Our Take

Ah, Neil Young, the ageless troubadour of folk-rock, has once again graced us with his wisdom and undeniable talent on his latest live album "Young Shakespeare". Recorded in 1971 at a small theatre in Stratford, this album captures Young at his most raw and unfiltered.

From the haunting opening chords of "Tell Me Why" to the epic closer "Don't Let It Bring You Down", Young showcases his mastery of both the acoustic guitar and his iconic falsetto vocals. Each song is delivered with a sense of urgency and vulnerability that is sure to make even the most hardened listener shed a tear.

The highlight of the album is undoubtedly Young's performance of "Old Man", a tender ballad dedicated to his ranch caretaker. The emotion in his voice is palpable, sending shivers down the spine of anyone lucky enough to have witnessed it live.

While some may argue that the sound quality could be better, it is precisely this imperfection that makes "Young Shakespeare" so special. It's like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a dusty record store - raw, authentic, and full of soul.

In a world filled with over-produced, auto-tuned pop music, Neil Young remains a shining beacon of genuine artistry. "Young Shakespeare" is a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest musicians of our time. So grab your acoustic guitar, find a quiet corner, and let Neil Young serenade you into a state of bliss.

About the artist

Neil Young

For nearly six decades, Neil Young has been a enigma in the music industry, consistently pushing boundaries and defying categorization. Born in Toronto, Canada in 1945, Young first rose to fame as a member of the iconic folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in the 1960s before embarking on a prolific solo career that has earned him a reputation as one of the most influential musicians of his generation. With his distinctive, reedy voice and virtuosic guitar playing, Young has explored a wide range of musical styles over the years, from country and folk to grunge and electronic. His songwriting is equally eclectic, touching on themes of love, loss, politics, and the environment with a raw honesty and emotional depth that few artists can match. Young's massive catalog includes classic albums like "After the Gold Rush," "Harvest," and "Rust Never Sleeps," as well as more experimental works like "Trans" and "Arc." His live performances are legendary for their energy and spontaneity, with Young often switching up his setlist on a whim and stretching songs out into epic jams. Despite his status as a rock icon, Young has never been afraid to speak his mind, whether it's through his music or his outspoken activism. From campaigning for environmental causes to critiquing the music industry itself, Young has never shied away from controversy, earning him a reputation as a true maverick in the world of music. With his restless creative spirit and boundless curiosity, Neil Young continues to inspire and surprise audiences around the world, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making great music. Long may he reign as the king of cool.
