Neil Young + Promise of the Real: The Monsanto Years

Neil Young + Promise of the Real: The Monsanto Years

We are back to simply loud smashing on “People Want To Hear About Love.” The backing vocals from both Nelsons with Young are affective, as is Melgar way in the background, but this simple loud tune is not made any better by a cringe-inducing lyric.

“Working Man” tells the story of a farmer, over blistering electrics and straight-ahead snare in what could be a send-up of Bob Dylan at his “Maggie’s Farm” best. I liked the muted stomp of “Rules Of Change” even its lilting drippling chorus sounds good, but again Young drops the ball with trite lyric.
