Day 676: Neil Young – Ragged Glory
8th Neil Young album.
This is my freaking 8th Neil Young album.
That means .7% of all the best albums of all time according to this book were done by Neil Young.
Considering the fact that I am not a fan of Mr. Young, never have never will be, this has been a slow musical torture of sorts.
This album was fine. All Neil Young is fine. The man though, he just irks me. I think it's his voice. It's got a whiny frustrating quality about it. Every song sounds so similar and I'm sure if I liked the way he sounded, I'd be all over it. But to me he sounds like when your uncle tries to sing at Thanksgiving. He tries so hard and he really puts all his soul into it but it just sounds like a squealing sea lion with guitars in the background.
Overall, this album was alright. There was a lot more guitar/drums than Neil singing which made for a more enjoyable experience. "Farmer John" is a decent rock song and "White Line" is a good country-rock trip song. But, good riddance Neil Young. 3 stars.
