Title: Did there really have to be a "Ballad Of Gary Hart"?
Review: Even if it did turn out to be sort of a post-Monica "Hail To the Chief" as accidental prophecy? By this I mean the title track (don't look for it by either of the other "titles" I mentioned). The spectacle of Neil boppin' to a Supremes-style beat has only curiosity value, which lasts for only one playing. Then, who cares? Everything in here by Neil is nothing in comparison to what he gives us on his own albums. All of CSN(Y?)'s '90s albums reveal a band afraid of becoming '70s dinosaurs. The problem is, that's what they're best at. They ain't worth diddly as honorary gen-X'ers. I miss the REAL CSN, dammit!
Is the review positive or negative?
