180-gram vinyl mono edition!
This 1967 masterpiece debut mixes folk with elements of rock, jazz and blues — served up with masterful covers and topical lyrics such as the war protest song "Handsome Johnny," a tune that put Richie Havens on the map when it was featured in the Woodstock film. Glorious 180-gram vinyl, cut from the original mono masters!
An intensely engaging performer, Richie Havens honed his craft in the clubs and cafes of Greenwich Village, just over the bridge from his native Brooklyn. Painter, poet and multi-instrumentalist, Havens immersed himself in the Village's beatnik culture just as the nascent folk scene began to develop. Connecting with uber-manager Albert Grossman, then guiding the careers of Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul and Mary, Havens rose to the top tier of the international folk movement.
