Bleeker & McDougal, 1965
Written by Fred Neil
Neil is best known as the writer of "Everybody's Talkin," made famous by Harry Nilsson, but he has some serious folk-blues chops. This song starts with a Beatles-like harmonica into (by John Sebastian!), then moves into a shuffling blues with electric guitar. Neil's low register makes the song seem straight out of the Delta swamp (deliberately: "She's going to the bayou / The bayou where the river flows"), when really he was a talented white guy from Cleveland.
