Fun, fun, fun!
Paul McCartney's "Every Night", Sam Cooke's "You Send Me", Bob Seger's "We've Got Tonight" and "Fire Down Below", Tom Waits' "Ol' 55", and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" interpreted in a manner that only Richie Havens could envision! Pretty cool!. This CD is lots of fun.


FINALLY!
The classic track " Going Back To My Roots" has been a club hit in Europe since it came out, and almost impossible to find in print. So glad someone has finally seen fit to get this album out on cd. The cover art (Richie Havens gazing at a blurry World Trade Center) is truly surreal. More re-releases from this great artist please!.


For true fans only
It represents the beginning of Richie's foray into the pop arena. This is a reissue of Richie's 1981 release, originally on the Elektra label. Although I am a big Richie Havens fan, I've got to say that this album doesn't suit him at all. There are a couple of gems, however. "Going Back To My Roots" is a real toe-tapper, while "She Touched My Heart" and "Here's A Song" are nice ballads. On the whole, this record is largely forgettable and really only for the completist that has to have everything Richie has done.
