On The Beach
Neil Young

An underrated and neglected gem. Yes, I have it, but I could only buy it long after my Neil Young-era. It simply wasn't released on CD until 2003. And that's bizarre, because this is possibly one of the best if not the best - consistent - album in Young's catalogue. It's truly beautiful and extremely depressing to listen to. But there are such gems on this album: 'See the sky about to rain' with that wonderful arrangement of Wurlitzer e-piano and steel guitar, astonishing title track and the utterly painful 'Ambulance blues' - it's truly fantastic music. 5 stars and a welldeserved 10/10
