Neil Young - After The Gold Rush (50th Anniversary) UHD (2020 - Rock) [Flac 24-96]
We are unsure what to applaud here – the fact that Neil Young has lasted the course without too much (obvious) wear and tear or that, as with many other classic albums, we are familiar with every track. It isn’t often that an album from start to finish make itself known to the population at large but – similar to, for example, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours – After the Gold Rush has seeped into our collective consciousness, song by song.
The key, of course, is simplicity. The likes of Tell Me Why, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Oh, Lonesome Me, Birds, I Believe in You and the title track set a template in the same way that Young’s fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell established with her albums from 1968 to 1974: infectious, intelligent folk-pop perfect for any time of day and night radio play. The difference, of course, is that Young subsequently took a decidedly different route to creative fulfilment.
