Horse

Amazon.com
After three solo albums exploring the darker side of downbeat, producer Howie B paired up with Naked Funk's Jeremy Shaw for another themed excursion. Horse marks a fuller sound than Bernstein's previous releases: crisp bouncing breaks crosshatch within a framework of 303 tweaks, strings, swells, and atmospherics, at points leaning into the bounds of electronica while concurrently adding a sauntering blues twist. "They Shag Horses Don't They" takes this theme directly, borrowing from John Martyn's Solid Air and smattering it with analog to cause modal distress at 60 bpms. The same effect is achieved with "The Cobbler," a tune that builds and changes like a Fila Brazillia track before whisking you off your feet for the last dance. Horse is less bleary-eyed than previous Howie B albums--and all the better for it. --Amazon.co.uk

For years, fans of Neil Young and Crazy Horse have been waiting for an official chance to hear Crazy Horse live with original leader Danny Whitten, the insanely talented guitarist who died of a heroin overdose in late 1972, inspiring Tonight's the Night. Tuned-in fans have been awaiting this very set for at least a dozen years, as it was originally to be tacked onto the end of a Decade-style triple CD of outtakes. Thankfully, this well-recorded live set from the infamous Fillmore East was well worth the wait. Here are scorching, extended takes of "Down by the River," "Winterlong," and "Cowgirl in the Sand," each propelled by guitar interplay so delightful you have to keep rewinding to hear it again. In fact, bits of it seem to prefigure the ways that Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine would feed off each other in the band Television, only with less of a sweet edge. But the world doesn't need any more arguments that Young was a proto-punk; what the world does need is at least a dozen more releases from Neil's archives! And hopefully, with this awesome live album, the floodgates have truly been opened and there are many more to come, in the vein of Dylan's Bootleg series. This disc is worth it alone for the version of "Wondering," a tune not officially recorded until many years later in Neil's weird '80s rockabilly phase. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

The first release of Neil Young's archive performance series.

Lower the price or finish the show!.......2007-06-09

I don't care how many times I've blasted "Everyone Knows This is Nowhere" and "Down By The River" from this CD and thoroughly enjoyed them or how it's such a great look into a critical period of so many critical periods of such an amazing aritist...it's either over priced or more profoundly too lacking in sheer length. As a Neil fan I had to get it but it's hard not to feel slightly ripped off. Makes me skeptical about buying further such releases.

Don't question the Master and buy it!.......2007-05-30

I also have the 2-10-70 bootleg and feel that a comparison is in order to appreciate this Fillmore show. Neil's very intimate with the crowd at the Cincinatti show, but frustrated at times, even asking two people to be quiet so he can "get into it" for the rest of the audience. Then, at the beginning of the electric set Neil complains about a shock that he's getting from the equipment, and in the middle of "Down by the River" (18 minutes long!) he clearly says "I quit" during the chorus. So, that show is not going to be one of his favorites even if the music is amazing. It is a shame that this Fillmore release is missing the acoustic set and the ubiquitous "Cinnamon Girl" closer, which I heard was not as well preserved. However, what is here is the best sounding live Neil you have ever heard! It's not just the quality of the recording, either, which is rich, but the band itself. Let's take the "River" as our vehicle of comparison. Neil's voice has more inflection, his solos are more varied and aggressive, and despite being 12 minutes long it is a superior version. Also, instead of "It Might Have Been" from Cincinatti we get "Cowgirl" which blows the studio version away. Obviously, Neil felt better at the Fillmore show, so don't question the Master and treat yourself.

Live at the Fillmore East - Classic Crazy Horse.......2007-05-13

If you want a piece of Neil Young and Crazy Horse History, this is the ticket. Sure it might not be the whole concert and it is short compared to most CDs today, but I'll take quality over quanity anyday! The sound quality is fantastic!

Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live at Fillmore East .......2007-05-06

Neil Young and Crazy Horse are brilliant. It is a live version of " Everybody Knows this is Knowhere" The version of "Winterlong" is superb" There is little crowd noise. I would have enjoyed more tracks on the CD. All in all well worth the purchase price

Long Lost Neil Young Live Returns and SHINES!.......2007-04-12

Amzing this collection is. A must have along with Live at Massey Hall. Neil sounds like you remember especially if you saw him with Crazy Horse at the late Bill Graham's Fillmore East a favorite with the hippies in New Yorks Greenwich Village in the late sixties time of flower and beads! . A young Neil Young voice, rather than the mature version that comes with age and mileage. An incredible collection of well produced and well performed live tracks that can only bring you back to thw Woodstock era. Well worth the listen!

