Neil Young 1976-1988

[CRAZY-HORSE]

NEIL YOUNG & THE SHOCKING PINKS "everybody's rockin'" 1982...#46 US, #50 UK, #30 AU

again, its hard to tell if this album is genuinely good for being good or just good compared to the last couple of albums.
no, actually NY does do a good job with this Rockabilly album, it actually sounds like he is having fun for the first time in his career instead of being sombre and moody, his cover of "mystery train" is surprisingly good, but the best track here is "wanderin" which first appeared in acoustic form with a slower melody in concerts back in 1970/71ish and now appears on one of his 'archive' release live albums in original form.
thankfully there is nothing horrible on this one but at the same time neither is there anything great and David Geffen is already starting to confront young on his song selection and demanding "harvest pt.2" to be recorded.
again, a definate lack of links to accompany this album!
