Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Barn

In the same room

 

Cool. Thanks for the reply. Let’s hope it’s a good one……

 

Hey, I agree with everything you said, although these days, it's entirely possible that RITFW has surpassed Ohio in the minds of many. It's quite popular and has universal appeal. Ohio is certainly one of the most impactful songs of the rock era and I loved the guitar work and vocals before I could even realize that the lyrics were the key! I was five years old when I heard my older brother blaring it through the speakers.

In no way was I trying to minimize the impact of these two great songs. I was just saying that they are easily identifiable to specific times based on clearly topical references when they were written. They are "dated" to the times they were written, but yes, they are universal in their impact and relevance.

Any idea what extra is in the deluxe edition?

 

Thanks

 

While I agree with you about Frank, Nils was a member of Crazy Horse long before he was. Makes an important contribution to the ST album.

 

...and Tonight's the Night, After the Goldrush, and Trans, as Neil mentioned yesterday in the zoom call (and of course, Colorado!).

CH wasn't the same without Danny Whitten. And it's not the same without Poncho. And those eras aren't the same as the Nils era. The Horse is different but it's still the Horse.

 

Yes, I know all about Nils' history, and I'm certainly not calling into question his competence. I was too young to see Crazy Horse with Lofgren and Whitten. My personal experience with Crazy Horse is with Poncho, Talbot and Molina from the Rust 1978 tour on, so that's the band I knew and loved.

 

Been looking forward to this over the last few days....and its a definite 2 thumbs up from me anyway, roll on the album

 

Just listened to the new song above and I like it, but I don't love it. I think the vibe and 'feel' of the song is fantastic - it has a mellow, relaxed 'summer evening' sound, and that harmonica is gorgeous. However, like so many Neil Young songs it somewhat outstays it's welcome (it's probably double the length it ought to be) which makes it sound like it kind of rambles on with little to no change. Having said that, if this is a taster of what's to come, then this might be the first Neil Young album I purchase since 'Psychedelic Pill'.

 

Apart from Crosby.....who does it better.

 

Just had a listen or 3. It's a nice song with a kinda relaxed vibe. I guess the album will continue in the same spirit as Colorado. A more eclectic, diverse album with a more rich instrumentation in the style of ATGR, TTN, Freedom etc. with the Horse galloping in a different direction.

I guess I shouldn't be expecting anything rocking à la Psych Pill or Ragged Glory anymore. But that's completely OK. I'm happy Mr. Young is still giving us music at almost 76 years of age.

 

So, just for us Europeans, that is 10th December, right?

 

This reminds me of Storytone Solo, which I unexpectedly enjoyed, only without the solo. I'd need to listen to Barn on Spotty before committing.

 

I almost wish he’d stop making mediocre new albums just so Crosby fans couldn’t say “Crosby’s made the best music lately. Better than Neil!”

 

Crosby's always made the better music.

 

yes.

the other option would be october 12, and that was tuesday.

 

rubbish.

 

Och! You're just being a wee contrarian, laddy!

 

Oh man, I respectfully disagree with this so hard I don't even have the words!

For me, if Crosby is an inch then Neil is a mile.

 

I'll echo the thoughts on Poncho. He is missed.

I like the song posted above. Colorado and Homegrown didn't do much for me, but I want to hear more of this.
