concept album-cum-community theatre piece that mixes his cosy view of small-town America--insular, sentimental, occasionally xenophobic--with well-meaning if woolly anti-corporate, pro-environment sloganeering. Such clarity of purpose rarely suits Young. Indeed, the eco-hymn "Be the Rain" makes After the Goldrushsound more gnomic than ever. But what Greendalelacks in mystique, it makes up for with love and eccentricity. Though his voice is thinner than ever, Young sounds more engaged than he has in years--certainly more so than on the sleepwalking slush of 2001's Are You Passionate--and the obvious pleasure he takes from his grand idea here is enough to carry you through the album's ropier passages. Young's peculiar blend of control-freakery and sloppiness ensure Greendale is raw where concept albums are usually over-polished. Crazy Horse play with that bewildering naivety so typical of them, and the wrinkled spirit that they and Young bring to "Devil's Sidewalk" and the beautifully aimless "Carmichael" makes you forgive most of their self-indulgences. Even the spellbindingly crass "Be the Rain" is redeemed by Young interrupting the platitudes sung by his wife, as he bawls semi-coherently through a megaphone. There are signs, too--especially in the thoughtful "Bandit"--that he's smuggling very personal reflections on age into what initially appears to be a detached drama (much as Lou Reed, an unlikely fellow traveller, did on his underrated The Raven). Try and circumnavigate the schtick: this is the most endearing Neil Young album for some time. --John Mulvey

Advantages: The best album from his most successful decade Disadvantages: Everything else stops when this album goes on
!) – think of a band, somewhere, you can guarantee, they’ve name-checked him. He is as famous for stripped-down acoustic strumming techniques as his wild and excessive rockier outings (four solos to a song, anyone?). Both sides of Young are often captured within a single album; beautiful and theatrical acoustics sit (somehow comfortably) between ear-shattering scrapes with grunge, or even punk. However, I feel his complete repertoire has rarely been so successfully captured in one recording as on this album.
Released in the summer of 1979, “RustNeverSleeps” is a live recording that has had its audience track removed, providing a scintillating and musically courageous exposure of NeilYoung at his best (ie. live), while retaining the technical manifesto of a studio-smoothed recording. Several of these tracks had been ...
Advantages: Cohesive, varied and heartfelt Disadvantages: The longest track is the one you might not like
I own a dozen NeilYoung albums and I have to say the only one I play regularly is this one. I can only deal with so much introspection and whineyness with his more acoustic albums and I am afraid that on a lot of the CrazyHorse stuff when they try to rock out and cut loose they just do not have strong enough riffs or the musical ability to do it with.
So if you are looking for a NeilYoung album to get the best of both worlds you could do far worse than try this one. Not only is it better produced than many but his voice is not as fragile as it can be. Every song is worth its place even the trivial and humourous penutimate track does not outstay its presence ( it contains the classic line about buying a plastic bag to save a tree Ha Ha).
So not only do we have the more melodic and homespun acousticy numbers but also a blues ...
Advantages: Alternative country/rock classic Disadvantages: none
on at the time of recording. The heavy sense of loss and longing also hangs over this record like a calming breeze, particularly in the Needle and the Damage done, a heart-felt song written about Danny Whitten - guitar player in Neil's part time backing band "CrazyHorse".The line "every junkie's like a setting sun" always stands out in a way that is both timeless, evocative and beautiful.
The other stand out song for me, is Old Man - a yearning and poetic song about an old caretaker who lived in Neil's Broken Arrow farm in California. The words strike a chord with me, particularly how the already wealthy 24 year old NeilYoung refuses to be constrained by the trappings of fame and how the dignity of the old man in the song is something which Neil's sees in himself, or what he wants to see in himself. Neil to this today remains an unbowed man who ...
