Review title: Solid, Guitar-driven Neil
Product review: Personally I like it when an aged rocker revisits a period of his career and updates it with wisdom. Bowie has done it a few times and taken some critical lumps for it. But in my opinion he, Van Morrison, and Neil on this new album, keep it fresh. "Are You Passionate" seems to recall Buffalo Springfield with its Motown-tinged hooks. Nearly all the songs have a signature guitar riff that, like Mick Ronson's contributions to early seventies Bowie songs, is often more memorable than the vocal melody. But this isn't the kind of stuff one should dissect; Neil pulls it off with his usual ease and the performances are masterful, yet seem to come from someone's garage. We need to appreciate how hard this would be for anyone else who has recorded as much music as Neil. Cherish this guy while you've got him; and keep buying the new stuff!
