Album Notes & Community Reviews

Richie Havens's 'Something Else Again' broke into the Billboard charts by melding Greenwich Village folk traditions with deeply impassioned, soulful vocal delivery. Utilizing his unorthodox open-tuning guitar style, Havens incorporated Eastern instrumentation and spiritual introspection into his original songwriting. The album significantly raised his profile, paving the way for his iconic opening performance at Woodstock two years later.