Country music had no bigger story in 2004 than the rise of the Muzik Mafia, a renegade group of Music City misfits led by Big & Rich (Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich, the latter formerly of Lonestar) and Gretchen Wilson. Both acts shook up Nashville's lethargic, formulaic format--Wilson with her take-no-bull brand of redneck chic, and Big & Rich with their eclectic, wild-haired blend of honky-tonk, rock, rap, ballad, and western, the shoot-'em-up motif for their traveling circus, i.e., Wild West show. Their debut, Horse of a Different Color, which showcases the pair's unusual high-low vocal harmony, is both funny and irreverent ("Kick My Ass"), not to mention clever. (They sing "bad word" in place of a rhyming epithet.) Boasting "music without prejudice" in their self-mythologizing "Rollin' (The Ballad of Big & Rich)," they reference Charley Pride as "the man in black," and trot out country music's first African American rapper, Cowboy Troy. Yet race turns to "racy" in the duo's hit single "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)," the disc's least interesting cut. The easy laugh and rapped stanzas overshadow the smarter lyrics on the rest of the record, which concerns itself not only with frontier justice, but, surprisingly, with old-time religion (Jesus, tolerance, and in a song about sexual abuse, "Holy Water"). Like many professional funny men, Big & Rich--accomplished songwriters and (now) producers--are dead serious beneath it all. Even if this horse opera of a novelty act doesn't last, look for them to shape much of what gallops out of Nashville for a good, long run. --Alanna Nash

Novelty Not country.......2007-07-05

People hype this band saying how great they are "oh they are outlaws" nothing outlaw about them period. this is not what country music needs and whom ever decided to give these guys a contract should be fired. Now Both of them outside of this concoction they put together are talented songwriters John Rich formally of Lonestar writes for Gretchen Wilson and others. Don't know too much about Kenny. Now, if this is what YOU LIKE then Buy it !!! 1 star is too much

YeeHaw!.......2007-06-06

Big and Rich bring their premiere album to the world, and they bring it with gusto. It has been years since the world of country music has been rocked by anyone this good and willing to break the boundaries of the standards of country music.

From the opening lines of bringing you Country Music Without Prejudice until the final notes waft away, you will be enthralled with this album. This is one of the best albums in my music collection.

It's a really fun cd to listen to...you can tell they had a lot of fun making it, and it's a nice mix between country and rock...

Opening with the methodical, hard-rocking "Cinnamon Girl"--still one of the singer-songwriter's most-hollered requests in concert--Young's second solo album introduces the cockeyed harmonies and sloppy, chiming guitars of Crazy Horse. His wide swings from soft-spoken country-folk ("Round & Round [It Won't Be Long]") to menacing metal (the punch line to "Down by the River" is "I shot my baby") indicate the multiple personalities in Young's future. His second album of 1969 broadcasts a sincere passion for the peace-and-love '60s (dig the long guitar solos) but also predicts the dark introspection of "Tonight's the Night." --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

Old enough to change your name.......2007-07-19

From the opening seconds of "Cinnamon Girl," it is quite apparent this is not the same young man who offered the searching, uncertain "Neil Young" only months prior. This, the second album from former Buffalo Springfield songwriter, is a dark masterpiece full of beautiful imagery, and lush guitar solos that are dripping with sheer emotion. The production quality is distinctly more loose on this album, allowing the interplay of Young and the newly-named Crazy Horse to shine through in a way that still sounds revolutionary today.

The fact that songs like "Round and Round" are present on this album serve as a bit of a legend for the rest of Young's career. On one hand, you have the dark, hard-rocking band frontman, and on the other you have a sensitive song-craftsmen who molds melodies the way a skilled carpenter does cabinets. This dichotomy will become more and more apparent (and more polarizing) on subsequent Young releases, but here, it simply shows two sides to one of the most deservingly celebrated artists in rock history.

sound quality not good.......2007-06-12

The sound quality did not sound as good as my old album.

a suggestion.......2007-05-30

You know what i think would be great?
If they gave this album one of those "Deluxe Edition" jobs like they've
done with so many others such as the first Weezer album and Blind Faith and on and on. Out-takes,demo's,alternate takes/mix's....it would all be catnip to the millions who love this album.
Actually, now that i think of it....if a "Deluxe Edition" job isn't possible, they could make a nice pairing of this along with the Neil and Crazy Horse at The Fillmore 1970 CD. That would be pretty deluxe!

