Young may not provide enough variety in phrasing to justify multiple ten minute jams, and the fits of guitar are frequently on the verge of destroying his amps. Pushing forward at all times is Young’s voice, so confident and bright that despite the heavy subject matter, we eagerly await each verse. Anyone’s guess as to what a “Cinnamon Girl” is, but I want one after that closing riff.
[“Cinnamon Girl,” “Down by the River,” “Cowgirl in the Sand”]
