19th studio album by Neil Young released as Neil Young & Crazy Horse. This is one of my most beloved albums, not only by Neil Young, but of all the albums that I have in my collection. If Eldorado and Freedom had some grunge potential, this may be seen as another primary source to that style, but it's also one of the best garage rock albums ever released, and I would rather listen to this than any "clean" grunge album - this is IT! It's one of those rare albums that you can play on your car stereo riding long trips, in rain, snow or sunshine, and fits an evening perfectly drinking red wine and clearing the world of politics or whatever in good company. Damn it's so good! It's also very simple, and maybe that's why critics are somewhat reluctant in handing it 5 stars, although it was well-received. Like good wine, I think, in time this will only be rated higher and higher. All songs are written by Young except "Farmer John", which is a cover of a '60s r&b song by Don & Dewey but I doubt that version rocks like this. The album is the most recent Neil Young album to be enlisted in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