A Classic----Everybody Knows.......2007-05-14

While sniffing around in the wine cellar, I looked into my considerable archive of music and this one, inexplicably, shuffled it's way off the shelf into my bony hands. Some people say that it's Universal Force and Enlightenment that did it. I suspect Guido from the empty bottles. In any event- it is an excellent choice.
What can one say about this album? Neil Young expanded beyond Buffalo Springfield with this one and, I think, came into his own as a considerable artist in his own right. With Crazy Horse, he examined and extended his creativity with pastoral landscapes, jagged-edged cliffs, outerworldly musings, and just plain country meets city sensibility. Not that it always makes sense, but that people is the magic of music. Interpretation is up to you, not the artist.
Even now, I am awed by the consistency Neil displays so early in his solo career. We are never relaxed, for one moment, that the sequence of songs will resemble sameness in any shape or form. It begins with "Cinnamon Girl" which, in some way, reveals the dilemma that many young people have a problem with. That is the in-between phase of being a child and adult. He wants to spend his life with her, but then again, "Ma, send me money". The need to be free but not quite there yet. This theme reveals itself in many of his tunes. It is a slow rocker but with such a memorable riff. Next up "Everybody Knows", a jumpy, sprightly groove that, again, reveals where he's at - between a dream and reality- essentially nowhere.
"Round and Round" is a slow acoustic sadness that, I feel at least, is about loss. A loss of yourself? Or perhaps someone close. "Down By the River", aside from allowing Neil to stretch his jagged lead guitar, proposes another dilemma for the astute listener. The protagonist is lead to possibilities with this woman - but is her non-compliance a reason to shoot her? Down by the River? An enigmatic song at best and I dare not ask Neil the meaning.
We then get to "The Losing End" which reveals an easy-going country groove with some electric guitars helping it along. The theme? Good ol' country heartache. A mainstay in that genre - now and always. The mood then changes, into some outerworldly, ethereal regret and deception. This song reveals a darkness of the mind, and this is brought forth so effectively with the inclusion of violins. An eerie offering, but so very different.
"Cowgirl in the Sand", I think, is one of Neil's most potent songs. It can be taken on many levels. It is hard drivin' (but, it takes on a whole new perspective if you heard him do the acoustic version). Neil pleads with her to stay in her company. But, her place of command is the desert. Desolation. And, this song tries, desperately, to make her see her worth. Neil knows she is a beauty. She feels she is "purple words on a gray background". I feel that this song is an aching plea. It also allows Neil to experiment with lead guitar breaks, gritty and rough and insistent on it's purpose. In all, a brilliant conclusion to a brilliant album.
This album (plus the next two- After the Gold Rush and Harvest) complete the superb triumvirate of Neil's early career. As we know now, he was to go on to more creative terrain. Some of it successful, some of it not so. In any event, plain and simple, he is an amazing artist and, I think, one of the greats in popular music.
This one is definitely a classic and well worth the investment.
Now - if only Guido would replenish my bottles!

Your personal roadmap to reflection and music of worth--Metamorpho

an absolute rock and roll classic........2007-03-30

"tonight's the night" is my favorite neil young album. what's number two, though? "on the beach," "after the gold rush," or "everybody knows this is nowhere." hard to choose from those three great albums. might be "everybody knows..." though. such great songs. such stunning performances. "down by the river" and "cowgirl in the sand" have some of the most originally stunning guitar jams in the history of rock and roll. and the first of those two songs is simply about as haunting a piece of work as you will find in all of the rock and roll canon. "cinnamon girl," with its power chords and great melody is another classic. the whole album is just outrageously fantastic. don't miss it.

When people talk about Jakob Dylan these days, they're less likely to refer to his famous father than to his band, the Wallflowers, and their breakthrough album, Bringing Down the Horse. Not only a staggering commercial success, the disc is also a superb example of the folk-rock Jakob's daddy helped pioneer more than 30 years ago. The Wallflowers don't need family relations to command respect.

When the Wallflowers recorded their self-titled album in 1992, most of the band's members were 22 and weren't ready for prime time yet. The songs had flashes of inspiration and promise but didn't really hang together. It took four years for the Wallflowers to release a second album, but this time they were ready. The folk-rock melodies were strong; the playing was clear and muscular, and the production by T-Bone Burnett (friend of the family) framed the lyrics' storytelling imaginatively. Jakob will never escape comparisons to his dad, but his new music can stand on its own as some of the decade's best.

In fact, Jakob's voice doesn't resemble his father's so much as Tom Petty's nasal drawl, and the way Wallflower Rami Jaffee soaks nearly every song in Benmont Tench-like B-3 organ makes the Heartbreaker connection unmistakable. Fortunately, Jakob's evocative songwriting and the Wallflowers' high-energy playing reminds one of the early Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers records rather than the desultory, later work. Heartbreaker Mike Campbell even plays on "6th Avenue Heartache," the first single and a gloriously harmonized lament for the victims of America's meanest streets. "The same white line that was drawn on you," Jakob sings, "was drawn on me." He takes a more defiant, more rocking approach later in the album when he proclaims he's "Laughing Out Loud" in the face of everyone who ever tried to push him around. --Geoffrey Himes

Brings down the "house" for sure.......2007-07-19

The Wallflowers started in the music business with a bang worthy of bringing down the house. This is a professional and well-done piece of music, of course, what else would you expect from the son of Bob Dylan? It's clear someone really considered the setlist on this CD, it opens with a pow with "One Headlight", which is still the Wallflowers song I play the most and just keeps rocking steady throughout the recording.

"I wish I felt nothing" closes the set with almost a stab in the chest. It's not an upbeat end--and very much a C&W type theme--but the kind of music that keeps you going on to listen for the next song.

Classic Wallflowers Record; A Must Buy.......2007-06-08

This isn't stunning by any means for this set of boys. Jacob Dylan leads the charge on this surging success of the mid to late nineties era. This album was huge for several years for songs like One Headlight, The Difference, Three Marlenas, and 6th Avenue Heartache (which was actually big several months prior to the release of the album). This, their second album, left enough to be desired...but they have measured up and put complete records out in Red Letter Days and Breach since.

This should not be an album remebered for the later tracks, other than the song Angel On My Bike. I do give the tail end of the record credit for setting up the style, edge, and feeling displayed in future strong songs like Letters From The Wasteland and Here He Comes.

