Richie Havens' album Mixed Bag II, originally released in 1974, is now available on CD for the first time on the Stormy Forest website, http://www.stormyforest.com. It's been somewhat overlooked and is actually one of his better albums, in my opinion. The liner notes tell the story of how the original master tapes were lost for many years, mostly due to record company buy-outs and such. The highlight of the album for me is Wandering Angus, an old folk song covered by many others -- this is my favorite version. This version of the song was the basis of a wonderful animated short film that can be seen here:
