About The Record:

Dion, by Dion, contains such hits as Abraham, Martin and John, Purple Haze and He Looks a Lot Like Me. A Review by Richie Unterberger in Allmusic: "Featuring his Top Five comeback single Abraham, Martin and John, this folk-rock and blues-flavored effort remains Dion's most fully realized album. In addition to the impressive anti-war original He Looks a Lot Like Me, it contains mature interpretations, arranged both acoustically and with strings, of songs by Fred Neil, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Lightnin' Hopkins.
