The Loner

Yes, there was indeed a Neil Young before After the Goldrush and Harvest! Although the plain Neil Young titled debut from 1969 remained rather unnoticed and the successor Everybody knows this is nowhere sounds a lot more with Crazy Horse for the same year after the later Young sound, so the debut is remarkable in many ways! With The Emperor Of Wyoming and String Quartet from Whiskey Boot Hill (the song title is almost longer than the song!) Made it two instrumentals on the only good 32-minute album. Although Young's first single The Sultan was also an instrumental song, should practically only follow later songs with text. The soundtrack to Dead Man and the experimental work of Arc stayed far the exceptions.
I've been waiting for you to start as Cinnamon Girl, but has not its class. In general, the songs on this album firstonce rather disappointing, apart from the three below genann ducks Anspieltipps times. But as Johnny Rogan stated very correctly, Neil Young is a unique album in Youngs oeuvre. Very rewarding music! Rocked is not yet here. It sounds even after the 60s (very different from Everybody knows). The preference of Jack Nitzsche for elaborate arrangements were also used. The album is the transition from Buffalo Springfield Later Godfather of Grunge. Shy, reserved and very gently raises the Canadians on here. Handwritten lyrics and one of the few covers on the Youngs face in the foreground.