I may be the only one out there in my generation that cares to compare the 2 great Dylan singer/songwriters, but I have my opinion. Here, though, I'd rather not say...because the truth of the matter is that I just don't like Bob Dylan music, and I even think I get it. But now the Wallflowers of Jacob Dylan hit the spot for me, that's all--none of this saying flat out who is better in my opinion, just a what I prefer right now so far, that's it.

They need to put out albums more often then every 3-4 years. I know it must be tough to write 20 songs a year for a record but come on, not really, huh? Oh, well, these guys put out good stuff. Word.

f1_nut.......2006-10-06

This is a fantastic album!!!
This band is a long way ahead of the rest.
If you only buy one wallflowers album, buy this one!
I would strongly recommend getting all their albums.
Most people would have heard and like one headlight, 6th avenue heartache is just as good, as is 3 marlenas and god don't make lonely girls.
You won't be dissapointed, get it.

Still a timeless, classic collection of music.......2006-08-26

Jakob Dylan is not famous because he is Bob's son. Jakob is famous because this album was a milestone in the music world.

I purchased Bringing Down The Horse after the oft-overlooked first single, "The Difference" was released. Safe to say, I was one of the first people to own this album. I devoured it, even in my young age of 11.

This album was stolen from me around 8 years ago, and I picked up a used copy in a Hastings on a road trip. Even now, this entire album remains one of the main discs in rotation for me. I found that, with each song, I still remembered the words and, all of a sudden, I was 14 again (the year my copy got stolen, it was an album I got all my friends into around that time as well) and bouncing around my room to the poppy tracks, weeping with the sad songs and contemplating with the intensity that I used to analyze these songs with.

The album opens with "One Headlight," one of the more popular singles off of this album, and ends with "I Wish I Felt Nothing," an intense builder that opens into lush auditory landscapes that really paints a picture.

In between the bookends is the REALLY good stuff. Key tracks on this album include the popular-but-still-wonderful-after-all of these-years "Sixth Avenue Heartache," which is a beautiful duet with Adam Duritz on background vox; the slide guitar is amazing in this song; "Bleeders," an upbeat tune with great guitar sound and finally, my favorite: "Three Marlenas," which, yes, was a single, but still an amazing idea and musically flawless.

Dylan's vocals are shaky, not unlike his father, but it only adds character as a key instrument in The Wallflowers. His lyricism more than balances it with just the right mixture of metaphorical and literal meaning.

Sadly, however, this is the first and last great effort from the boys known as the Wallflowers. Five stars, still wonderful to this day. I will forever be in love with Bringing Down The Horse.

agreed, one of the 90's best.......2006-08-16

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far, far away (it was this one, in fact) a good man by the name of Bob Dylan with a terrible voice and marginal guitar abilities came into the music scene. As untalented as he seemed, his exquise song-writing skills made him one of America's biggest figures.

Years later and Bob had a son, Jakob. Jakob Dyland has inherited his dad's songwriting skills, but with the bonuses of a great voice, great guitar skills, and of course, this amazing band.

"Bringing Down the Horse" is one of those albums that just ages well. Bought this back late 1997. I was in eighth grade at the time. Now I'm 22, with a momumental collection of discs, and I still carry this one. Everybody who remembers alternative and what it was really supposed to be like remembers this. it doesn't get much better

Something this great deserves a song breakdown:

1. One Headlight-Wallflowers are best know for this one. I was hooked on this song before I even knew the artist who played. Still am.
2. 6th Avenue Hearthache-featuring Adam Duritz from Counting crows, another one of my favorite bands, this another song they scored big with. Loveit
3. Bleeders-Wonderfull. Love it even more today
4. 3 Marlenas-Another hit. Catchiest tune they do.
5. Difference-This isn't my favorite song but since it hit it so big and because it is the wallflowers, I love it just the same.
6. Invisible City-One of the two more weak pts on the disc. Slow, sort of boring, but tolerable and enjoyable if you are in the right mood.
7.Laughing Out Loud-This is one of my favs, should have been single #5
8. Josephine-The other week pt. See #6
9. God Don't Make Lonley Girls-It's true. He told me himself. He drives a Porche.
10. Angel On My Bike-This one is sweet. Intersting idea.
11. I Wish I Felt Nothing-Best Part Of This Song is the climactic surge of volume at the end. Definately influence from his father here.

Okay? Great, buy it

Often overlooked as it comes between Young's career-defining 1977 three-LP set Decade and the decade-ending Rust Never Sleeps, Comes a Time is a gentle album that includes some of Young's most soft-spoken material. "Lotta Love" became a hit for Nicolette Larson, who adds harmonies throughout the album, and tracks such as "Look Out for My Love" and "Human Highway" are indicative of Young's divergent styles. With four producer credits, six studio listings, an orchestra, and Crazy Horse all on the same album, Comes a Time is an interesting pastiche of all the things that make Young tick. Lacking his usual conceptual thrust, you'll just have to settle for some great songs. --Rob O'Connor

My Second Favorite Neil Young Album.......2007-07-06

Neil is amazing in how he succeeded in bands (Buffalo Springfield, CSNY) and as a solo act. Then, he can succeed as an electric rocker or a gentle acoustic folkie.

