There was a time, way back in the late 1970s and again in the early 1990s, when Neil Young was about as great as it gets. Maybe even the early 1970s as well. But he has always been distractingly uneven. An artist? A hardon? Sometimes both.
And much more of his life he was not so hot.
The 21st Century? he has sucked from begining to end and just about now, I don't like him live and I don't like him on record. Plus, he irritates me.
So, I guess I am not part of the target audience for his upcoming reunion with Crazy Horse.
News that this eagerly awaited album will feature folk standards leaves me with this great urge to crawl into a ball and go to sleep and the addional news that a children's choir is included makes me wonder why they don't cover "Career Opportunities" as well (check out the last song!! -at least I hope it's the Sex Pistol)
So here's the track listing and expect it on June 5th, 2012
01 Oh Susannah
02 Clementine
03 Tom Dooley
04 Gallows Pole
05 Get A Job
06 Travel On
07 High Flyin’ Bird
08 She’ll Be Comin ’Round The Mountain
09 This Land Is Your Land
10 Wayfarin’ Stranger
11 God Save The Queen
