite rises to the "absolute classic" level of a 5.
Something about the way this is recorded makes it sound extra nice. Folky in a good way, not like the mics used were bad or the instruments especially noisy, but that there was real warmth in the space it was being recorded. There is a great spectrum of songs, and a few of them are shining gems: The opener, Faretheewell, and the closing Raga. The other tracks are best when they utilize Neil's low register. There's something that doesn't quite cohere, though that might disappear after further listening.
Now this is great example of why listening to the 1001 Albums is so worth it. I never heard of Fred Neil and I had no idea what to expect given the album cover, but I'm really glad this is on the list. Here's a guy who invited a young Bob Dylan on stage with him and who influenced Steven Stills, David Crosby, and Joni Mitchell. Wow. Really nice vibe on this album and his voice is outstanding. Great album from start to finish. Everybody's Talkin' became a hit when covered by Harry Nillson in 1969 for the movie Midnight Cowboy. I think the original version on this album is better. His voice is fantastic. Really liked the vibe on songs like I've Got a Secret, Faretheewell, and Green Rocky Road. The Dolphins was a nice chill opener. Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raja has a pretentious name, but it's a cool vibe to end an excellent album.
Nick Cave meets Neil Young, with hints of David Gray, Johnny Cash, Eels, and St Paul & the Broken Bones, which (let's face it) is a pretty spectacular review. I didn't expect much from this seemingly little known 1960s folk album, but it turns out to be brilliant. A deep, soulful voice singing mournful querying lyrics with engaging, natural melody over evocative music is great. Does what it does perfectly. 4/5.
Chill classic country vibes, cool.
This guy didn’t want to be in the music business and just wanted to live at the beach and fuck dolphins and squeeze the heads of any passing children who got too close to his strong tanned arms. Shouldn’t we respect his wishes and let him leave the music business completely by not listening to his albums ever? I’m certainly going to.

Took me by surprise, a really great subdued and acoustically wonderful endeavor
Great record. I had never heard of Fred Neil. Worth a listen.
I don't think I ever would have listened to this on my own, and I'm glad I did. There's a little country in there, and also hear Chris Isaak, which makes complete sense. And a couple of tracks that we know because of more famous singers recording them.
Mediocre folk relic tho it's cool to see the original everybody's talking.
Did you know this guy fucked dolphins? 2.5 stars
Losers’ music, and that’s high compliment. Neil’s voice is unflashy, conversational, a little beaten, a little wistful. Hearing these originals and knowing some of the context feels like finding the source of the Nile. Even finishes with a proper rocker.
On arrival me and my partner were nervous but once we saw the other doggers we felt at ease. The road was a bit noisy but other than that a great crowd. Thx Dai and Linz xx
This is great. Really great. Some great originals, at least one true classic, and some great covers/traditional numbers. I’ve never heard of Fred Neil but his work clearly had a profound influence on Jerry Garcia who would cover many of the same songs with the Dead. This seems an important album in the evolution of folk away from its strict, traditionalist roots and into the realm of free-loving rock and roll. That, and I find Fred’s voice profoundly beautiful. And his original lyrics simple, sweet, and deep. This album has no fat. It carefully captures a watershed moment in the evolution of folk, rock, and Americana. This is one of my favorite discoveries yet.
Oh yeah, I loved this - one of my favorite discoveries from this project so far. Mellow and smooth enough to blend into the background if you're not focusing on it, but rewards attention if you do. Strong opener with "The Dolphins". I'm a sucker for Elizabeth Cotton covers, so loved track 2, and then the quality holds up as the album keeps going, finishing with a psychedelic raga - great stuff! Fave track - "That's the Bag I'm In" for the relatable pessimism...
This sounds great, somehow more brawny that similar folk recordings, probably a combination of his strong baritone and the solid arrangements, more Cash than Dylan. Tim Buckley does the definitive "Dolphins" on "Dream Letter" (RIP Danny Thompson), and I'm not sure I want to hear the final raga again, but overall a good listen and one I'll play from time to time.
Nice, this is what this project is about. Had heard everybody's talkin' before but could pin this song to an artist. Never heard of fred neil before but am very happy to discover him. Find his voice very appealing and like how intimate and personal these songs feel. Cynicrustpetefredjohn raga to close this lp shows some experimental quality that i admire.
