SCARCE...hard to find so clean (it's MINT), from the mid '70s and even though it was a very popular album, it also went under the radar of many would be fans. In other-words, it comes recommended to fans of "After The Gold Rush" & "Harvest" ...
In 1977 Neil Young came to Reprise Records with a solo acoustic album. They liked what they heard, but asked if he wouldn't mind adding a backing band. He agreed to it (one of the few instances of Young going along with his record company's suggestions). Neil also found a backing vocalist in a young Nicolette Larson, whose harmonies added a little extra magic. Some of the songs were even given lush backing productions, a rarity for Young.
The end result was Comes A Time. With a pastoral, summery sound, it was the closest he had been to a pure rural sound at the time, and also in many respects his most accessible and radio-friendly record (Young himself has referred to it as one of the albums he is most pleased with).
"Look Out For My Love" and "Lotta Love" were recorded with Crazy Horse in his home studio at an earlier date, and have a rougher edge to them (though even then "Lotta Love" was an upbeat, catchy number, and Nicolette Larson herself got to #8 with a cover of it the same year).
It also featured one cover song (another rare thing for Young), a splendid version of the classic "Four Strong Winds".
"Comes A Time" became his highest-charting album since Harvest (#7 in the US and #4 in Canada), and retrospectively can be called one of his strongest, most consistent works.