I like so much of his work, but Everybody Knows This is Nowhere remains my favorite. Close on its heels, though, is Comes A Time. Brilliant and thoughtful songs that establish a mood and a place, except for the odd "Motorcycle Mama" which is best omitted.

strong neil young release........2007-02-10

this is a somewhat neglected album from neil young that is among his strongest overall sets. except for the rocking "motorcycle mama," this is a gentle cycle of songs, laid-back and pleasing in its entirety. if you are a neil young fan and don't yet have this, get it quick. if you have no neil young cds (really?) this is a fine place to start digging his quieter side.

There Comes A Time Neil will change again when you least expect it.......2007-01-30

Good album. Plays like Harvest Part 2, but more polished. Contains a few leftover Crazy Horse tracks that sound out of place here.

Polished Young.......2006-11-22

Comes a Time is arguably Young's most polished and commercially astute album. It combines the dark, anarchic artistry that sets him apart from his talented colleagues Crosby, Stills, and Nash with the songcraft and production skills they possess, skills that Young shares, but which he only chooses to demonstrate on occasion. An example of this combination from the album is "Look Out for My Love," one of Young's finest compositions. Comes a Time appears almost effortless, but its value is highlighted when set beside his later "follow-ups" to Harvest, Old Ways and Harvest Moon, which, apart from significantly weaker songs and lyrics, appear forced in comparison.

It's a Classic .......2006-08-31

You can't go wrong with this classic Neil. Not to mention the very reasonable price for a cassette which works in my 1997 vehicle!

Amazon.com essential recording

Young has recorded many live albums, but none capture his two dominant musical personalities with as much power as 1979's Rust Never Sleeps. The acoustic side opens with "My, My, Hey, Hey (Out of the Blue)," a devastating anthem about the state of rock & roll. Comparing the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten to the late Elvis Presley, Young delivers perhaps his most famous line: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Side 2 demonstrates the emotional power of Young's hard-rocking quartet, Crazy Horse, with the scathing political songs "Powderfinger," "Welfare Mothers," and the loud reprise of "My, My, Hey, Hey." --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

so good.......2007-06-22

First let me mention that John Morgan's review below was an exciting read. I love those kind of reviews!

My review won't be as good, but I want to give a shout out to a very good rock artist- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Whoops, I meant, Neil Young and Crazy Horse. hehe

Rust Never Sleeps was a very popular record for Neil Young back in the late 70's. My dad thinks it was Neil's most popular album, but I can't say whether there's any truth to that.

Anyway, everyone knows track one. It's great. A dark, creepy and interesting tune that one is. "Thrasher" is almost straight-up country, and it's very good. I enjoy it. "Pocahontas" almost brings me to tears with its amazing beauty, along with "Sail Away".

After that, the album starts rocking out. Funny how it's a gradual build. "Powderfinger" shows what's straight ahead- hard rock dominated by none other than guitars. "Welfare Mothers" is catchy and "Sedan Delivery" is an acquired taste, but numerous plays reveals a highly enjoyable song. It's strangely written, which might turn people off at first. "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)" is like the first song but with heavy guitars thrown in, painting a darker image.

Neil at his best? Maybe.

If you are a Neil Young fan, this is a must for your collection. Every song is great!

Captain Crunch.......2007-03-02

My wife and I were in the garage not too long ago and "we" decided that we would thin out my CD collection...actually, my wife decided and I just did the customary head nod, "Yes, dear...whatever you say, dear..." So she was going through it at breakneck speed and the "toss out" pile was growing increasingly larger than "keep" pile. I think I broke out of whatever hypnotic trance I was in when I saw her carelessly toss Neil Young's classic, Rust Never Sleeps in the discard pile.

"Hey, whaddaya think you're doing?"

"Oh, John, for God's sakes it's only Neil Young..."

The hackles on my neck immediately began to raise and my face got three shades redder, "Only Neil Young? I will have you know that this particular CD is a classic."

"Classic garbage..."

I grabbed the CD out of her hand and ripped out the Best of Abba (my wife's idea of classic music) out of the boom box and put this baby in. She sat there patiently listening to all the songs and after it was over all she could say was, "He's quite a whiner, isn't he?"

I took the CD out of the player and went inside and like a sulky teenager went in my room and put it in my CD player in the bedroom and put my headphones on and put on Hey Hey, My My on repeat and just let the King of the Fuzz guitar take me to deeper and deeper levels. Neil Young was crunching cords and distorting notes long before Nirvanna, Pearl Jam, or any other "grunge" group came on the scene. Neil Young needs his backup band Crazy Horse just like Crazy Horse needs him.

After the 12th listen my wife gently knocked on the bedroom door. "I want to apologize to you, John. I really didn't think you liked Neil Young that much. As a truce I made you a banana split."

I accepted the apology, the banana split and I got to keep my CD, but the next day I went looking for my Blue Oyster Cult CDs only to find out that they got tossed along with my favorite Hawaiin shirt...

Does anyone know of a good divorce lawyer?

Picks up right where Zuma left off! .......2007-01-30

The acoustic side contains his best folk song Thrasher, which is about CSN. The electric side has one of his best underrated rockers Welfare Mothers.