Fred Neil I listened to this not so long ago, I’m not sure what prompted it, I think it might have been because The Dolphins was in an episode of The Sopranos. The Dolphins is a fantastic track, the tremulous voice and tremolo guitar are a great combo and I love the solo on, I think, the Bouzouki. Aside from perhaps the very nice psychedelic drone of Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga it’s perhaps a little bit of an outlier from the majority of the rather lovely folk-blues with a hint of country on the rest of the album. He has a great wearied and worn voice and the melancholic melodies and arrangements remind me a little of Jackson C Frank. Everybody’s Talkin’ is of course also a great song, although Nilsson’s cover is probably the better version, but all the songs have a very pleasant and unhurried feel, the electric guitar working nicely with the acoustic and the shuffling rhythm section. It's comfortably a 4, I know I’ll come back to it for some soothing folky blues with some 60’s psychedelic touches and that great careworn voice and sensibility. 🐬🐬🐬🐬 Playlist submission: The Dolphins
This album was terrific. Neil has a really sonorous voice and the backing instrumental arrangements are tasteful and creative. Great songs and a really good album.
Country tinged folk rock, was quite enjoyable
Can't believe I have never heard this album. So good. Will add to my vinyl collection.
Great voice, gentle songs.
Smooth and classic. High quality country-folk with some unexpected hits. We enjoyed chilling out to this.
Brooding folk rock with style.
I actually quite enjoyed this one. Kind of folk rock or country. It was good
Country twang with some class and heart. It was smooth and passionate, undoubtedly enjoyable.
A decent folk record for a rainy day.
Alors que je rencontrais Fred Neil en 1966 peu avant la sortie de son album, voici quelques extraits de nos échanges: ---- Moi: "Eh Fred, comment ça va depuis que tu t'es fait larguer? T'es toujours aussi nul?" Fred Neil: "J'essaye de remonter la pente, et de m'améliorer autant que possible jour après jour" --- Moi: "Eh Fred, j'ai vraiment pas apprécié comment tu m'as parlé l'autre jour, viens un peu tâter de ma salade de coup de poings" Fred: "Je suis désolé je n'avais pas pour intention de te vexer, j'accepte ma punition" ---- Moi: "Eh Fred, t'es vraiment qu'un pauvre type, en plus regarde un peu ce bide, t'as avalé un trombone ou quoi?" Fred: "C'est vrai que je me suis un peu laissé aller recemment, il faut que je me me reprenne en main" ---- Vous l'aurez compris, cet album n'avait aucun caractère.
Hmm, like being trapped in a 60s coffeehouse. Groovy man.
Not my thing - overrated album in my view (for what *that's* worth). I often felt like the musicians were playing different songs at the same time. +1 because Fred has a pleasant voice. Oh and Harry Nilson did "Everybody's Talkin'" better.
Love his voice, but it's telling that the best song on here is done so much better by by a cover two years later. Unfortunately I just don't think there's enough here unless you're really into sleepy country-sounding folk.
In a nutshell: moody folky blues. Introspective music is okay, but not this. Many songs could've been cut in half. Lyrically disengaging. Neil sounds like a chronically depressed Donovan. Overall: 1/10
4 but rated a five because of his Jefferson Airplane influence, Ballad of You, Me & Poohneil is an amazing track.
Not something I would have listened to otherwise, but I'm glad I did. The last Raga is simply lovely
Good

This was a surprisingly good listen, his voice range was impressive especially the lower end where he rumbles and resonates. More like country blues than folk, loved it. His earlier blues album is also excellent.
Wow - incredible voice, and did not know he wrote Everybody's Talkin. Chose philantropy over touring. Glad to have found Fred.
10/10 surprisingly avant-garde! I almost wanna call it post-country!
Great
When I lost sleep at 3:30 in the morning, I never imagined that I would discover one of the best albums of this year. This song simply connects with the soul of a tired worker. It makes you want to pick up your old guitar and sing the old blues out of your chest. I've been doing this challenge for 380 consecutive days, and albums like this remind me why I started. 5 stars.
So great. Makes me miss Kris Kristofferson.
Extremely good album and a nice genre change of pace
I came across Fred Neil because of a cover of Dolphins by Billy bragg and never looked back. This album is just pure beauty. His voice is incredible accompanied by a beautiful array of instruments. I do not own a physical copy of this, but this has reminded me that i need to
This is pretty forward-thinking for an album from 66. I love the varied instrumentation, and he has a great voice. The 8 minute raga track at the end really surprised me too.
