Neil Young - Decade .jpg) .gif) By Steve Knopper
The first stop for anybody new to Neil Young's music, this 34-song set
(originally released in 1977) traces his growth from Buffalo Springfield
and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to Crazy Horse to his Harvest
band, the Stray Gators. The album defined Young to rock radio the way Hot
Rocks determined which Rolling Stones songs would become classics, but
this is more than a quickie greatest-hits collection. Rarities and
hits--Springfield's "Mr. Soul," CSNY's "Ohio," and
Young's "Cinnamon Girl," "Heart of Gold," and the
closing "Long May You Run"--develop in thematic and
chronological patterns.

"I agree. I've followed Neil since 1969 when I first heard him on the strip in Hollywood. "Decade" is more than just a greatest hits anthology because it contains the high points of his creative work, not neccessarily his commercial work. The liner notes reveal a great deal about his thought process as well as the value system that spawned so many of these songs. His notes on "Ohio" are especially revealing in that thay show how much he has grown and matured both as a man and as an artist." --R J Talley |
