Product Description
An artist for all musical seasons, Neil Young returns to autumnal harvest mode on Prairie Wind, with homespun material and sing-song melodies that renew the spirit of some of his most popular releases. Yet the mood here is darker in it's maturity than on Harvest and Harvest Moon-the previous releases in what now sounds like a trilogy-and the arrangements have greater range and aural depth, with Wayne Jackson of the soulful Memphis Horns, the Fisk University Jubilee Singers gospel choir, and a string section employed to striking effect. This is a song cycle of dreams, memories, family ties, and the passage of time-what is lost and what endures. The elliptical, epic 'No Wonder', with it's evocation of 9/11, ranks with the most ambitious songs of Young's career, while 'Falling Off the Face of the Earth', 'It's a Dream', and the bluesy title cut combine childlike innocence with unsettling experience. Spooner Oldham's church keyboards and co-producer Ben Keith's steel guitar reinforce the sound's sturdy simplicity. Young has released a lot of albums in different musical styles, but Prairie Wind feels like a homecoming, and ranks with his very best. Reprise. 2005.

Before I bought this album, I have been buying some of the earlier Neil Young albums, most especially "After the Gold Rush." After being a fan in the 1960s and 1970s, now I hear him and say--wow! This is a brilliant artist that I can really identify with! In fact, this is my favorite guy! I saw the Jonathan Demme movie "Heart of Gold" about Young's performance of Prairie Wind in Nashville, and it was great; loved to see the band in concert; bought the album. The tracks I personally like best are "Far from Home" for being a rollicking song and "It's a Dream" for making me want to cry.
This led me to reflect on what it is that I like so much about Neil Young. Before, I always liked him, but when "After the Gold Rush" exploded off the stereo into my consciousness several months ago after buying the old CD, his work has captivated me, much more so that before. Why? I'm 52 years old now, and I think there is such a thing as the "lonely bull" persona in which a guy feels on his own, in charge of his own life, which has good points (happy and fast-moving songs)and bad (makes for the sad songs). Neil Young songs are prime examples of that. Frank Sinatra had that appeal (although he's way before my time; my Dad loves him), which may account for why he was so popular. Same for Tony Bennett, whom I really like. Neil Young's songs, in 2006, put me in moods that I want to be in, and the core is his particular spirit, whatever that is. You want to tap into it. The emotional landscape there is attractive, whether happy or sad. The voice, the spare arrangements, but most of all the writing take you there.
In terms of emotional power, to me, only John Lennon the solo artist is on a par with Neil Young. Now, I'm the biggest Beatles fan in the world, really loved all of their stuff, and loved Lennon's solo work. But Neil Young goes to some of the same places, and hits similar heights. For example, Lennon's song "Mother" (I think that's it's name) also makes me want to cry and I almost can't listen to it. Similar effect on me, although much mellower, for "It's a Dream" on Prairie Wind. To me, that is emotional power. Few artists have it.
Women often seem to wonder where men's emotions are. I say, they are found in good music.
Prairie Wind is another in a long line of great Neil country rock albums. It isn't Harvest or Harvest Moon, but it is of a piece with these, as it is with Comes a Time and Silver and Gold. Here Young is confronting mortality, and if he sounds older, well, that's because he is.
Personally I don't think the Elvis nod is goofy at all; not from the guy who famously invoked Johnny Rotten. Neil has always been a complex and confoundng artist; that's why he has enjoyed such longevity. His work has been hit or miss this decade (Greendale a major hit; Are You Passionate, not so much.) But Prairie Wind is a bullseye. If you've been enjoying a running dialogue with the guy from After the Goldrush, Harvest, Comes a Time, Hawks and Doves, Harvest Moon, and Silver and Gold, he's back. Different, but the same.
"Bury me out on the Prairie
Where the Buffalo used to roam
You won't have to shed a tear for me
Cause then I won't be far from home"
Then you have the DVD, the DVD is great. As a recording musician myself, I love to see what Neil does in the studio to actually complete a recording like this. Buying this Prairie Wind, and then opening it up and seeing the DVD is like buying a BMW and opening the glovebox and finding a check for $100,000. The DVD is the real jewel of the two!!

Die zugehörige Live-DVD mit dem etwas irreführenden Namen 'Heart of Gold' dokumentiert zur Veröffentlichung des Albums ein tolles Live-Konzert im Ray an-Theatre in Nashville mit allen Prairie Wind-Songs und einer Mischung aus Harvest, Harvest Moon und einigen anderen Hits. Sehr zu empfehlen!
