Our Take

Ah, Neil Young, the godfather of grunge before grunge was even a thing. His latest release, "Young Shakespeare," is a delightful blast from the past that transports listeners back to 1971, when bell bottoms were in fashion and rock 'n' roll ruled the airwaves.

Recorded live at The Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut, this album captures Young at the peak of his powers. His distinctive falsetto vocals soar over stripped-down acoustic arrangements, giving each track an intimate, raw quality that is simply mesmerising.

From the haunting beauty of "Tell Me Why" to the foot-stomping energy of "Ohio," every song on this album is a testament to Young's songwriting prowess. The standout track, however, has to be "Old Man," a poignant ode to fatherhood that never fails to tug at the heartstrings.

Young's banter between songs is as charming as ever, showcasing his dry wit and laid-back attitude. His storytelling adds an extra layer of depth to the album, making it feel more like a personal concert experience than a mere recording.

Overall, "Young Shakespeare" is a must-listen for any Neil Young fan, as well as anyone who appreciates good music. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported back in time by the musical wizardry of Neil Young. You won't regret it.

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.
