Key track: 5. "It's a Dream" (4 / 5)
27th studio album by Neil Young is a return to one of his 'comfort zones'. On this, he continues his acoustic singer / songwriter and folk tradition, initiated with Harvest and which had Silver & Gold as his most recent. The album was met by positive reviews and was nominated in two categories at the 2006 Grammy Award. I don't find it as interesting as Comes a Time or Harvest Moon but see it close to match Silver & Gold. Not great, nor bad, just middle of the road, quite alright.
