NEIL YOUNG – His Magnum Opus ‘AFTER THE GOLD RUSH’ Is 50 Today

31 August 2020

Artist: Neil Young
Album: After The Gold Rush – his third LP
Released: 31 August 1970 – 50 years ago today

AllMusic wrote: “After the Gold Rush was recorded with the aid of Nils Lofgren, a 17-year-old unknown whose piano was a major instrument… Much of After the Gold Rush consisted of country-folk love songs, which consolidated the audience Young had earned through his tours and recordings with CSNY; its dark yet hopeful tone matched the tenor of the times in 1970, making it one of the definitive singer/songwriter albums, and it has remained among Young’s major achievements.” Score: 5/5.

Singles: Only Love Can Break Your Heart / When You Dance, I Can Really Love

– ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART –

NEIL YOUNG Is Lookin’ For A New Leader For AMERICA

Posted on August 16 by Anatool

Gripping reveries for the laziest day of the week…

16 August 2020

Living legend NEIL YOUNG shared a new acoustic version of his 2006 song
Lookin’ For A Leader now called LOOKIN’ FOR A LEADER 2020. A wake-up
call to all Americans to vote for a new White House leader next November as
ignorant bully Trump split America right down the middle turning his country
into the Divided States Of America.

America is beautiful
but she has an ugly side
We’re lookin’ for a leader
in this country far and wide

Fuck Trump…

NEIL YOUNG – His Darkest Masterwork ‘TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT’ Is 45…

Posted on June 20 by Anatool

20 June 2020

Artist: Neil Young
Album: Tonight’s The Night – sixth LP
Dedicated to Danny Whitten, guitarist of Crazy Horse,
who wrote the song ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’ made
famous by Rod Stewart
Released: 20 June 1975 – 45 years ago today
Score: #25 in the US

Rolling Stone wrote: “Tonight’s the Night finds Neil Young on his knees at the top of the heap, struggling to get back to his feet. The musical difficulties of last year’s On the Beach have been resolved as directly as possible by a return to recording with Crazy Horse and Nils Lofgren, with whom Young recorded his 1970 masterpiece, After the Gold Rush… Crying over the death of his real and imagined friends, Neil Young seems at once heroic and mock heroic, brave and absurd. Like the best of both, he leaves us as he found us, ravaged but rocking.”

Key phrase: Neil Young’s darkest masterpiece ever (with ‘On The Beach‘ at #2)
Key tracks: Tonight’s The Night / World On A String / Come On Baby Let’s Go Down Town /
Albuquerque / New Mama / Lookout Joe / Tired Eyes

Next week living legend NEIL YOUNG releases his long-awaited lost album HOMEGROWN. The longplayer he recorded in 1974 but never came out because it was ‘too personal.’ Too much about his broken relationship with actress Carrie Snodgress.

Young already shared heartfelt ballad Try featuring the late Levon Helm (The Band) and Emmylou Harris. And here’s another fresh one called VACANCY. A vintage Young rocker.

Wailing, electrifying, and emotional…
