I've been slow to catch on to what all the fuss is with Neil Young. I always thought if the actor Bruce Dern could sing, he would sound like Neil Young. Nevertheless some things are like learning to drink coffee, or learning to make a decent pie pastry, you have to keep trying. I listened to some of his rocking Crazy Horse CDs and still didn't get it. Sometimes as a way to explore, I pick up a pile of used 50-cent cassette tapes and look for the gem in the lot that is worthy in purchase as a CD. In one of these piles I found Neil Young Unplugged. This is the album that made me get Young. Like most Unplugged CDs, this one is a great collection of some of the artist s best work and it is live acoustic. Hearing the collection of his songs in one place, made me understand Young's creativity as a songwriter. That the album is live and acoustic, made me appreciate Young's mastery of his guitar. In most every song, he does something interesting and unique with the guitar. The cut "Like a Hurricane" delighted me with his brave use of pipe organ. I bought two of these CDs on ebay, also one for a friend who was a Young fan from way back.Read full review
great non electric instruments playing. all acoustical. sounds great. really great :-) loved the details. background singers really hit the notes perfectly. and the pump organ was crisp and clear. of course you'd better like harmonica. because somewhere in every song he plays a little harmonica bit in it. but it matches very well with the tone of the music. if you like soothing and well played and written music it's a must buy. listen to the words. you just might learn something.
I have been a fan of his for many years and have several of his LPs. Yes, LPs!! This is a great addition to my collection. Neil Young is at his finest on this unplugged CD. Redoing many of the favorite songs that he has done throughout his career. A must for any fan, even if your are one of the MTV Unplugged Series. Highly and easily recommened.
The Unplugged series of CDs has been a joy to own and play in the multidisc changer, on Random. Neil Youngs' example did not seem to connect with the audience in a magical way like Rod Stewarts & Eric Claptons - to name a few. However, a must-have so Do It !