No rust on these songs.......2007-01-07

Rust never sleeps is a great accoustic electric mix.Mymy heyhey was a statement about rock at the time. Thrasher is one of Neils best. Ride my lima is clever good imagry. Pochahontas is abot the native american experence great song, Sailaway is pretty. Powderfinger is the best electric song. Wellfare mothers is good Sedan delivery is agreat fast rocker Heyhey mymy has real good electric guitar. Rust never sleeps is Neil young and Crazyhorse at their best.

On their debut CD, three young Canadian songbirds (Frazey Ford, Samantha Parton, and Trish Klein) join the neo-trad movement that has given us such notable voices as Iris DeMent and Gillian Welch. But where Welch finds inspiration in the dark hollows and tragic tales of Appalachian music, the Be Good Tanyas seek out sweetness and light, reveling in the interplay of their beautifully trilling voices. Blue Horse is deeply rooted but is not an exercise in old-time purism; originals outnumber traditional songs, and the core accompaniment of guitar and banjo is often supplemented by bass and drums, creating a Rickie Lee Jones-esque lilt in "The Littlest Birds" and a reggae-tinged groove on the haunting old ballad "Rain and Snow." The band name may be a bit tough to get your lips around, but the music of this talented trio is a refreshing drink from a clear mountain stream. --Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers

Nobody like 'em and.......2007-05-04

probably never will be. Haunting blues/folk/bluegrass hell I don't know what it is. The word "genius" comes to mind...

Too good to miss.......2007-04-20

This album was my most amazing find from last year: hearing it got me to buy all their albums (which didn't disappoint). The lush, lilting vocals, dead-on harmonies, and the perfectly balanced acoustic instrumentation are powerful, beautiful and real - refreshing in an age of slick, overwrought production. I read somewhere that much lurks below the pleasing, old-time melodies and rhythms, and a few listens confirmed this.

They have some beautiful original songs, and in each of their covers, whether a traditional song or one penned by Jolie Holland or Townes Van Zandt, they offer a fresh, unique interpretation.

The Tanyas are too good to miss. Start with this album.

Fabulous.......2007-01-10

This is a great album from some "soon to be way famous" gals with a great sense of song styling. Anyone who listens to Deb Talan, Patti Griffin, or maybe even the Dixie Chicks (not my personal favorite) will love this album.

The Be Good Tanyas Rock!.......2007-01-09

If you're in the mood for some fine traditional music (alt-country? [North] Americana? Labels fail...) then the Be Good Tanyas are for you. This Vancouver trio stick to their vision and never stumble into schmaltzy Nashville-esque drivel. Their rendition of "The Coo Coo Bird" is not to be missed (check out the Tarbox Ramblers' different arrangement of this tune on their self-titled album). I have nothing but gratitude for the fine tunes the Tanyas have given us.

Refreshing and new........2006-01-21

I love them. They are fabulous! They have their own unique kind of down-to-earth sound that is like a blend of two or three different music styles. They are a new generation of folk music, with their acoustic guitar and poetic lyrics. But, the background sound of Mandolin and Violin give them a Bluegrass touch. There is also a little twist of 90's style Alternative there. Lyrics are full of feeling, both happy (The Littlest Birds) and sad (Rain and Snow) but there is not a song on the album that is too blue or too peppy.

I especially like the non-synthesized sound they have, with mandolin, violin, acoustic guitar and unique vocal harmonies. Lead singer has a unique mid-range voice that is unlike anything I have heard before. To describe them better, take a dash of Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss and Tracy Chapman and then stir well.

Amazon.com

If Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and Ragged Glory are the two finest studio albums Neil Young recorded with Crazy Horse, Zuma certainly qualifies as a close third. Recorded in 1975, Zuma exudes both a sense of focus and a tentative optimism, two qualities that were completely MIA from the bleak Time Fades Away/Tonight's the Night/On the Beach trilogy that preceded it. "Barstool Blues," "Don't Cry No Tears," and "Drive Back" are terse, punchy rockers, while "Danger Bird" and "Cortez the Killer" are extended guitar workouts in the grand Crazy Horse tradition. And the two acoustic entries--"Pardon My Heart" and "Through My Sails" (the latter was recorded with Crosby, Stills & Nash)--are absolutely gorgeous. Ignore the crappy cover art, and treat yourself to one of Young's most underrated records. --Dan Epstein

Customer Reviews:

Quintessential Neil Young..........2007-07-25

Heralded on its release in 1975 as a long awaited "return to form" by those yearning for another "Harvest", "Zuma" is a much richer and wilder album which, on the way, showcases Neil Young's music in all its mercurial, often brilliant but rambling glory. Veering from the heavy metal grunge of "Drive Back", through the searingly powerful, wonderfully controlled guitar-work on "Cortez the Killer", the bizarrely addled incantations of "Barstool Blues", the foot-tapping country of "Lookin' for a Love", to the perfect MOR harmonies of "Through My Sails", it exemplifies what's made him so good but so frustratingly difficult to follow. And, up there with any of his better recordings, it's not only essential for any Neil Young fan but an excellent "next step" for anyone wanting to explore beyond "After The Goldrush", "Harvest" or his "Greatest Hits" albums.

