Album Notes Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Neil Young (vocals, guitar); Danny Whitten (guitar); Billy Talbot (bass); Ralph Molina (drums).Additional personnel: Robin Lane (vocals); Bobby Notkoff (violin). Neil Young's second album yielded several of his most enduring hits (including the title tune, "Cowgirl In The Sand," "Cinnamon Girl," and "Down By The River") and firmly established him as a solo artist of the first rank. Though it's impossible to narrow the catalog of Young and Crazy Horse down to one representative document, this is about as close as you're likely to get. This was Young's first collaboration with the Horse, and it's still one of that group's defining recorded moments. As in much of Young's subsequent work, the feeling of despair moves unabated through the album, which runs the emotional gamut from laconically desperate to psychotically desperate. Despite the gloom, the heavy electric riffing on "Cinnamon Girl" and "Cowgirl In the Sand"--two surrealistic odes to an idealized muse--is cathartic and invigorating, easily as riveting as the guitar onslaught of anyone from the Stooges to the Velvet Underground.Young's rootsy, acoustic side comes to the fore on "Round & Round" and "Running Dry." The homespun quality of these songs doesn't leaven the consuming sense of dread that permeates this album, though. Strangely, this expression of angst and emotional disorder became one of Young's most lastingly popular albums, and "Down By The River," "Cinnamon Girl," and "Cowgirl in the Sand" quickly turned into FM staples.

Reviews  Rock on! Still rocks after all this time, the songs are as strong as ever. If I have any gripes its only that this album seems to be constrained by the accepted format of the time where an album mainly contained so many tracks of a limited length, I would have liked some longer and looser versions of some of these great songs, also Neil's backing band altho its practically hubris to say so were not that great. A timepiece, brilliantly evocative of an era, should be welcome in any serious collection of guitar music Review ID: 10000000003349779 Was this review helpful? Report this review Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.Review created: 12/08/06 by: Bought the album after not hearing it for the best part of three decades and i was not disapointed.It still sounds very fresh thirty seven years after it was originally released. The album is a lot more electric(guitar) than his first solo album(check out Down by the River & Cowgirl in the Sand), and his first album with Crazy Horse.In my humble opnion it's an excellent album and one i'm glad to have back in my collection!
