Tear Down The Walls by Vince Martin And Fred Neil, released on Elektra in 1964. Tear Down the Walls Review by William Ruhlmann ...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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUOwVmf65o8&list=OLAK5uy_mk33LAqHt8OQ-CUp6RIKdZZ7KjsGJuSDE #FredNeil #VinceMartin #Folk #12stringguitar #Elektra #Music

He did stand out from much of the competition (certainly in Britain, where the American singer was based by the time of this mid-'60s release) by virtue of his eclectic repertoire, impassioned delivery, and imaginative arrangements. He wasn't as much of an innovator as peers such as Dino Valenti and Fred Neil were in this respect, but like them he was breaking away to some degree from hidebound, stiff folk deliveries. He wasn't recording much original material, though, and this set is largely devoted to covers of songs by the likes of Phil Ochs (including the obscure "I'm Tired";.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRy5oG30V_Q #ShawnPhillips #Folk #PhilOchs #Music #12stringguitar
