Gone Again EAN: Album Notes Digitally remastered edtion of 2 original albums assembled on a single CD from one of the most conscientious songwriters of the folk movement. It was interpretations by Harry Nilsson that would bring him the greatest attention outside folkie circles. TEAR DOWN THE WALLS/BLEECKER & MACDOUGAL brings together two albums from famed folk musician Fred Neil.Fred Neil's two classic Elektra records albums assembled together on one CD, with new biographical notes supported by lots of photos, too. The CD is slightly uneven as a listening experience, mostly by virtue of the songs off of Tear Down the Walls, a hybrid work that has moments of inspired, heavyweight brilliance from Neil, compromised by the lighter-textured voice of Vince Martin, who almost always seems like he's trying hard to keep up with Neil and measure up to what his partner is doing. There are some brilliant songs, as the two slip into a serious blues groove on "Weary Blues"; soar together on the exultant, extended duet of "Baby" (which plays like an Indian raga with vocals); the darker-toned "Morning Dew"; and the driving, crunchy "Linin' Track," which leads into "Wild Child in a World of Trouble." Interspersed among those splendors, however, are some more retro (even for ) and forced commercial efforts, including the title tune, the kind of optimistic early-'60s folk number that might've found its way into the repertory of the New Christy Minstrels or the Serendipity Singers, and Vince Martin's "Toy Balloon," a song aimed at the subsidiary folk market for children's songs (and which might've worked very nicely in the hands of Peter, Paul & Mary). The 13 tracks off of Bleecker & MacDougal that follow are brilliant through and through, dark, serious, mostly blues-influenced originals that hold up infinitely better four decades later than anyone had a right to expect -- Bleecker & MacDougal is easily among the best records EVER issued by Elektra, and perhaps the best folk record ever put out by the label. It's all essential listening, and by themselves easily justify the $20 price of this European import -- the digital remastering is spot-on perfect, and the packaging and annotation give these two albums the treatment they've always deserved.
