Title: Classic Neil Young is new again...
Product review: There's just something that grips you when you listen to the album for the first time. It's raw. It's powerful. It's good.Neil Young's latest album "Greendale" is a story-driven concept album, almost to the point where one could consider it a rock-opera. The difference between this rock-opera and others (i.e. Tommy, The Wall) is that Young allows for a raw, almost under-produced sound, the sound he's become known for in his live performances with Crazy Horse. But it's not just those long-rockin' songs a la "Cowboy in the Sand" that are the jewels of this album. Young introduces a touch of smooth R&B, relaxed country, and hearty rock-a-billy into both the music and his lyrics in that lazy care-free style that only he could deliver. Whether you're a fan of early works like "Harvest" or later works like "Ragged Glory" you'll enjoy this back-to-basics sound of Neil Young at his best. Oh yeah, make sure to check out the DVD too. Definitely a worth-while purchase.
