From Hank to Hendrix Given Neil Young's huge catalog and its inclusion of so much acoustic material, you might think that 'unplugging' him would just amount to his doing a show of his acoustic songs. Well, that certainly would have been the easy way. But if Neil took the easy way, he wouldn't be the Neil we've come to know and love. In fact, although there is a generous helping of material on this CD that was originally released in 'acoustic' form, there are also a number of surprises. For this show, Neil took several highly non-'acoustic' songs and converted them. One of my favorites is his bluesy, wailing version of 'Mr. Soul'. Originally a Buffalo Springfield tune, this time it's just Neil with his guitar and harmonica. I also like the stripped-down, countryfolkified performances of 'Old Laughing Lady' and 'World on a String'. And wait until you hear what he's done with 'Transformer Man'. Even if you didn't like it before, you may like it now. There's also 'Like a Hurricane', a blistering rocker originally released on [U]American Stars 'n' Bars[/U] (which, incidentally, is now available on CD at last!). Here Neil performs it solo, accompanying himself on pump organ. This show took place not long after the release of the magnificent [U]Harvest Moon[/U], so there are a couple of selections from that album. And the rest is what you'd expect -- a set of solid performances of old and new favorites, some well-known and some obscure, from all stages of Neil's long career. 'The Needle and the Damage Done', 'Look Out for My Love', 'Long May You Run' -- this stuff is never going to wear out its welcome. |
