Description

As far as pure songcraft goes, it's hard to beat this 1979 offering from Young and Crazy Horse. By the end of the '90s, Young, Talbot, Molina and Sampredo had refined their crushing sonic assault to the extent that they could bludgeon the listener with Wagnerian riffs and rhythms (the entropy hymn "Hey Hey, My My") or provide just enough grit to keep Young's far-out lyrics from ascending into the stratosphere ("Ride My Llama.") Songwise, RUST is a schizophrenic album. Young moves from the brilliant surrealist imagery of "Pocahontas," with its evocation of "Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me," to the sharp narrative perspective of the equally transcendent "Powderfinger" and the good-humored social commentary of "Welfare Mothers."

Press Reviews

Half-acoustic, half electric, the tracks ranged from beautifully affecting to menacing... Mojo (11/01, p.151)

Included in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever Q (1/03, p.64)

4 Stars - Excellent - "...it flows, it's got a couple of his strongest issue songs in 'Pocahontas' and 'Powderfinger,' and it's even rather good-humored... Q (8/93, p.107)

    Comments about WARNER Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps:

    Superb live album from Neil Young at the peak of his songwriting and performing powers. Consistently brilliant from start to finish, and includes classic songs not available on studio albums such as Powderfinger and Thrasher. This is an essential Neil Young purchase, and every home should have one.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
