Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Rust Never Sleeps
Reprise / Warner 1978
One of the most popular and influential albums of Canadian genius, now again few years ago because Kurt Cobain used a phrase "hey hey, my my (out of the blue) in his suicide note.
Most songs are recorded live, though not considered a direct and as having one side with acoustic tracks and one with electrical issues with Crazy Horse.
Among the highlights acoustic songs "trash" with that enigmatic and beautiful lyrics: "When I headed out to the pavement turns to sand, with a one way ticket to the land of truth, and my suitcase in my hand, how I lost my friends, I still do not understand. "
"Hey hey, my my" shakes, a stark simplicity, disarms the listener with his lines, once you leave, you can not go.
The electric side begins with one of the best tracks from Young, "Powderfinger," the essence of his talent, his voice brittle, endless guitar solos and again a letter enigmatic and moving, the loss of innocence, pain and blood.
"Welfare Mothers" and "sedan delivery" Crazy Horse show in full swing, demonstrating a robust and seamless sound.
The album ends with the electric version of "hey hey, my my", putting a definitive counterpoint to the hard power.
"Rust Never Sleeps" was followed by an extensive tour of Crazy Horse and a live album "Live Rust." The Canadian proved to be above fads and entered the 80s with still many things to say.
Simply amazing!