As it starts off, I think that his voice might have too much of a country twang for me to get into...but then I recognize the song. Or almost recognize the song. I wrack my brain trying to find where I know it from. I check the Wiki page and look for covers. I search in Google to find a hint. Then it hits me and I go off to confirm. BUT THIS HAPPENED FOR ALMOST EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM!! Maybe not whole songs, but there are enough borrows or straight up lifts all throughout things I listen to. And I jumped down a bit of a rabbit hole and found an article titled, "Fred Neil, The Greatest Singer-Songwriter You’ve Probably Never Heard Of". This checks out. Now I know what to listen out for. Now I know this man is quietly in the blueprint and genes of a great deal of music that I enjoy. Damn. The things you find out.
I think this is going to be an artist like Nick Drake that gets better the longer it marinates.
Fred Neil by Fred Neil, what an unexpected delight! The nondescript eponymous title and slightly terrifying album cover would have ensured I kept on flipping if I found this in a record store. How wrong I was to judge Fred by his cover. His gravelly, soulful voice lends itself perfectly to the country-leaning folk instrumentals. The instrumental moments are some of my favourites, especially on the peculiar closer "Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga" and "Faretheewell (Fred's Tune)". An ode to Murphy's Law, "That's The Bag I'm In" is a cynical, yet humorous gem. Some light reading would reveal that this album was re-released 3 years on (1969) with the title "Everybody's Talkin'", a name befitting the hype this album deserved but likely didn't receive. Top 3: 1. That's The Bag I'm In 2. The Dolphins 3. Everybody's Talkin' Bottom 1: Sweet Cocaine Overall Score: 8.9/10 (rounded to five stars as I can't give this 4.5 stars and 4 wouldn't do it justice)
Could've done without the raga at the end - but I feel churlish starting on a negative note, as almost everything else on this collection is sensational. Superb writing chops, judicious instrumentation and one helluva voice (one of the coolest I've heard in a while) elevate this to the top of tree. I like a lot of folk rock from this era - why hadn't I heard of this one before now? I would feel miffed, but that's overriden by the joy of a new discovery, one that really speaks to me.
Fuck Bob Dylan, this is where it's at. 0/5 album cover though
Fantastic…. and a strange link to the man being involved with The Dolphin Project in his later life is a strange link to what my son is interested in…
I had never heard of this guy before but knew a couple of the songs. Wonderful discovery. Thank you!
Solid, quality, true record.
Super atmospheric and vibey. Fred Neil has a fantastic voice. Great folk record
I didn't know what to expect when I saw this cover, but it was NOT this. I can fully understand why the "hippie" artists loved this album. The OG version of "Everybody's Talkin" is far superior to the Nilsson one. If Fred Neil was 10 years younger, had long, flowing locks, and had completely changed the cover art, this album would have made him a huge star.
Oh man, this one hit the spot. I’m a big fan of Bill Callahan and Fred Neil carried that same dry wit delivery that draws me to his music. From the first track, The Dolphins caught my attention immediately, a truly beautiful tune. That’s the Bag I’m In is a top tier blues track, lyrics are just so clever. Excellent rock and twang album here, Neil’s relaxed vocals blend so well well with the skillful harmonica and guitar. This is an exactly the type of album discovery that keeps me excited to carry on with this experiment. 5 stars
What a record! Like Dylan meets Lou Reed but they get a baritone to sing it.
starts off VERY slow and gets better as the album goes on. the last few songs are S tier and the final semi-experimental instrumental track is fantastic. album saved and will be listened to again
Fred Neil performing the soundtrack to inside llewyn davis
I was really enjoying this and then, oh!, there’s the song from Midnight Cowboy and that just made it better. This felt good.
An unsung masterpiece. Got to know Fred Neil through two things: Nilsson's version of "Everybody's Talking" for *Midnight Cowboy*, of course, but also the use of "Dolphins" for a quite memorable scene in the arguably best TV series of all time *The Sopranos*--during which Christopher Moltisanti is high on heroin and tripping in a funfair at night. Those two tracks are the two highlights of the album for sure. But "Badi-Da", " Everything Happens" and "Sweet Cocaine" stellar as well. Such a huge talent, and such a perfect crooning voice. 5/5. Number of albums left to review: 470 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 252 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 120 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 156
This is one of those times that following this list pays off. I had no idea who Fred Neil was before, having always thought Harry Nielson wrote Everybody's Talkin' I spent the day listening to a few of his other albums and this on repeat
So good
this is the bag i'm in. best album i've never heard of that's come up on this list. Anton newcombe has listened to this album a lot of times.
Excellent - Fred Neil's voice in combination with his fine guitar is mesmerising at times and always deeply soulful.
Suena a ponerle CBD al primer café de la mañana. 13 estrellas pachecas.
I LOVE THIS!
Quite liked this, though only one track ended up going to my liked.
