What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



This album is titled with the bands name on the cover. If it's good enough for Neil.....Shows as Neils 16th album. Didn't do too well here at #75, nor in the homeland at #42. Didn't know that most of these songs were recorded from two different live concert appearances. This album would be the last of his five with Geffen Records, where he did not have a good relationship. One of Neils worst selling albums, but I can think of many worse. A good mix up here of rockers and ballads, with topics varying as well, politics, love, career. Love four tracks here with one bomb of Too Lonely. Neil's been around long enough to allow a bomb occasionally.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Too Lonely

Best Track - Long Walk Home

If you see Liberty tell her I will
Buy her windows on the hill
Laud her flowers on the sill
Till they grow higher and higher.

If Liberty was a little girl
Watching all the flags unfurl
Standing at the big parade
How would she like us now?

We balance the power
From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.

From Vietnam to old Beirut
If we are searching for the truth
Why do we feel that double-edged blade
Cutting through our hand?

America, America
Where have we gone?
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.

We balance the power
From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.
