Fred Neil (album)

Fred Neil is the second album from Fred Neil, a pioneer folk rock musician. The album has a more laid-back sound than his debut, and contains his best-known songs; "Everybody's Talkin' " and "The Dolphins". It was re-released in 1969 under the title Everybody's Talkin' in response to the international success of the soundtrack of the movie Midnight Cowboy, which made a hit of the new title track for Harry Nilsson.[2] Music journalist Richie Unterberger characterizes the album as Neil's "best",[3] and it was listed in the first (2005) edition of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, edited by Robert Dimery.

gollark: Or explode.
gollark: There was already a qntm story on infinite computing, but not sinthorionized infinite processing finite memory computing.
gollark: Probably ways to use memory very efficiently, and tricks to stick as much as possible into read-only program memory?
gollark: Well, you can't emulate it very usefully since modern computers run finitely fast still. And I don't know what sort of features you'd need instead of just a generic normal instruction set.
gollark: It's a shame making an emulator is impractical.