Off the bat, I took the advice of a fellow group mate and didn't consider this as a folk album. I mean, the labels: folk and singer-songwriter... You read these and you're probably tempted to consider this album in the same way you would Leonard Cohen or Joan Baez or Bob Dylan — especially Dylan. Certainly I'd've done that just looking at the **VERY SERIOUS** monochrome cover. But if you look at this album like that, you're kind of doing it wrong. 'Coz this ain't just folk music: it's folk **rock**. And very bluesy folk rock at that. Really, it's more folksy blues rock. Like, just taking this thing as a vibe like I did... It's good. It's perfectly fine. I really don't have many thoughts about this album as a whole. It's just some good, folksy blues rock. Fred Neil has a nice, deep-ish voice; everything is played perfectly well; it's not particularly lyrical, but the ones that aren't here aren't bad... It's good stuff. And frankly, that might be the album's biggest sin. It's good, but there's nothing particularly daring about it. I mean, OK, yeah, the closer is a seven minute experiment in trying to create a "sitar-like" sound, but other than that, it's pretty safe. And that's not always a bad thing, really. Sometimes you just want an album that just does what it does and does it well and never really aims to swing for the fences. There's a place in this world for base-level fine. It's just that if you wanna try and argue that this is an essential album that you **need** to hear before you do... Unless you're talkin' to someone who's a big fan of 'Midnight Cowboy,' you're probably in for a difficult time. I'unno. It's just not a very easy album to have strong feelings about, one way or the other. If you listen to it I'm sure you might like it... Or not. But if I can guarantee anything, it's not that I'm sure it does have everybody talkin'. And with that song title shoed-in as the conclusion, I bow out.

Nice and catchy stuff on this one. 4.5 bumped down to 4.
I’m at a 4. I wouldn’t necessarily call this “folk rock” – I think it puts the album into a Dylan-y box that’s hard to shake the perception of, given that the first track has some of the most unconnected lyrics I can remember in a bit, and overall, the lyricism doesn’t strike a “folk” tone at all. This is easier to classify as a blues rock album with folksy elements, leaning towards an instrumental minimalism more adjacent to folk rock, but not exactly a vocal one. With that framing in mind, I think this is a strong blues rock album. I do think “The Dolphins” suffers from the chorus being shoehorned in, but after that, this album finds a really nice rhythm. It’s rather easy to be serenaded in by his sadness & his joy, and the way the instrumentation is recorded gives the whole thing a very minor wall of sound effect that adds depth to the deeper tone, but not to the higher ones. Part of the higher tones of this album include the harmonica, which I’m just a complete sucker for, as well as the guitars, which tend to find really nice melodies and just settle there, in a way that’s certainly repetitive, but not obnoxious, so it works just fine. It’s a weirdly hypnotizing album in that way. Since his vocals are in that deeper range, and oddly reminiscent of Randy Travis (a guilty pleasure ‘80s country singer I like), they pop out in a way that glides on the instrumentation, even if he strays off the percussion for a solid chunk of the album. So, why a 4? Few tracks just didn’t click, simple as that. “The Dolphins” feels a bit flat as an opener, and a weird tonesetter for my ears. “Ba-Di-Da” feels like the vocals don’t match the woeful urban city life the track should be going for & it just doesn’t meet the potential it could have. “Green Rocky Road” has a great instrumental rhythm, and his vocals glide, but I’m just stuck on the lyricism feeling totally incohesive. I’d be remiss to not talk about the 8 minute closer that is “Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga”, which is a solid experimental instrumental, but it just doesn’t feel as… clean as it could be. It’s a raw track, & it feels a little unrehearsed, but I admire the swing of trying to make a sort of sitar-y / Indian-inspired song using more of a bluegrass base for the instruments. When it’s all in rhythm together, the track works really well, but I’d say it only has a cohesive rhythm for sections of the track. That inconsistency feels a little frustrating as a straight 8 minutes; it feels like listening to a track where the volume fluctuates against your will & you constantly have to adjust. I do wonder if the track would be better if it was trimmed to a more concise 4 minutes. Overall though, when this album is rolling, it’s a damn fun listen, at least to my ears. I didn’t find myself ever hating it, and in all, it’s just a strong 38 minutes. I don’t know if I can ever see myself going up to a 5, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone else gets there. If the minimalism & his vocals just bounce off, this could easily be a 3 or even a 2. I’m fine with a 4 here; it’s a totally inoffensive, play-it-safe album that never hits a low point & takes one big swing where mileage may vary. I liked it.
