Fred Neil / Vince Martin - Tear Down The Walls & Bleecker & Macdougal

'Tear Down The Walls' (1964) mixes some (now) folk standards such as Bonnie Dobson's Morning Dew and traditional songs like Lonesome Valley and I Know You Rider. The most of the songs belong to Fred Neil while Vince Martin brought a great deal of talent and fresh ideas to the collaboration, not to mention his association with John Sebastian [The Lovin' Spoonful] and Felix Pappalardi [The Young Rascals and later Mountain]. The 'Bleecker & MacDougal (1965) songs where much covered in the sixties like; Blues on the Ceiling, (The Bintangs), The Other Side To This Life, (Jefferson Airplane) and Candy Man (Roy Orbison). Vince Neil was one-of-a-kind singer, with a soul-searing, gravelly voice and fingers that picked one of the meanest blues guitars in folk.
