Mixed Bag marks the groundbreaking debut of Richie Havens, introducing listeners to his soulful baritone vocals and uniquely percussive, thumb-chorded guitar style. Originally released in 1967, the album captivated both pop and jazz audiences, earning a place on Billboard's charts and featuring standout songs like the anti-war classic "Handsome Johnny."
This release showcases Havens’s dynamic interpretations and heartfelt lyricism, with tracks like “Sandy” and “San Francisco Bay Blues” infusing a jazzy feel into the album’s folk-rock foundation. Praised for its upfront sound and moving back cover poem, Mixed Bag remains a stunning and essential listen for fans of innovative 60s singer-songwriters.
