MARTIN & NEIL

VINCE MARTIN and FRED NEIL with FELIX PAPPALARDI giutarron, and JOHN SEBASTIAN mouth harp

Vince Martin's primary claim to fame is that he was briefly in a duo with the far more famous (and talented) 

singer/songwriter Fred Neil, recording one rare LP with him, Tear Down the Walls, just before Neil went solo.

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.

Martin & Neil came along at a time when commercial folk was showing a distinct social consciousness, 

and their style drew heavily on that of the massively popular Peter, Paul & Mary. 

Accompanied by Felix Pappalardi on the bass-like guitarron and John Sebastian on harmonica, 

the duo strummed 12-string acoustic guitars and used their strikingly different voices 

to reinvent traditional songs like "I Know You Rider" and "Lonesome Valley," popular covers 

like Bonnie Dobson's "Morning Dew," and some originals. Neil's "Wild Child in a World of Trouble," 

which he sang alone, looked forward to his career as a solo singer/songwriter, 

which commenced not long after this album was released ...(AllMusic)
