Neil Young's Newest: Fork In The Road (CD/DVD) (2 Discs)
By Neil Young
BUZZFLASH REVIEWS
From an Online Reviewer: "Young is the musical gift of the ages that keeps on giving. This professor emeritus of the college of geezer rock has hit the pavement of the open road with new optimism about our future and our proverbial ticket to freedom........the automobile.............Neil has melded the joy of driving fine big old driving machines with revolutionary fuel efficiency into the angst and optimism of rock'n roll...that age old dichotomy...........its clever, timely and its only rock'n roll.......its a rockin' menu for our food for thought as we meet at the 'Fork in the Road.'....so, roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.....Neil's curiosity is running wild......crusin' and playin' the radio....with no particular place to go........this album is a five in my book."
Another Neil Young fan writes of "Fork in the Road":
"As a lifelong Neil Young fan (since 1980), I always wait in trepidation for a new album. Sometimes they are great and sometimes they are rubbish. Thankfully this time, it is great. Unlike the previous album Chrome Dreams II (which was awful) this has 10 songs which all stand up individually with decent melodies, lyrics and guitar rifts. Sometimes you cant tell one NY song from an other (Greendale). The sound is very much like Cortez or Like a hurricane, that sort of electric sound your familiar with. The only acoustic song is Light a candle which is great little song. My personal favourites are Just singing a song, fork in the road and light a candle. This is definitley his best album for me since Freedom 20 years ago. Praire wind and Harvest moon weren't too bad either. If your a real Neil Young fan you will really like this album, if your a casual Neil Young fan you may also like it."
