When he changed musical direction around '68-'69, Bobby was ragged on by some as a rock 'n' roll sellout to Vegas and Hollywood trying to gain credibility by pretending to be a hipster to impress the "be-in" crowd. Nothing could be farther from the truth. At that time that was who he really was. The deaths of Robert Kennedy and Dr. King affected him deeply. He took a huge risk by starting his own label and recording songs reflecting society in that era. And they were damn good songs,good as any.

Is that Taj Mahal in the pic? I agree with CinemaCinder. Darin was never a sell out or a wannabe. Everything he produced, sang & recorded was done with passion & intelligence. Folkies think he was "trying" to re-connect as a hipster with the Tim Hardin folk songs? They forget Darin recorded tracks like "Things," & "Jailer Bring Me Water," years before he recorded Hardin. Darin was already very familiar with folk-rock. Hardin songs were some of Darin's best. Risk? Damn sure it was.

That's right. In fact, "Folk-rock" was not new to him at all. Roger McGuinn of the Byrds actually got his start in his backup band in the early 60's...
