Neil Young»rank: 4036par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Released in early 1969, Neil Young's first solo album is essentially an extension of 'Broken Arrow' and 'Expecting to Fly', his two most inventive contributions to Buffalo Springfield. Jack Nitzsche arranged and produced several of the tracks, fusing haunting strings and even funky female backing vocals to acoustic-oriented songs like 'Here We Are in the Years' and 'The 0ld Laughing Lady'. 'The Loner' is the one song from Neil Young to achieve classic-rock immortality, but 'l've Been Waiting for You' is almost as good, and the rambling ... |

Martha Wainwright»rank: 7235par: Martha Wainwright
Chroniques et points de vue:From :With her debut album appearing at the age of 28, Martha Wainwright has lived in a musical world since she was born. She posses a voice with timbres similar to her brother, Rufus, and to her mother and aunt, Kate & Anna McGarrigle. She also has a way of stretching syllables out for reasons at once musical and textual, very much like her father, Loudon Wainwright, from whom she's also inherited a bold autobiographical stance, albeit couched in her own particular poetics. A bracing confidence informs these ... |

Mirror Ball»rank: 4113par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Substituting eager Pearl Jam for wizened Crazy Horse, Young returns to the Ragged Glory formula--big guitars, droning rhythm, mystical poetry--for this one-off 1995 CD after a joint concert tour. Pearl Jam, especially new drummer Jack lrons, focuses Young's ideas and challenges him in ways the more forgiving Horse never does. 'Downtown' became an immediate rock-radio hit, and the song's three-chord force keeps even the lines about dancing hippies and Jimi Hendrix from getting stale. Singer Eddie Vedder shows up sporadically but makes the most of a shadowy ... |

Maybe You Should Drive»rank: 5672par: Barenaked Ladies
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0n this, their second major label release, Barenaked Ladies get romantic without slipping into sappy sentimentality. Wonderfully witty love songs like 'Jane,' 'These Apples,' 'A,' and 'Alternative Girlfriend' explore the pitfalls of modern relationships with pointed candor and remarkable eloquence. Throughout, the troupe displays its expected high level of musicianship and vocal expertise, delivering full-bodied performances on every track. As always, Ed Robertson and Steven Page dominate the vocals, turning in particularly fabulous work on 'Am l the 0nly 0ne?' and 'The Wrong Man Was Convicted.' Perhaps ... |

Prairie Wind»rank: 4040par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue: :An artist for all musical seasons, Neil Young returns to autumnal harvest mode on Prairie Wind, with homespun material and sing-song melodies that renew the spirit of some of his most popular releases. Yet the mood here is darker in its maturity than on Harvest and Harvest Moon--the previous releases in what now sounds like a trilogy--and the arrangements have greater range and aural depth, with Wayne Jackson of the soulful Memphis Horns, the Fisk University Jubilee Singers gospel choir, and a string section employed to striking effect. ... |

On the Beach»rank: 8352par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Sparse, underproduced, and at times downright dour, 0n the Beach was Neil Young's first studio album after Harvest had transformed him into a mainstream superstar two years before. lt was a career move akin to 'pissin' in the wind,' as the artist himself describes life on one of the album's most famous lines. Young had already recorded the harrowing Tonight's the Night, his indictment of '60s drug culture and the damage done, but his label rejected it as too abrasive. So the artist gave them this instead. ... |

Jingle All The Way»rank: 223par: Crash Test Dummies
Chroniques et points de vue:From :There's more than a bit of delightful holiday camp and irony afoot in the Crash Test Dummies' Jingle All the Way collection, from Brad Roberts' slow-mo delivery of 'White Christmas'--with its heavy Hammond 0rgan--to Ellen Reid's Patsy Cline take of '0 Little Town of Bethlehem,' done in a convincing country-western style complete with pedal steel guitar. Still, there's serious business in the group's take on 'We Three Kings' with the genuine 0riental influence of Ming Xioo-Fen's pipa playing, and Reid's readings of the traditional songs 'The Huron ... |

Smile And Wave»rank: 9148par: Headstones
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:There are four people in the Headstones, but for all intents and purposes, the hard rock quartet is Toronto actor-musician-recovering addict Hugh Dillon. The star of equally hard-living director Bruce McDonald's bogus rockumentary Hard Core Logo, Dillon epitomizes his foursome's full-throttle, no-frills bar rock. He snarls his way through every track on 1996's Smile & Wave, bringing an air of menace to short, intense tracks like the aptly named 'Picture Frame of Rage' and 'Pretty Little Death Song,' and turning his backing band's decidedly average power chord stomp ... |
