Title: Could Be Neil's Worst
Review: What happened to the Neil we know and love? The one-man, one-guitar, one-harmonica Neil singing intense yet simple lyrics in that shaky yet appropriate voice? Where is the Neil of After the Gold Rush or Tonight's the Night or even Silver and Gold? Where did all the polish come from and why is it necessary? Does this record HAVE to do well at Wal Mart? This might be Neil's worst album ever. It is over produced, over dubbed and over done in almost every regard and in a way contrary to everything Neil has ever said about his music. There's not an interesting or redeeming song in the entire mix, not a tune worth humming, or a riff worth learning. As unbelievable as it might be, this album may be a sign that Neil is done, out of ideas, and no longer relevant. I am a HUGE Neil Young fan and it hurts me to listen to this record. This is not the Neil we know and love and I do not recommend Prairie Wind to anyone not riding in an elevator.
