Neil Young "Americana" - 2012 LP
Monday, June 4, 2012 at 01:39AM I don't remember kindergarten.....Is that bad?....Honestly, my memory is so facked.....No doubt we sang "Ring Around the Rosie..." and played duck duck goose......I think I gave out too many hugs in college.....or even high school......I DO know that my kindergarten teacher later became my psychologist....in a very extremely/ironic twist of fate (that isn't a joke).....So as I prop my feet up on my kindergarten teacher's cOUch and recount my childhood (which i have little recollection).....some experiences and mammories are coming back to mind......The same thing happened to Neil Young.....Except he went even farther back in time.....He has revisited songs that were written on trains.....on back porches....Songs even Woody Guthrie wish he wrote (well, he wrote one on here).....What can you say about Neil Young at this point?....What is the next step beyond legend?.....Is he God?.....He very well could be.....I would not be the least bit surprised.....So, as Neil Young recounts americana classics such as "This Land Is Your Land" he brings back Crazy Horse and their unique blend of grunge/psychodelic/lo-fi/fuzzed out brilliance.....Neil Young invented grunge and with "Americana" he re-invents a handful of American classics.......so good:
