Jonathan Demme graced the stage at Yonge-Dundas Square without Neil Young on Monday night. The Oscar-winning filmmaker was in Toronto for the Canadian debut of the Neil Young Trunk Show, Demme's second feature-length film on the Canadian rocker. Shakey fans and Toronto International Film Festival sheep had been awaiting the much-anticipated...

Intro And Warning London, England Wednesday, June 24, 2009 Pub It's an uncomfortably warm day in London and I'm sitting in a pub in the Queen's Park district of London. Across from me are my hosts, Mark and Lucy. Both are in — or have worked in — the music industry, and as such are grizzled veterans of the Glastonbury Festival. As anyone who...

Neil Young — Fork In The Road

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) April 7, 2009 2:18 pm
Young's concept album about his LincVolt electric car project and the sorry state of the economy shows the man still has lots of music and ideas in him after more than 40 years of releasing solo records. "When Worlds Collide" is a bluesy rock tune that effectively opens the album. "Get Behind The Wheel" follows a similar...

Neil Young — Sugar Mountain

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) December 23, 2008 3:35 pm
With Neil Young so entrenched as an enigmatic rebel/arena rock legend, it's sometimes hard to reconnect with his roots as a coffee house hippie troubadour. The release of Sugar Mountain — Live At Canterbury House 1968, the third set in the Neil Young Archives Performance Series [though it's tagged as "disc 00"], does a pretty good job...

Neil Young Proves He's More Than Just A "Dirty Old Man"

By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) November 28, 2007 4:00 pm
Neil Young graced Massey Hall's stage for the first time in 36 years on Monday night for the first of three acoustic-electric shows to support his latest record, Chrome Dreams II. The last time Young played this venue was in 1971 during the now infamous show debuting his Harvest album. The '71 acoustic show has been called one of the best sets...

Neil Young — Chrome Dreams II

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) October 23, 2007 1:30 pm
A tribute to Young's original, lost Chrome Dreams album, Chrome Dreams II is an interesting if somewhat unfocused addition to Shakey's canon. Young was pointed in saying the album would differ from his recent efforts (Greendale, Living With War) in that it wouldn't be dependent on a theme or specific sound, and he's true to his word. Album opener...

Stills And Young Briefly Awaken Crosby And Nash

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) July 11, 2006 5:30 pm
Named the "Freedom Of Speech" tour and featuring Neil Young playing most of his anti-Bush album, Living With War, the current Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young jaunt seemed perfectly designed to reharness the counter-culture energy that made CSNY protest heroes almost four decades ago. The big question, though, was whether would the...

Neil Young — Prairie Wind

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) September 27, 2005 4:09 pm
It's hard to separate Neil Young's latest album, Prairie Wind, from the context of his recent health scares and the death of his father. There are none of the convoluted narratives of Greendale, nor are there any of the musical misadventures which Young has sometimes chased in the past. Instead, you're treated to the simple waltzing country...

Neil Young — Silver & Gold

in
By Debbie Bento (CHARTattack) April 25, 2000 1:38 pm
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...

Chad VanGaalen's Diaper Island Remains At #1 For Fifth Week

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) July 12, 2011 1:43 pm
Is there any album out there that will knock off our reigning chart champ? No album lasts forever at #1. There are two LPs that have remained at #1 for 10 weeks: Thrush Hermit's Clayton Park in 1999 and Stars' Set Yourself On Fire in 2004. So as of this week, Chad VanGaalen's Diaper Island is half way to matching this longevity record, as it's sat...

Neil Young Lets Music Do The Talking

There are plenty of people who can play a whole gig by themselves. But there are almost no people whose stage presence, technical ability and musical knowledge makes it sound as if more than one instrument were being played at a time, and that multiple people were present on stage at that time. Neil Young did all those things last night at Toronto...
