Young Has NEVER Sounded Better on Any Format
Neil Young sought a fresh start after breaking in 1968 from Buffalo Springfield, the group that he anchored with inimitable guitar playing and increasingly adventurous songwriting. Released in early 1969, the Canadian legend’s self-titled debut is a grand statement of purpose, both a declaration of staunch independence and a mature announcement that Young would be a force to be reckoned with on his own and on his own terms. Seldom has an initial album so successfully encompassed and foretold greatness.
Produced by Young and longtime associate David Briggs, and featuring additional production and arrangements from Jack Nitzsche, Neil Young weaves the artist’s past, present, and future into its songs. Traces of the vocalist’s acoustic country and folk roots (“The Old Laughing Lady”), glimpses into his harder-rocking efforts with Crazy Horse (“The Loner”) and surrealist excursions that borrow from Bob Dylan (“The Last Trip to Tulsa”).
Through it all, Young retains a remarkable consistency and focus as he shifts between melancholic and joyful moods, tinkers with tones, and changes up tempos with an assortment of pianos, guitars, organs, and lush strings. A cinematic quality washes over the music, convincing listeners that what they are hearing is indeed a body of work that's of tremendous scope and vision.
Having languished for decades, this masterwork has finally received the long-overdue sonic treatment it’s needed. Remastered from the original analog tapes by Chris Bellman, overseen by the artist himself, and pressed at Pallas in Germany, Neil Young now sounds better than ever. Young has never sounded so immediate, detailed, rich, or present on a studio album.
The record joins 1969’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, 1970’s After the Gold Rush, and 1972's Harvest as part of the initial batch of Young recordings pristinely remastered from the original tapes, pressed on high-quality audiophile-grade LP, and packaged in Stoughton paper-wrapped gatefold sleeves that faithfully mirror those of the originals. |
