Neil Young 1989-1999

[CRAZY-HORSE]

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE "ragged glory" 1990. #31 US, #15 UK, #62 AU

The Horse make a welcome return to form here after their last non existant effort on '87s "life" with fire and gusto.
from the opening notes of the opening track you know you're in for a treat right through to the final track "love and only love". the latter full of trademark Young guitar solos,beautiful melodies and a Pearl Jam sound to boot. the backing vocals on the best track "mansion on the hill" are as good as any ever recorded,Crazy Horse are the best little band on the planet on their day which they are here, however on a bad day they are the worst band in history.
its raw and ragged in all its glory,not a great album but once again showing Neil Young well on the road to musical recovery.
again, some of the tracks date back to the late 1970s for the unreleased "chrome dreams" sessions. this album also has a US top 10 hit on it, making it 5 from the last four albums.