Four stars then? Well yes, but not enough, because in here is a hidden gem... an outstanding, perfectly formed track that sums up what makes Neil Young worth the effort. Rarely played and missing from virtually all of the "Best of" lists of his songs it is, for me at least, one of the most quietly beautiful, ecstatically reflective and unforgettable pieces of acoustic music ever made. "Pardon My Heart"... worth the price of the album on its own.

Zuma my review.......2007-02-14

Zuma is one of the best Neil Young and Crazy Horse discs. Danger Bird and Cortez the killer are two of the best electric songs for Neil Cortez is real impressive. Driveback dont cry no tears Barstool blues lookin for alove are good Both accoustic songs are great Pardon my heart and Through my sails both have good vocals and harmony.

Don't cry no tears around Neil, this is his BEST!.......2007-01-30

This is Neil's best album and the most underrated album in Rock!
Highlights are...
Danger Bird- epic guitar song, dark!
Barstool Blues- great song that no one has heard
Stupid Girl-About Joni Mitchell?
Drive Back- Punk attitude song
Cortez The Killer- The Best Neil song, period.
Through My Sails- druggy CSNY outake from the disaster 1974 Hawaii sessions, great.

Like Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere's little brother.......2006-10-21

It's funny, since Zuma is probably the closest thing to a traditional rock album Mr. Young's done (a TRULY traditional rock album would be impossible for this guy), you'd think I like it more than I do. Don't get me wrong, there's good stuff here. But too often the guy settles for mediocrity.
First, the good. Cortez the Killer is my favorite here, the song friggin' rocks, a lengthy guitar jam a la Down By the River, Cowgirl in the Sand and the then-upcoming Like a Hurricane. I've heard some people don't like Neil's guitar playing, I say listen to this one and you'll get blown away. If the three-and-a-half minute intro doesn't grab you, you're not a Neil Young fan. What else is good? My second favorite song is Barstool Blues, another great rock song. Plus I like Don't Cry No Tears and the other long guitar showpiece, Danger Bird.
But the rest isn't quite up to the Neil Young Standard. He often settles for generic love songs (a la Pardon My Heart and Lookin' for a Love). Either that, or he suddenly becomes immature (Stupid Girl, which is, well... stupid). Through My Sails has some nice harmonies, being CSN related, but it's not much outside of that, and Drive Back is a generic rocker saved only by Neil's guitar fireworks.
It's a respectable album, far better than the vastly overrated Harvest and spotty debut. But compared to On the Beach, After the Gold Rush, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere or Tonight's the Night, it falls apart. I suppose you should buy it, just don't expect anything near a masterpiece.

Mere months passed between the release of Neil Young's mid-career milestone Rust Never Sleeps and this 1979 tour recording, which documents a late-'78 San Francisco performance. Indeed, Live Rust boasts four songs from the album that gave it its name. It's also sequenced in the same spirit as its studio sibling. As with Rust Never Sleeps, Live Rust opens with steady-flowing acoustic numbers before swirling into an electric vortex. What was side 4 off the original two-record version--"Like a Hurricane," "Hey, Hey, My, My," and "Tonight's the Night"--is arguably Young and Crazy Horse at their peak as a live unit, with all due respect to 1991's estimable Weld and 1997's desultory Year of the Horse. Few rock bands rank with Young and his stalwart electric trio, and Live Rust presents them in all their raging glory. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Consider the DVD.......2007-02-26

After reading Garbageman's review, where he points out the butchering of "Cortez", I decided instead to pick up the DVD "Rust never sleeps". It is the same concert (Oct 22, 1978), and as I write this, costs exactly the same as this CD. It includes the complete Cortez, a few extra songs (Thrasher, Welfare Mothers, Tonight's The Night), and of course, visuals (which are sometimes tacky, it must be said). The audio of course uses a lossy codec, but I find it excellent -- with a 5.1 system it will probably be superior to the CD. And if you want the CD anyway, it is "fair use" in most countries to rip the audio and burn a CD for your own private use.

I haven't heard the CD: I give it 3 stars because Amazon requires some sort of rating, the DVD gets 5 stars, and the truncated Cortez would be sufficient to take away two stars for me.

Live rust my review.......2007-02-02

Live rust starts off great with Sugar mountain the best of the accoustc songs. Iam achild and After the goldrush are better than the studio versions. All the electric songs are great Like a hurricne Tonights the night and Cinnamon girl are better than the studio. I like Cortez the killer too The loner and when you dance are great to me every thing but Lotta love is great on here. This is like Neil Young and Crazyhorses greatest hits till 1979 with extra kick,

Awesome.......2006-07-20

Not going to comment on another reviewer's complaints about the sound quality compared to the vinyl - never heard it on vinyl and not qualified to compare.

But the music is awesome. It's pure angry beauty, Hurricane sounds better here than anywhere else, ever, except MAYBE Weld. (Weld's great too!) I Am A Child...Sugar Mountain...Needle and the Damage Done (his perf at the Grammies a while back of this was great)...all amazing songs.

Young is the genius.

