[CRAZY-HORSE]

NEIL YOUNG "on the beach" 1974. #16 US, #42 UK, #34 AU

listening to this on my ipod...first time since i did the Beginners guide thing...
still sounds bloody good with every passing listen and year IMO...
"walk on", the lead single off this one is another lighthearted jab at the southern states for venting their anger out on him over his "southern man" track on "after the goldrush", allbeit with a blues tune."ambulance blues" is young hitting back at the media for criticising his previous two tours. "revolution blues" is his take on the whole Manson Family from his perspective via his visits to see Manson in the late 1960s. "motion pictures" is a song for his soon to be ex-girlfriend Carrie Snogress, the other tracks are purely him performing self therapy on the previous 18 months of his turbulant life. the pick of the tracks here is the brilliant "for the turnstiles",again, all tracks here were recorded in one take in the studio.
Neil Young at his finest with this deep,dark, beautiful album!
