Choice selections from Havens' first three albums (1966-68) display his development from a Greenwich Village folkie specializing in anti-war anthems like "Handsome Johnny" to a folk-rocking prophet with a Beatles fixation. Havens' idiosyncratically propulsive guitar style drives the brutal reckoning of “The Klan”; he slings a mean sitar in driving trance-rocker "Run, Shaker Life"; and he puts his own spin on "Lady Madonna" and "Strawberry Fields Forever".
