Album Notes Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Neil Young (vocals, various instruments); Billy Talbot (vocals, bass); Ralph Molina (vocals, drums); Frank Sampedro (guitar).Crosby, Stills & Nash: David Crosby (vocals); Steve Stills (vocals, bass); Graham Nash (vocals).Additional personnel: Tim Drummond (bass); Russ Kunkel (congas).Producers: Neil Young, David Briggs, Tim Mulligan.Easily the moodiest album in a career not lacking in that quality, ZUMA is a swirling, hypnotic current that drags you into river of self-doubt, bitterness and fear. This is the sound of the '60 gone sour. All the peace-and-love vibes Young dabbled in with Buffalo Springfield and CSNY crash to the ground, and the strange, beautiful sound they make is ZUMA. It's only through the good offices of Crazy Horse that Young is able to keep the somber, droning quality of these tunes going for an entire album without a moment of boredom. On the unforgivingly sarcastic "Stupid Girl" and the paranoid "Cortez the Killer," it's the languid air of acceptance with which Young delivers the lyrics that draws you in, but it's the twisting thorn bush of electric guitars that keeps you focused. Hidden amidst all this emotional turmoil is one of Young's most poignant, trenchant and concise pop gems, "Don't Cry No Tears." Editorial Reviews Q Mojo (11/01/2001) Q (08/01/1993) | |||||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 07/03/08 by: I bought Zuma because I have always been into Neil, since his Buffalo Springfield days. I first bought it as a vinyl recording in 1975, as I had all his previous albums. Years later I bought it on tape and later again on CD, I bought the recent CD on ebay because my old CD was played out. The album is pure Young & Crazy Horse,every track great, commercial songs like Don't Cry No Tears, Lookin For A Love and Barstool Blues. Danger Bird is heavy and Cortez The Killer, is epic, no words needed, just listen to it. Neil was saying it all on Zuma and is probably to only artist today saying what he said back in 67,(with the Buffalo's ) and his first album Emperor Of Wyoming, Neill still cuts it and the music gets better, listen to his latest album. There is nothing I dislike about the album. I have been listening to it for, wow 33 years and it is as good today as when I first bought it, that's the genius of Neil Young, he is what rock music is all about, long may you run.