Greatest Live Ever.......2006-04-28

MOst of the time I offer opinions in reviews. This time I am simply going to state a "fact." Live Rust is the GREATEST live record in existence. Nothing comes within 200 million lightyears of it. The songs chosen are perfect for the set, the performances stellar, and the music otherwordly. The last quarter of the album is the highlight of the divine Neil Young's career.

fade away so young, with so much left undone.......2006-04-14

This album is excellent. The opening of this CD is more acoustic and laid back and in the second half Young and Crazy Horse rock out. I have lots of memories listening to this album with friends either in the car or out drinking when we camped. My personal favorites are Powderfinger, Comes a Time, Needle and the damage done/Lotta love and Sedan Delivery. If you really love Neil Young though i'd buy "on the beach" if you don't already own it and you call yourself a Young fan you gotta buy that before this. Overall a solid album with Live Rust though.

Live Rust gets the most props, but if you're looking for a live document of Neil Young and Crazy Horse at their speaker-shredding, stage-scorching best, Weld is an absolute must-own. Fired up by the success of 1990's Ragged Glory, and outraged by the eruption of the Gulf War, Young and his cohorts attacked their 1991 tour like men on a suicide mission. An angry, gunshot-laced version of Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" is the closest thing here to an acoustic reverie; the rest of the album offers up staggeringly intense electric versions of Neil songs both current ("Crime in the City," "Love to Burn," "Rockin' in the Free World") and classic ("Cortez the Killer," "Cinnamon Girl," "Powderfinger"). The back-cover photo of a disheveled Young cradling a broken-stringed guitar pretty much says it all--no one could have unleashed a sonic onslaught this brutal, and emerged unscathed from the experience. --Dan Epstein

Customer Reviews:

Distorted, deranged pulchritude.......2007-06-29

"This is the story of Johnny Rotten" - no s#it; "Rockin' In The Free World" - nihilistic, sarcastic, unforgiving - could have oozed outta PiL's Album (remember "Home"). On Weld, classic NY&CH epics get nailed SHUT. And it's all done with wrists - no whammy bars on these abused Gibsons. All those gnarly Cheap Thrills' leads blast outta the crypt.

Urban dystopia inflicted. "Welfare Mothers" and "Crime In The City" (the latter among Young's most barbed, and lucid, storytelling) drag the listener into fierce noise and despairing nihilism. Then, the humanism erupts with "Blowin' In The Wind," a sure Hendrix phantasm. Hippie frisson abounds on "Cortez The Killer" and "Roll Another Number" - succumb.

It's also "grunge." Jad Fair might have written "Like A Hurricane" - if he possessed the endorphins. To the point, it's all about Crazy Horse; they can play Madison Square Garden like a St. Louis bowling alley. Every fuzztoned note is blood, telepathy, exorcism. A cluster of unfortunate observations, made euphoric.

Ferocious...and better than "Live Rust".......2007-05-05

Very few live albums are as angry and snarling as this live set. Crazy Horse never sounded better, and Young--angry at the outbreak of the Gulf War in '91--unleashes a set of songs, some old, some new (what an amazing cover of "Blowin' in the Wind"!!) that more or less define the grunge attitude in the early 90s. Coupled with the 30 minute feedback montage "Arc", this double disk set is positively breathtaking. You can just feel the energy and volume. Wish I coulda been there...

Good, but not as good as Live Rust.......2007-02-08

I don't understand how people think this is better than Live Rust. It's good, but not as good as reviews would lead me to believe. Some songs are great, but others kinda drag. Love the Album Ragged Glory, but the live versions of songs from that album aren't as good as the studio versions.

I'm the guy who yells "POWDERFINGER!" at the beginning of Disc 2.......2006-04-28

If you listen to this CD, my voice can be heard... When I saw Neil and Horse live in L.A., I yelled "Powderfinger", "Powderfinger", two times... I really wanted to hear that song. Then, right after, the song "Cortez the Killer" began... I turned to my friend and said: "Oh, cool... Powderfinger will be next because they always play those songs together". On this CD, which is partly recorded in L.A., right before the song CORTEZ THE KILLER you can hear a voice... that is me... yelling "Powderfinger" twice. And that, my friends, is my fifteen seconds of fame... Or rather, seven seconds. This CD, other than the stud yelling on disc 2, is very good, and is much better than YEAR OF THE HORSE that came out a few years later. I also like it better than RUST NEVER SLEEPS 'cept that that CD has acoustic stuff... I'll put it this way; WELD is my favorite live CD of Crazy horse electric tunes. And don't bother getting ARC or ARC/WELD because ARC is just a bunch of feedback and is kinda annoying, and I like feedback. Anyhow... "POWDERFINGER! POWDERFINGER!"

A Showcase of Grunge.......2006-02-12

There is just no other artist that sings like Neil Young, that plays a guitar like Neil Young, or that covers so many various styles as Neil Young -- from gentle country rock (exemplified by his latest film Heart of Gold) to the angriest and hardest grunge. Weld showcases Young & Crazy Horse at their hardest, loudest, and grungiest. Young's extended distortion drenched guitar solos are riveting and jaw-dropping. Young unleashed. But be forewarned, this album is not for the faint of heart. It must be played loud!
