Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
After laboring in
Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called "perfect"--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what "We've got mother nature on the run" means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, "Southern Man" still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members of Crazy Horse, transforms ramshackle country and folk songs into soulful hippie hymns. --Steve Knopper

5 out of 5 stars Classic Album By Neil Young!, July 17, 2002

Top 10 Reviewer Reviewer: Barron Laycock (Labradorman) (see more about me) from Temple, NH USA
In the shadow of his crushing success with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Neil Young released this solo album using some of his best studio friends to produce a landmark album that was a runaway best seller at about the same time as CSN& Y's "Déjà Vu" was dominating the charts. There are a lot of memorable songs included in this album, all written by Young, and Neil's trademark guitar twang is audible everywhere. Also quite evident is his strange, eerie voice, which would be almost laughable were it not so memorable and also so effective a vehicle for his music. It drifts out at you like an echo in an alley, invading your private spaces as much as entertaining you.

The album opens with "Tell Me Why", a plaintive ballad delivered in a mostly acoustical format. Next is "After The Goldrush", a dreamy, sometimes nightmarish reflection on the state of the country at the turn of the seventies. Also included are ""only Love Can Break Your Heart", a long and rocking version of his famous "Southern Man" effort, including the afterward of "Till The Morning Comes". He does a terrific cover of Don Gibson's classic country song "Oh, Lonesome Me", and depresses us all with "Don't Let It Bring You Down". I simply love his song "Birds", and also like the rock treatment of "When You Dance". Finally, he delivers what has become a standard folk-rock ballad, "I Believe In You", which with "Cripple Creek Ferry" rounds out the album. This is a classic Neil Young effort, and like his work with Crazy Horse, is essential for any serious sixties rock fan. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Rush out and buy it, January 17, 2002
Reviewer: A music fan from Dublin Ireland
This was Neil Youngs third solo album although whether you can call it a true solo album when you have Crazy Horse backing you is open to debate. And i welcome fellow future reviewers to debate this minor point. Anyway it isnt important. What is important is the music. nils lofgren plays on this album. Of the 11 tracks on this 10 are neil compositions, the other one is a cover of don gibsons Oh lonesome me. I dont know the original but this is a good if sad song. The standout tracks of a generally very good album are the title track and Southern Man which prompted a response from Lynyrd Skynnyrd with SWeet Home Alabama. They thaught Neil was slagging the south. Either way it is a class number. Is this a better album then Harvest. Well Harverst was more successful commercially but i think this is a better album and in my humble opinion is his best early album along with Deja Vu released the same year as this one with Crosby,Stills and Nash and Zuma from 1975. This is a class album and a great introduction to the legend that is Neil Young.
I got this album after i heard a reference made to it in a film. Cate blanchette thaught billy bob thorntons character looked like neil young from his After the Gold Rush album. I was intrigued enough to go out and check it out. I am glad i did and glad i saw that film. Neil young is a legend and this album, Harvest, Zuma and Tonights the night will tell you why.

5 out of 5 stars A MASTERPIECE, February 26, 2003
Reviewer: A 12-year old music fan
I first heard the song "After the Goldrush" on the radio a few times and was blown away. I had no idea who it was by or even the title of the song. The lyrics were nothing i had ever heard of before and the simplicity of the tune that makes the song great were so mystical that i wondered who the hell did such a feat as this. It took about a year to find the artist and i still coudn't believe it was Young on that piano. No one I new listened to him so it was hard. Anyhoo, this is one of the best "old cds" out there and shouldn't be hidden in a sea of music at the mall. Find it, buy it, hook line and sinker! An excellent drinking album as well!!...

5 out of 5 stars Neil's Best!, February 16, 2003
Reviewer: john parry from Los Angeles CA
Wow! What an album. After hearing my buddy's play their version of "When you dance...", I couldn't get the song out of my head.
So, I had to get the album, Great song! I only had "Decade" and CSNY's "So Far" as far as Neil stuff goes, Oh and Harvest Moon.
Anyhow, now I'm on the search for all the best Neil, Stills, CSNY etc... really good stuff!
