In words far greater than anything I could come up with, my father-in-law (George) had this to say about Neil Young’s recent retrospective:
Please tell Tom that the Starbuck’s edition of Neil Young’s live retrospective in Canada is a spectacular tour de force of a writer and player who’s ear hears melody lines and chord structures from some other universe. Just listening to him re-tune to his different open tunings between each song is testament to his prowess as a guitar player and the other-worldly chromatic scales in his head. His studio work often masked his virtuosity because of his restraint in favor of a well balanced track. I’m in love again–Neil boy is King.
Let’s start the rally cry to get George writing some reviews for Twangville!
