CD Description
The first thing you hear on this two-disc live album is Young's voice wryly asserting that "It all sounds the same...It's all one song". While this self-effacing assessment of theYoung/Crazy Horse oeuvre echoes the feeling of many critics, on YEAR OF THE HORSE, recorded in several cities during the band's 1996 world tour, nothing could be further from the truth.
Young's caveman-on-acid guitar solos and the primal fury of Crazy Horse can still topple mountains. And Young's choice of material leans more toward obscure gems like "When Your Lonely Heart Breaks" from the under-rated LIFE than played-out hits like "Cinnamon Girl". While they never soundlike anything other than Crazy Horse, the band switches easily from an acoustic, bluesy "Mr. Soul" to the loping lamentof "Big Time" from 1996's BROKEN ARROW. Within the ostensibly narrow confines of the Crazy Horse palette there exists an entire universe of colours, and on YEAR OF THE HORSE, Young and company explore every shade with all the spirit and energy of a band in their prime.

Customer Reviews

Real Music - NY & Crazy Horse Live In 96
Stirring live album recorded around Europe, summer 1996. The band plays at the normal high standard, and the variety of songs is impressive, spanning Young`s whole career.

in anticipation
With tickets for Shakeys forthcoming London concerts in my possession these live recordings fill me full of incredible anticipation.I can honestly say that some of his greatest songs come over better live than recorded.The electric version of Pocahontas is superb and sets the tone for a great record.
