Title: Another twist in the road
Product review: Allright. By now you either get Neil Young or you don't and time should not be wasted trying to bring new converts to the fold. This is an ambitious,sprawling effort that misfires at certain points, but overall it works for me. The songs are spare, to be sure, but convey an earnestness and freshness lacking in most overproduced fare. You get the sense that this was a one take recording which sounds live and vibrant. The cd builds narratively and musically to a powerful conclusion, despite the muddled storyline. I would liken it to a stripped down "Ragged Glory", with a more consistent musical theme.The bonus dvd is a treasure and is worth the purchase in its own right. It was featured on the Neil's website last month. The liner notes indicate that Pancho was not part of the studio mix, which accounts for his nominal contribution on tour. To conclude, buy it, get in the car, crank it up and go for a long drive.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
