Negative Positive
Title: A solid, raw variety of Young, non-radio, classics
Review: What "Tonight's the Night" lacks in momentum, it gains in variety. This CD doesn't flow like his previous efforts, much less future recordings, but none of his other CDs takes you on an emotional roller coaster like this one. It's sort of the "Disintegration (by The Cure)" of its time, recorded during a dark period of Young's life where the music and lyrics just came out naturally. An effective maniupulater of moods, "Tonight's the Night" is pleasing to the senses - pleading, lazily swanky, and resolved. "Albaqurque, Roll Another Number, and Let's Go Downtown" are great tunes, as is the title song. The mood of this CD was a perfect fit for the mid 70s, and at a time when grunge is well entrenched in the minds of many modern rock artists - if not explicitly displayed - this CD is a great listen. Solid from beginning to end, it's a must add to any size Neil Young collection.
