Comments for Young, Neil, Unplugged

Not by far a complete record of Neil's recording career, but a fine choice for a first time listener. Neil takes some of the new with some of the old - wholly reworked in some cases - and some of the previously unreleased. A great place to start if you're just finding Neil for the first time, and a fine place to look back if you've known him a while.

Avery laid back and unsurprising album, this is possibly the least interesting and unchallenging album of Neil's career. Avoid it unless you just loved Harvest Moon, since there is a healthy portion of that album on this one. The only worthwile songs are Transformer Man and the Old Laughing Lady.

album un peu mou ....il sentirait presque la commande: on ne peut comparer les versions de 'Like a hurricane ' sur l ' unplugged et weld par exemple ...en revanche le tour d' horizon des styles de Neil est bon Bilan : à faire découvrir aux non-initiés mais pas aux mordus

Although under the spell of "Big Brother" MTV, Young probably does the best show of the entire Unplugged-series. This show captures Young with some interesting renditions of oldtimers (especially Like a hurricane and Mr. Soul), mediocre versions of Helpless and Unknown Legend but absolutely beautiful versions of Harvest Moon and Pocahontas. Altogether a good album.

Although I have been a fan for over 15 years (I''m 32), this album is by far one of his best. At each stage and age of my life, I can listen to a song or an album and FEEL like someone understands. (It also reminds me of my youth and times of my life that I tend to reflect on from time to time.) His music and lyrics paints a portrait...a true artist!
