Dan I' m not complaining, rather I am soliciting reasons to justify another box-set. Being beleaguered by several thousands of books, quite a few works of art, antique Roman and Greek artifacts (mostly shards), driftwood objects, photographs in my little box at the top of the stairs I also have to think about posterity. I took my son to Neil Young and Dylan concerts and he is a vinyl collector himself (in his generation that obviously became a matter of social distinction) but I still wonder where all this stuff will go one day. Yet even as that precocious latter group supported Young in the studio and on the road as of The Monsanto Years , their rambunctious soul evoked nothing so much as Neil and Crazy Horse at their finest; is it much surprise the latter foursome got together again for some off-the-cuff shows in 2018 (recruiting long-time compadre and early CH member Nils Lofgren in place of Sampedro), then made a record ( Colorado ) the very next year? Ragged Glory is the 18th studio album by Canadian / American singer-songwriter Neil Young, and his sixth album with the band Crazy Horse. It was released by Reprise Records on September 10, 1990. [4] Ragged Glory was voted the 36th best Grunge album of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine in 2019.

I don't know how I can make my way through life without versions of songs that you once deemed weren't good enough. I need to hear these things, no matter the cost.And you can also hear the seeds being sown that would grow into the Old Princeton Landing series, 5 years or so later.) My wife and I are in the process of moving, and we have been working tirelessly to get rid anything that doesn’t serve a useful purpose in our lives. Like many people we have accumulated a ridiculous amount of stuff over the past twenty one years, and we have made a conscious decision to live with less. I must say that the process has been incredibly liberating to say the least. Unfortunately we are both passionate about music, and although we have let much of our collection go over the past few years, Neil Young is just too important for us.

Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, stamped variant 2 [no etching]): R/S Alsdorf 759 926315-1-B2 (2 crossed out) Less than a year later, Young reunited with Crazy Horse, seeming fully intent on evoking the spirit of their original bonding in 1969 on Everywhere Knows This Is Nowhere . The late Danny Whitten played guitar and sang on that seminal release, while in the quartet’s subsequent incarnation (following the latter’s tragic demise), guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Frank ” Poncho” Sampedro appeared to reignite an altogether similar chemistry on 1975’s Zuma. Following Live Rust, predating Weld and more than fully living up to this record’s title (political implications aside), Neil and the reconfigured ensemble continued in that simple yet effective, cacophonous vein with Ragged Glory, absolutely reveling in how deeply they relished playing together. This is truly a set of superior releases (including ARC by the way) and deserves a place in any NY collection. Looking forward to hearing it. No complaints here. Kot, Greg (September 6, 1990).

Long-time readers here know I think Weld, the record of 1991's Ragged Glory tour, is Neil's best electric live album.

Still, elsewhere in the same interview, he hinted that a deeper focus on family in the '80s — particularly caring for his sons Ben and Zeke, both of whom were diagnosed with cerebral palsy — led to a shift in priorities that reduced his drive to make new music. "I closed myself down so much that I was making it, doing great with surviving – but my soul was completely encased," he mused. "I didn't even consider that I would need a soul to play my music, that when I shut the door on 'pain,' I shut the door on my music. That's what I did. And that's how people get old." The sound at the warm-up Catalyst gig hasn't yet mutated into the (regimented, Gulf War inspired) brutality of the following 50+ shows. But it has started to. You can hear it developing, intensifying - sometimes mid-song. The song title was inspired by the band's tendency to lose their nerve and ability to play with feeling when there's a sense they're being watched or judged.
