I just don't see the point of Americana.


You clearly haven't played it loud enough then....

 Grin But why would I do that David?

Why would I play Americana loud when I could be playing Rust Never Sleeps or Ragged Glory or Live At The Fillmore East at the same volume?

I guess it depends how you define essential. With Americana I just knew I would never listen to it. That puts it in the exclusive company of La Noise & Ev'rybody's Rockin'. Even they have one track each that I like, as does Landing On Water. I just don't see the point of Americana.


I haven't even played my copies of Le Noise or Americana yet.  That's how underwhelmed by Neil I've been of late.   Sad

You're taking it much too seriously.  As far as I can see, it's a bit of fun which got the Horse all singing from the same page again.  And it really does sound great loud...  Great driving music.

Not at all. It is just never gonna rise to the top of the heap when I think, "What shall I listen to today?" Even in the car. Fork In The Road will do that job just as well.  Wink

"Americana" has grown on me: yes there are some clunkers (Get A Job), but the band sound like they are having fun and it makes for good car music.  Will report after the NY & CH show here in November: busy 2 months for the oldies here: NY, Brooce, Sir Paul, Steve Winwood, Leonard Cohen, Dylan/Knopfler for starters..

Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Psychedelic Pill is released in October and it will consist of two CDs and some VERY long songs.



Reports suggests that at least two of the tracks stretch through 20 minutes and the album was recorded straight after the band's other album this year, Americana, was finished.


According to Young's website the album will be released as 2CD, triple vinyl and digital editions as well as "a recommended high resolution 24/192 full fidelity version on Blu-ray which will include all the videos".


‘Psychedelic Pill’ Track Listing


Disc 1


1. ‘Driftin Back’
2. ‘Psychedelic Pill’
3. ‘Ramada Inn’
4. ‘Born In Ontario’


Disc 2


1. ‘Twisted Road’
2. ‘She’s Always Dancing’
3. ‘For The Love Of Man’
4. ‘Walk Like A Giant’
5. ‘Psychedelic Pill’ (Bonus Track Alternate Mix)

Like I said, I like it.  Best Neil cover in an age.  I know that's not saying much, mind you.   Wink

I see that Neil is fanning the flames in the, 'to illegally share files or not' debate.    Haha.   Lips Sealed

'Fanning the flames' or 'expressing his opinion'?  I'll go with the latter...
