Description
Neil Young and Crazy Horse / Year of the Horse - WB/Reprise Records 46652 (Stereo)(Germany)(1997) ...This auction is for an Import Issue Double Record on high quality (German) vinyl. This album was not released on vinyl in the US and was very limited in Europe. It is no longer in print.
Neil Young allowed Jim Jarmusch to make a film documentary about his 1996 tour, and this album, Year of the Horse is the album that was released to coincide with the movie (it's not really a soundtrack, since these performances don't appear in the film though.) There are many songs here that haven't made Young's previous live albums and enough strong moments to make Year of the Horse a very worthwhile recording.

The first thing you hear on this two-record live album is Young's voice wryly asserting that "It all sounds the same...It's all one song." While this self-effacing assessment of the Young/Crazy Horse oeuvre echoes the feeling of many critics, on YEAR OF THE HORSE, recorded in several cities during the band's 1996 world tour, nothing could be further from the truth.
Young's caveman-on-acid guitar solos and the primal fury of Crazy Horse can still topple mountains. And Young's choice of material leans more toward obscure gems like "When Your Lonely Heart Breaks" from the under-rated LIFE than played-out hits like "Cinnamon Girl." While they never sound like anything other than Crazy Horse, the band switches easily from an acoustic, bluesy "Mr. Soul" to the loping lament of "Big Time" from 1996's BROKEN ARROW. Within the ostensibly narrow confines of the Crazy Horse palette there exists an entire universe of colors, and on YEAR OF THE HORSE, Young and company explore every shade with all the spirit and energy of a band in their prime.
Editorial reviews [H]ere, heavy rock is turned inside out, drained of its claustrophobia and set loose over a verdant landscape.
The Wire
Middle-aged hippie musicians should be forbidden to release live double CDs of sloppy, jam-oriented rock--unless they happen to be Young and Crazy Horse....HORSE isn't an essential addition to his canon, but it's a welcome one. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (19970620)
8 (out of 10) - ...On the double LP YEAR OF THE HORSE, he mans the stadium burp gun and makes every bum note huggable....YEAR OF THE HORSE gives neglected guitar epics from ZUMA and BROKEN ARROW extra minutes of Jurassic life...
Spin (19970901)
3 Stars (out of 5) - ...rough-and-tumble roots grunge with a predilection for grand gestures. Guitars never riff when they can soar; songs don't end when they can extend...
