Editorial Review:
Released in early 1969, Neil Young's first solo album is essentially an extension of "Broken Arrow" and "Expecting to Fly," his two most inventive contributions to Buffalo Springfield. Jack Nitzsche arranged and produced several of the tracks, fusing haunting strings and even funky female backing vocals to acoustic-oriented songs like "Here We Are in the Years" and "The Old Laughing Lady." "The Loner" is the one song from Neil Young to achieve classic-rock immortality, but "I've Been Waiting for You" is almost as good, and the rambling "Last Trip to Tulsa" presages the dark acoustic epics of On the Beach. Though it's not an essential album, Neil Young-like the man himself-is rarely less than interesting. --Dan Epstein
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An overlooked masterpiece of psychedelia.
Like some others, I prefer the original pressing. The lovely guitar work, some of Young's best, sounds somehow even better buried in the mix. It is an album of aching beauty. A young fragile voice singing visionary songs; the menace of 'The Loner', the interface between paradise and progress explored in 'Here We Are in the Years', different aspects of love expressed in 'I've Been Waiting For You' 'What Did You do to My Life' and 'I've Loved Her So Long', the lust of 'If I Could Have Her tonight' ...

Rating: - A Fantastic Beginning
Some might find this recording archaic and dated. I could not disagree more. Personally, I think other words express it best--nostalgic, disillusioned, timeless.
I was a Buffalo Springfield fan during those incredible years, and because of where I lived, I found myself limited to what small record stores had to offer in the 60's. I did not have the chance to hear these songs until 1973.
The music reminds me of certain elements of Buffalo Springfield.

Rating:  - Sometimes the First isn't Always the Best
The first time I heard this album ,I purchased at a thrift,I really didn't have the desire to hear it again.(although did give it a second spin,nope.no go.)I was expecting more on this solo debut from Mr. Young.The problem was with more of the instrumental arrangements than the ingenious writing of Young,maybe looking for more of the acoustic sound,where as on this recording,sounded like everything stuck in the middle of a whirlwind.I'm probably used to hearing songs like Cowgirl in the Sand,my favorite Neil Young ...

Rating: - There are two versions of this album
Just as an informational aside, I've owned this album since it came out and later purchased another on vinyl and eventually on CD. The first cover doesn't have "Neil Young" across the top but only the stark illustration of Neil. I can't remember what possessed me to buy the second LP with the different, current, cover. I was "Neil obsessed" , I think, ever since I saw the Springfield on my birthday in 1967 at Boston's Back Bay Theatre on a bill with The Beach Boys, the Soul Survivors (remember them?) and the Strawberry ...
