Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Return To Greendale
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Return To Greendale Reprise I like Neil Young most of the time. Or even love Neil Young’s music most of the time. But I think I like him best when he’s being wilfully obscure, or chasing his own vision more directly than the handful of times when he’s just Making […]Archive

The Daze That Used To Be: Ragged Glory Turns 30
Ragged Glory by Neil Young (with Crazy Horse) turns 30 today. Thirty years old! I remember walking into a store that is long gone in a town that was my home (but I’ve now lived longer anywhere else) to buy this on a format that was long ago dead and buried until a bit of […]Archive

Stubs: # 78 – Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Wellington, 2013

Husky: Forever So
Husky Forever So Liberation/Subpop Sometimes it’s funny the way in which an album finds you. I’m not sure I would have ever checked out Husky were it not for the news that they were opening for Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Now of course they are no longer doing that – for the NZ shows […]Archive

Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Psychedelic Pill
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Psychedelic Pill Warners I thought Neil Young was a bit lost earlier this year with Americana – and then I read his memoir where he admitted he was lost; was suffering writer’s block for the first time in his life (seemingly – let’s just not count albums like Life, Landing […]Archive
