Sup, Jeff? Brother Neil. Funny, I just got done watching the David Crosby documentary, and he talks about Neil quite a bit.

Evening, Jeff. Man, I’ve always wanted to check out Illinois Speed Press, but now I really have to hunt their albums down.

Check the nearest dollar bin, for some reason nobody cares and its a very solid album...

Evening Jeff, getting here a little late but this Strangefolk is a nice one.

Chris Wardell:

Aww, Croz is ok. A little pompous and unnecessarily surly for sure. If I Could Only Remember My Name is a classic record, and Jerry is all over it.

also, I bookmarked that Whims tweet to check out but honestly I saw it and thought "oh, I bet I'll hear from that Sunday night."

San Francisco here. Just tuned in about 15 minutes ago. As the legal cannabis kicks. Wonderful music.

I'm deeply familiar with Croz's work. I just dont want to hear his opinbion on anything. And his last two records are dogshit.

While hanging around Portland, I found a local 70s band called Sand. Tremendous find.

I have that LP, Carmichael, its very good. Weird how its split across two LPs though

You’ve heard of Sand? Most excellent. I have been playing it on repeat for awhile now. I have to go back to the dude at the record shop, who seemed to know them.

Hey

Of course I know Sand who do you think you’re talking to?!

There's a great German band called Sand as well. And I have their records too ;)

This album first appeared in the UK on Transatlantic, which was the label on which Gryphon's first album, 1973, was issued.

I'm up later than usual for a Sunday. It's kind of hot in here in my place in Clifton, and I have a few windows open. I hear the leaves rustling from the wind, and this airy, folky setlist is the perfect compliment. Cheers, Jeff!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:59pm
Mr. Pumpy:

@Ken...thanks for the info. I have a place up in Delaware County, and I go through right past Woodstock on the ride to and fro. I'll look into that.

Love you have this intelligent & well-informed presentation of genre music I don't get exposed to elsewhere.
  11:13pm
Dean:

I'm uncomfortable admitting it, but I've always thought Neil Young was overrated. He's a kinda folkie, hippie Springsteen. He's written a good song or two, but generally he isn't the best performer of those songs.

Alas, B"P"B likewise strikes me as a fake. That's probably because The Wire so heavily covered him, and The Wire is for me almost unbearable.

I think Neil has done at least 5 perfect albums. But his last 10 years have been shit for the most part.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Neil is a Stylist - in voice & on gittar - which will always hit & miss with various individuals
...& has written more songs than alll but a small handful of people...
Always admired how he goes his own way after his muse
....if @ 74 & after more than a Half Century he isn't always the most relevant is it a shock?
  11:23pm
phat:

I should send you copies of one of my old band's records. you'd probably dig them.
  11:23pm
Dean:

If by "perfect" you mean "really, really good," then so be it. But if you mean transcendent, rarely to be bettered, then I can't reply meaningfully.

At least 5 is probably about right

dave b.:

Some big negative feelings about Neil Young this evening. His records in the past 10 years are certainly not my favorites, but it's hard for me to call them S#1T. I have too much respect for this man. He was criticized and even sued by the record label he was on in the early 80's after he released Reactor/Hawks and Doves/ Trans/ Shocking Pinks. These were kinda considered bad records too by many at the time. There are real gems on all those albums, as there are a few on his current ones.
Neil is a pure artist.
Avatar 11:52pm
Jeff Conklin:

He's indeed an artist. But far from pure. And shilling for Amazon is beyond shitty. Sorry, its how I feel.
  11:53pm
phat:

mandy, agreed
  11:54pm
Dean:

Mine contribute to the negative feelings. They are directed less at his lifetime of work--good, bad, influential, for some but not for others--than at the notion that he "is a pure artist," which means nothing. That aside, I don't find much to enjoy in his work.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54pm
mariano:

I'm not the biggest Neil Young fan by any stretch, though do I have a lot of respect for him. But man, I really love his Shocking Pinks phase, then there was the new-wavy one, Sample and Hold. I looked up the Wonderin' video not long ago, hadn't seen it since probably the 80s on MTV, and it is a trip.

This sounds like the sun is coming up. The sun must be coming up over the Atlantic right now.

Wasn't Neil's song "This Note's For You" about not selling out? I am confused now.
