Oh Neil Young...where do I begin? I've listened to Neil since I was a baby - in fact, I recently looked in my baby book and at three-six months, my mother recorded that my favorite album at the time was "After the Goldrush." I still love that album.His music always moves me...and those close to me - the first time I played 1972's "Harvest" for my wife, she was blown away - she never heard the album before until then. My father of course is the one who turned me onto him when I was very little. My daughters are just starting to uncover his music.
Anyway, one of my favorite Neil Young songs, "Deep Forbidden Lake," is a slow gem from his unreleased album "Homegrown," which was supposed to be sort of a sequel to "Harvest." The song itself was too good to shelve, so it was released as part of a greatest hits album in the late seventies. It's Neil at his early 1970's finest - acoustic and sublime. I could listen to the steel pedal guitar all day...
Close your eyes and listen:

ReplyDeleteSuch much meaning, consider the words? Tell me what you believe.
Not so much the song for me, but, like For The Turnstiles, the performance. Yes, a gem. Ah, Ben. Neil was lucky finding that man.
