| Young, Neil- After the Gold Rush **** out of ***** possible This is Neil Young at the height of his career, this is the acoustic Neil Young and his early ventures with Crazy Horse. Youngs voice and melodic sense lead to a very listenable album, however one must be prepared for the country influence in this record. Some of Young's greatest performances appear on this record, two of my personal faves being the title track and "Don't Let It Bring You Down." Young, always the visual artist, paints some amazing pictures in the latter, such as the lines "red lights flashin thru the window in the rain can you hear the sirens moan white cane lyin in the gutter in the lane if you're walkin home alone." I would recommend this album to anyone, although i don't know how it would do with today's rock-loving audience. Young, Neil- Live Rust ***** out of ***** possible This album captures, perfectly, the power and beauty that is a Neil Young concert. I recently attended a show on Neil's "Music in Head" tour, and so I can honestly say that this album has a very realistic feel to it. This particular release is from the end of the Crazy Horse era of Neil Young (the album was originally released in 1978), and it contains many classic Young tracks, including: "After the Gold Rush," "The Loner," "The Needle and the Damage Done," "Cinnamon Girl," and "Like a Hurricane"; as well as the Buffalo Springfield tune "I am a Child" and the twin odes to Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten, "My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)." It has both sides of the Neil Young coin: the quiet acoustic side and the powerful rock side. There are the powerful jams ("Hurricane"), the quiet ballads ("Goldrush"), as well as the slow, yet heavy tracks ("Cortez the Killer"). If you are at all interested in Neil Young, this album is as good a buy as any. Young, Neil- Silver and Gold **** out of ***** possible In this album, Young reverts back, stylistically at least, to the days of After the Gold Rush and the like. Musically, Young still "has it," with such masterful ballads as "Razor Love" and "Silver and Gold," the latter of which seems almost like a follow-up to "Heart of Gold" from the album Harvest. Another couple of interesting tracks are "Red Sun," which has a very folklike feel to it, and "Distant Camera," Young's only real attempt at using the imagery for which he was once renowned. In fact, this is my only complaint with the album. I believe that Neil Young was in the height of his lyrical writing when his songs were complex and yet beautiful, filled with imagery. This album, however, despite this minor flaw, is still his best in years. It's good! |
