Neil Young — Silver & Gold

This is supposed to be a follow-up to After The Gold Rush, but it feels and sounds like it should've been released after Harvest. The flannel-wearing old-time slacker is at it again, and still doing a damn fine job of pumping out some substantial material. Even though his mellow-tinged folk-rock will put the kiddies to sleep, just listening to the lyrics and how Young pieces together melodies is inspirational. Silver And Gold is yet another triumph for Young.
