Editorial Review:
After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called "perfect"--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what "We've got mother nature on the run" means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, "Southern Man" still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members of Crazy Horse, transforms ramshackle country and folk songs into soulful hippie hymns. --Steve Knopper

Rating: - Great headphone album-made me discover a mono track
This is still one of my favorite albums of all time, and I just discovered how good it sounds in headphones (great stereo spread), however I am listening to Oh lonesome me, and it is in mono-I think I remember that from when I had it on LP. Anyway, I don't think old Neil did any better than here. The songs are all great, and his voice is in perfect shape!
Rating: - WHEN ROCKERS BECOME SONG-WRITERS...
So, what happened here I think, was that Neil broke his leg or something, and had a release deadline to keep, and he couldn't pick up the electric guitar that he had weilded so flawlessly on his previous release. SO, instead he decided to hit the piano, and focus more on his softer side, initiating a creative flood for softer material, and hence, coming up with a songwriters treasure trove of an album. AFTER THE GOLD RUSH seems to be the favorite for anyone in the singer/songwriter circuit, and well ... Read More

Rating: - 'There was a band playing in my head, and I felt like getting high.'
Maybe it's partly nostalgia, but After the Gold Rush and Harvest will always be my two favorite Neil Young albums. Recorded after Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) and before Harvest (1972), After the Gold Rush is considered Young's commercial breakthrough album and contains so many of his best-known songs ("After the Gold Rush," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Southern Man," and "Don't Let It Bring You Down") that many might consider this a greatest hits compilation. With Stephen Stills providing ... Read More
Rating: - "Don't Let It Bring You Down"
Oh my people, I have been very busy of late. Aside from the daunting task of saving humanity, I have been asked by reknown editors to submit my reviews for a book they are considering. It will be called, "Metamorpho: The Seering Stone Reviews". Catchy title, ey? And, many of them will be culled from the very reviews my fanatical fans have read on these very pages! Oh, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking why you should pay for old, retread reviews? Not so my people! Proofreaders will be on hand to ... Read More
