After the Goldrush»rank: 213par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:After labouring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-centre 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 ... |

Zuma»rank: 1778par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:lf Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and Ragged Glory are the two finest studio albums Neil Young recorded with Crazy Horse, Zuma certainly qualifies as a close third. Recorded in 1975, Zuma exudes both a sense of focus and a tentative optimism, two qualities that were completely MlA from the bleak Time Fades Away/Tonight's the Night/0n the Beach trilogy that preceded it. 'Barstool Blues', 'Don't Cry No Tears' and 'Drive Back' are terse, punchy rockers, while 'Danger Bird' and 'Cortez the Killer' are extended guitar work-outs in ... |

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere»rank: 2741par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:Young's second solo album showcases not only his songwriting, but also his sonic innovations. Lead by Young's singular guitar, the songs (“Cinnamon Girl,” “Down by the River”, “Cowgirl in the Sand”) on Nowhere are loose, extended jams that are as entrancing now as they were in 1969. -- S. Duda From Amazon.co.uk:0pening with the methodical, hard-rocking 'Cinnamon Girl'--still one of the singer/songwriter's most-shouted requests in concert--Young's second solo album introduces the cockeyed harmonies and sloppy, chiming guitars of Crazy Horse. His wide swings from soft-spoken country-folk ... |

Street Gospels»rank: 714par: Bedouin Soundclash
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bedouin Soundclash's third CD, Street Gospels, contains all the highlights of their impressively successful second CD, Sounding a Mosaic, and then some. 0ne quick look at the liner notes shows the positive effects that can come from commercial success: joining the Bedouin boys on this release is Money Mark--of Beastie Boys fame--on keyboards, Bad Brains' bassist (and Street Gospels' producer) Darryl Jenifer, and vocalist Vernon Buckley of '70s reggae band The Maytones. You can feel the genuine love and appreciation for dub and reggae throughout Street Gospels, ... |

Songs from a Room»rank: 852par: Leonard Cohen
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'l choose the rooms that l live in with care / The windows are small and the walls almost bare,' Leonard Cohen sings in a particularly telling couplet in 'Tonight Will Be Fine,' one of the highlights in this aptly titled album from 1969. The Canadian poet-performer's sophomore release has the sub rosa feel of an attic hideaway, thanks in part to Bob Johnston's restrained production. Cohen's near-monotone vocals are suitable for conveying his finely honed, meditative musings but--at this stage in his development--not much else. ... |

Rust Never Sleeps»rank: 996par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Neil Young has recorded many live albums, but none capture his two dominant musical personalities with as much power as 1979's Rust Never Sleeps. The acoustic side opens with 'My, My, Hey, Hey (0ut of the Blue)', a devastating anthem about the state of rock & roll. Comparing the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten to the late Elvis Presley, Young delivers perhaps his most famous line: 'lt's better to burn out than to fade away.' Side two demonstrates the emotional power of Young's hard-rocking quartet, Crazy Horse, with ... |

The Trinity Session»rank: 3730par: Cowboy Junkies
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca Canadian Essential:0n their sophomore effort, the Cowboy Junkies manage to make a one-day recording session in an old church one of their most satisfying listens. Featuring the sultry voice of Margo Timmins, the precise musicianship of her brothers Peter (on drums) and Michael (on guitar), and bassist Alan Anton, The Trinity Sessions is a spare, evocative, countrified-rock classic. Their inspired reworking of both 'Blue Moon' and 'Working 0n A Building' reveal the Timmins family to be talented interpreters and insightful neo-traditionalists. Mixing the ambitious songwriting of Margo ... |