This is one of those albums that is probably more fun to learn about than it is to sit down to listen to. I had never heard of Fred Neil nor his royalty amongst the Greenwich Village beat crowd. His voice is deep and rich and powerful, I could imagine it being a show-stopper in those NY bars. The songs are all well-written, not really a weak one here. "Everybody's Talkin'" is clearly the most recognizable due to Harry Nilsson's cover, which is superior to the original. The song that stuck with me most was "That's the Bag I'm In", and "Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga" was an extremely interesting ending track considering this predates the Summer of Love and Beatles psychedelia, etc. This sits around a 3.5 for me, but I'm rounding up to 4 due to Neil's impact and influence.
i've always wanted to listen to this album ever since i fell in love with 'everybody's talkin' as performed by harry nilsson, but never got around to it until now. it's a nice folky album. fred neil's voice is very unique in the space, it's quite low but kind of beautiful, in a way. not all the songs here are my favorite, but it's still a pretty solid album.
Very good
Really liked “The Dolphins”
Yeah this was cool. Overlooked by time I guess. And extra points for being from Cleveland! Still prefer Nilsson’s version of Everybody’s Talkin’, but I liked listening to this quite a bit.
Pretty good road trip music. Some classics.
Quite something
Nice album! Had this album on in the morning, and it instantly made the day better. I get a similar feeling listening to this as I get when listening to Nick Drake, quite cozy. His voice reminded me a bit of Elvis Presley as well (of which I wonder when we'll see on this list!?). Overall a nice ride. 'Everybody's Talkin' is instantly recognizable, though perhaps Harry Nilsson's version is the more famous one. Perhaps no single song that really grabbed me, but I much prefer the whole album being enjoyable then one track being stellar and the rest garbage. Weak 4.
Beautiful
The last song makes the whole album.
It sucks when the wiki doesn't have critical reception or any historical relevance. Asked my friendly neighbourhood bot instead and it told me what I need to know in terms of the music shift at the time and the artists he influenced. Great example of an album that would never have crossed my path and deserves to be on the list. It's nice. Moody, laid back and stripped down. The album grew on me. That 8 min track at the end came outta nowhere. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.
Awesome bass-baritone voice. Maybe not an album that has aged particularly well in some aspects, but enjoyable enough overall.
Fred Neil walked so Llewyn Davis could run.
I liked this quite a bit. I'm generally a fan of real country. Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, that sort of thing. This felt very reminiscent of that sort of thing, essentially roots music for American white people.
Really enjoyable album would listen again. Ace harmonica on it.
Dig the country/folk sounds. The last song was surprising, but a cool jam. I wonder if Orville Peck was inspired by this guy. Similar vibes.
Better than Coldplay
Trend setting folk album played electric. A real time capsule and great songwriting. 4/5
Some pretty cool vibes with this one. I really dug That's The Bag I'm In and Everybody's Talkin. Not the most memorable otherwise, but I enjoyed my time more than a 3 out of 5.
There are a couple weaker tracks, but I loved the album: easy, soulful folk with a country inflection.
3/4 idk
Por qué no lo había escuchado antes? Es como si Johnny Cash y Lou Reed fueran uno solo. La primera mitad de disco es increíble. ADEMÁS HAY ARMÓNICA. Cositas muy Robinson/Mississippi, me gusta. El último tema es falopita total. Compré a la mitad
Never heard of Fred Neil, though obviously very familiar with "Everybody's Talkin'." This album was excellent and I really enjoyed it.
Surprised by this. I really, really enjoyed this.
Surprisingly good
Listens: 3 Standout tracks: Everybody's Talkin', Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga I have heard "Everyone's Talking" before, specifically during the Episode of Futurama in which Zapp Brannigan and Kif Kroker are out of pocket, having been dismissed from the DOOP for... blowing it up! But! It's actually the Harry Nilsson version, which is decidedly more popular (41 million plays vs 713k plays in YTM). That's got to suck a lot, for someone to take your song and play it (subjectively) better than you. It's a great song, both versions of it. Anyways, I just got off of listening to Elvis's 'From Elvis in Memphis', and had rated that a 4. I listen to this and like... why would I give Elvis a 4 when I want to give this an actual 4 because I like this so much more! Its not exactly apples to apples, but this is actually something I want to listen to more than a few times. Elvis was riding high off being the King of rock and roll in my mind. As far as actual other tracks go, hands down Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga is the best track on the album. Very psychedelic. Very 60s. A fusion of folk and psych rock with a mix of middle-eastern/Indian influence in the form of what could be a sitar. Excellent track.
