the great albums (xii) - after the goldrush

He's already figured here - and I passed over the opportunity to make this selection at that time - but I just cannot avoid another Neil Young album: the absolutely-essential After The Goldrush.


Everything that needs to be said about this has probably been said elsewhere - lyrical, joyous, angry, confused, sad and relentless. It may stand as his greatest ever work.

    Well I thought this was one of the best, and it's almost as though I had heard these songs before (which I may have).

    Definitely one I will be coming back to.

    Wow, I'm really glad you liked it. Did his voice grow on you at all?
