{"product_id":"mixed-bag-iauroh","title":"Mixed Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1966 on Verve Folkways (a partnership between Verve Records and Moses Asch's Folkways Records), \u003ci\u003eMixed Bag\u003c\/i\u003e was Richie Havens' official debut album and tackles a variety of song styles, hence its title. Among its highlights are Havens' readings of Bob Dylan's \"Just Like a Woman\" and The Beatles' \"Eleanor Rigby.\" The album received a ****½ AllMusic rating, with reviewer Jim Newsom stating that, \"Richie Havens' finest recording, \u003ci\u003eMixed Bag\u003c\/i\u003e captures the essence of his music and presents it in an attractive package that has held up well. It's the sound of Havens' distinctive voice coupled with his unusual open-E guitar tuning, rather than the specific lyrical content of the songs, that pulls the listener in. 'Handsome Johnny,' one of Havens' best known songs as a result of the Woodstock film, is a classic anti-war ballad, stoked by the singer's unmistakable thumb-chorded strumming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elemental","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":51114604593483,"sku":"2239943","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/product_id._c6a464b4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1737111231","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/mixed-bag-iauroh","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
