Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com essential recording
After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called "perfect"--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what "We've got mother nature on the run" means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, "Southern Man" still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members of Crazy Horse, transforms ramshackle country and folk songs into soulful hippie hymns. I--Steve Knopper/I

Simply Great December 17, 2008
I've been a Neil Young fan since the day I first heard one of his songs, and this is one of the best records he's ever done. But I'm a fan of just about everything he's put out so...br /br /Anyway in my opinion this is one of his very best

"Masterpiece" is an understatement. October 22, 2008
This album always puts me in a state of hypnosis in which I become absorbed by it, unaware of anything else around me. I can't listen to it while I'm driving, It's just that good. Same goes for "On the Beach".br /br /

Great headphone album-made me discover a mono track July 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is still one of my favorite albums of all time, and I just discovered how good it sounds in headphones (great stereo spread), however I am listening to Oh lonesome me, and it is in mono-I think I remember that from when I had it on LP. Anyway, I don't think old Neil did any better than here. The songs are all great, and his voice is in perfect shape!

WHEN ROCKERS BECOME SONG-WRITERS... June 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

So, what happened here I think, was that Neil broke his leg or something, and had a release deadline to keep, and he couldn't pick up the electric guitar that he had weilded so flawlessly on his previous release. SO, instead he decided to hit the piano, and focus more on his softer side, initiating a creative flood for softer material, and hence, coming up with a songwriters treasure trove of an album. AFTER THE GOLD RUSH seems to be the favorite for anyone in the singer/songwriter circuit, and well it should be. The range of style on this thing is wide, but subtle. His most covered material can be found here, ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART, BIRDS, DONT LET IT BRING YOU DOWN. Sure he hits the threshold of dismal here (even for Neil) with songs like the title track and OH LONESOME ME; but he also lets loose once or twice with songs like WHEN YOU DANCE and the silly but cool CRIPPLE CREEK FERRY. Personally I always dug TILL THE MORNING COMES. Its like a minute and a half long, but it says all it needs to say. "I'm gonna give you till the morning comes, till the morning comes. I'm only waiting till the morning comes." And that about says it. Neil somehow manages to shred one through the amplifier with the intense SOUTHERN MAN, and a pair of others stand well also. To make this story short; every song here is an example of quality, and I doubt there is a singer/songwriter around that would disagree. SO, it doesn't rock out like, say, one of the Crazy Horse albums; but it definately deserves repeated listens, and has even caused me to flip the volume up more than once. Classic.

JAPAN REMASTERED VERSION AVAILABLE June 18, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

br /A while back, Warner Brothers Japan re-released 12 Neil Young titles. The surprise was that remastered content appeared for the first time on most of them.br /br /The titles WB-Japan catalog numbers are: br /br /Neil Young WPCR-75086 br /Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere WPCR-75087 br /After The Gold Rush WPCR-75088 br /Harvest WPCR-75089 br /On The Beach WPCR-75090 br /Tonight's The Night WPCR-75091 br /Zuma WPCR-75092 br /Long May You Run WPCR-75093br /American Stars n' Bars WPCR-75094br /Comes A Time WPCR-75095br /Rust Never Sleeps WPCR-75096br /Live Rust WPCR-75097br /br /I picked up most of these, A/B'd them, and found them to be superior to the domestics. However, having purchased the domestic 2002 remasters of "Beach" and "Stars n Bars", I declined the Japan versions of those two titles.br /br /Unfortunately, while the Japan version is remastered, Live Rust is not restored to the original LP's running form, and remains still the bastardized version.br /br /If you own the U.S. versions, and you're a NY fan, I would seriously consider replacing them with these.
