In a bizarre moment of clarity, Q magazine awarded it the full 5-stars, only to receive a torrent of angry complaints like: Much was expected of his return to the studio with Crazy Horse, but what resulted was a record so deep and scary that few of his new-found fanbase were willing to get near the edge, let alone dive into it. As Nirvanamania swept the world and Slash-stylee guitar-widdling and poodle hairdos were forgotton, Neil Young stepped up to receive his crown as the Godfather of Grunge.Īnd then, just to prove that all aspects of his former glory had returned, he casually threw out the whiskery and radio-friendly "Harvest Moon" as the official follow-up to the massive-selling "Harvest" from 1972. ![]() After a decade of legal wrangling and a chain of seemingly willfull random and shallow releases, 1990's triumphant "Ragged Glory", and the accompanying live set, "Weld", saw him plugging in the guitars again with the faithful Crazy Horse in tow and reaching for the knob that goes all the way up to eleven. It's commonly accepted fact that with the opening of the nineties came a new creative rebirth for Neil.
