The first album Young 90, Young was back in the saddle, after the difficult years at Geffen Records. Despite the ragged glory he swung himself to his second big heyday on to the triumphs in the 70s. In the nineties, a strong album followed to the next. The now other bands like Guns n 'Roses and Nirvana were dominated rock music the 45-year-old Canadian, and his garage band Crazy Horse not deter easy to carry on. In the video to F *! # In` up he wears a headscarf as Axl Rose and rocks at a pinch just simply too with his guitar on a toilet. In the song he himself raises the question why he, despite all his talent and potential repeatedly messed things probably processing of Geffen-years in which he was not with the heart in the music, but with his long-term care children. In any case, were the 80's for the idealists of the '60s, like Dylan and Young a complicated phase, greedy years with too much bad music. The song Farmer John, a classic from Youngs youth, sounds something disreputable as he is meant the 45-year-old Young does not want to go out with the farmer's daughter, yes, he indulges only slightly in memories and presents one of the best songs on the album. The environmental anthem Mother Earth is right and proper content, it was also played during the 2008 tour from him live, musically and lyrically this is not very convincing.
The song Do not spook the horse is not included on the album, but on the Single Mansion on the Hill, and describes the new relationship of Young to his stepmother treated in previous band with humor and respect. Who wrote the song, the album does not need, Young said at the time in an interview. The course is not true because Ragged Glory is another Young's album not to be missed! On the double album Weld the pieces from Ragged Glory were played live yet convincing and powerful.
Playing tips: F * # in` up, Farmer John, love and only love
