- One of the Greatest Folk Artists Ever
my favorite cover artist ever...
Saw him back in the mid '60s at the Cafe Wha in Greenwhich Village...
to quote Paul Simon....he always "blew the room away."
First folk artist I ever saw who had absolute mastery over a twelve string guitar...
This CD is part of a magnificent legacy....
Richie Havens is a national treasure in its purest sense...

But when was the last time any of the aforementioned delivered a solid work that put them back on ... Read More
Rating: - Good, but a little disappointing
Definitely good to hear some new music from Richie Havens. I've been a fan for many year & have seen him in concert a couple of times. This is not a bad CD, just a little bit slow-paced. Would've been good to hear some uptempo, more rythmic songs.

With the covering of the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" you get the best of a classic song with a completly ... Read More
