Title: What an awful, awful album
Review: If Neil had cranked out album's like this throughout his career his name would be linked with lesser singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne instead of Bob Dylan. I know what you are thinking, "But he has done albums like this before! What about Harvest, Harvest Moon and Silver and Gold?!?!". Sorry, but Prairie Wind is a pale imitation of those albums.The songwriting is weak and the arrangements are often saccharine and overbearing. I can honestly say that I enjoy "Landing on Water", "Arc" and "Are You Passionate?" much more than this album. At least LOW had "Hippie Dream", Arc took guts and AYP? had a great guitar tone. Prairie Wind just mocks all the good work Neil did wiith an acoustic guitar.If you are a collector it is a must but if you like good Neil Young music pass on this one and get the other acoustic albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
