The news that
Neil Young is recording with
Crazy Horse usually means that fans are in for a superior, rocking effort. Not this time.
Young could have written the songs in an afternoon (one consists of the repeated lines, "Got mashed potato / Ain't got no t-bone") and recorded them that night. Raggedness is what one looks for in a
Neil Young/
Crazy Horse release, but not toss-offs. This is mere product.
