Music reviews of Greatest Hits
Music Review: Some good old tunes
Rating: 3 Stars
Neil Young has song writing ability. No question. But to say his voice sounds pleasant is a bit of a stretch. Just kidding, Neil! Who am I to talk? At least Neil did it without the aides that many of today's artists use. You know who you are!
I'm sure I'm not his biggest fan, but the songs from the CD, excuse me, HDCD that I've heard played on the radio are top-notch. My favorites: Cinnamon Girl, Rockin in the Free World, Ohio, and Heart of Gold.
There is one problem with the disc, though. This disc is an unfortunate victim of the loudness wars. Kind of surprising really. But, there you go.
Description of Greatest Hits
His first ever CD greatest-hits collection, Neil Young's Greatest Hits is a long-awaited retrospective from one of rock's most influential and enduring singer-songwriters. With 16 selections spanning his entire career since 1969, Greatest Hits features some of the greatest hits of rock'n'roll, period.One question would be: What took him so long? After all, a contemporary like Van Morrison has sold boatloads of his single-disc best-of set to buyers wary of diving into that deep catalog without a primer to get them started. So three and a half decades into his solo career, Neil Young finally delivers his version of that most modest of albums--the pre-holiday "hits" overview. What's surprising, coming from such a proud maverick, is its conventionality. Granted, the original master mixes are a boon for fans, but otherwise, there's not much here for loyalists who quite likely already possess the original "Like a Hurricane" on a couple of albums, as well as a handful of live interpretations scanning the years. Since Young cracked the Top 10 only once (1972's "Heart of Gold"), this set is built around concert staples as "Cinnamon Girl," "Rockin' in the Free World," and "Hey, Hey, My My" rather than chart favorites. Despite Young's honorable standing as a still-vital graybeard, the disc is skewed heavily toward his early work, shortchanging some mighty productive recent years. Peripheral fans may find this set of interest, but faithful followers are better advised to investigate the DVD version, which, at least, includes videos, photos, lyrics, and Web links. --Steven Stolder
