REVIEW
by Bruce Eder
Richie Havens is probably the only '60s icon who could get away with an
album like this without apology. But for the presence of the electric
keyboards, synth bass, and '80s-style drums, these performances by Havens
could easily have appeared 18 years earlier. His performances of "Here
Comes the Sun," "If Not for You," "Strawberry Fields Forever," and "Lay
Lady Lay" all display a satisfying intimacy, and "Rocky Raccoon" is just
plain fun, but his cover of "The Long and Winding Road" is probably the
best version of this song ever done, with "Let It Be" not far behind.
Overall, they're more sophisticated than some of Havens' earlier work, a
mix of soul and folk traditions with an overlay of rock, that any longtimewill appreciate.

Thanks for posting this - didn't realise that the tracks on here were all new recordings - interesting to compare these with those that he has recorded before.
Keep up the great work
I tried all the d/l hosts and none of them work. Could you please re-up? Thanks for everything.
Actually it was 4702 - RICHIE HAVENS - High Flyin' Bird: The Verve Forecast Years, Disc One (2004) I was trying to d/l. Both volumes. Thanks again for all the work you put in to this site.
Hello davef, some will be posted again. Stay tuned.
