Neil Young made a point of listing the recording dates of the songs on American Stars 'n Bars; the dates even appeared on the LP labels. They revealed that the songs had been cut at four different sessions dating back to 1974. But even without such documentation, it would have been easy to tell that the album was a stylistic hodgepodge, its first side consisting of country-tinged material featuring steel guitar and fiddle, plus backup vocals from Linda Ronstadt and the then-unknown Nicolette Larson, while the four songs on the second side varied from acoustic solo numbers like "Will to Love" to raging rockers such as "Like a Hurricane." Just as apparent was the album's unevenness: side one consisted of lightweight compositions, while side two had more ambitious ones, with "Will to Love," for example, extending the romantic metaphor of a salmon swimming upstream across seven minutes. The album's saving grace was "Like a Hurricane," one of Young's classic hard rock songs and guitar workouts, and a perennial concert favorite. Without it, American Stars 'n Bars would have been one of Young's least memorable albums, and since it turned up the following year on the compilation Decade, the LP was rendered inessential.

Tracks:
1 ) The old country waltz
2 ) Saddle up the Palomino
3 ) Hey babe

Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' (1958) (DVD-A - XRCD - RVG)

Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' (1958)

DVD-Audio - XRCD - RVG

AMG:
Recorded in 1958, this legendary date with the still-undersung Sonny Clark in the leader's chair also featured a young Jackie McLean on alto (playing with a smoother tone than he had before or ever did again), trumpeter Art Farmer, and the legendary rhythm section of bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, both from the Miles Davis band. The set begins with one of the preeminent "swinging medium blues" pieces in jazz history: the title track with its leveraged fours and eights shoved smoothly up against the walking bass of Chambers and the backbeat shuffle of Jones. Clark's solo, with its grouped fifths and sevenths, is a wonder of both understatement and groove, while Chambers' arco solo turns the blues in on itself. While there isn't a weak note on this record, there are some other tracks that stand out, most notably Miles' "Sippin' at Bells," with its loping Latin rhythm. When McLean takes his solo against a handful of Clark's shaded minor chords, he sounds as if he may blow it -- he comes out a little quick -- but he recovers nicely and reaches for a handful of Broadway show tunes to counter the minor mood of the piece. He shifts to both Ben Webster and Lester Young before moving through Bird, and finally to McLean himself, riding the margin of the changes to slip just outside enough to add some depth in the middle register. The LP closes with Henderson and Vallée's "Deep Night," the only number in the batch not rooted in the blues. It's a classic hard bop jamming tune and features wonderful solos by Farmer, who plays weird flatted notes all over the horn against the changes, and McLean, who thinks he's playing a kind of snake charmer blues in swing tune. This set deserves its reputation for its soul appeal alone. [The CD version includes two bonus tracks: "Royal Flush" and "Lover"].

Tracks:
1. "Cool Struttin'" – 9:24
2. "Blue Minor" – 10:19
3. "Sippin' at Bells" – 8:19

Skylarking is XTC's eighth studio album, released on October 27, 1986. Considered by many to be their finest album, Skylarking is a "life-in-a-day" semi-concept album which displayed songwriting and arranging heavily influenced by The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Kinks. The title of the album was inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem To a Skylark and many of the songs expand on the pastoral themes of their 1983 album, Mummer, most notably "Summer's Cauldron" and "Season Cycle".

wikipedia
Re-ac-tor is an album by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, released in 1981. The album married the electric guitar crunch of the late 70s Crazy Horse sound with early 80s New Wave rhythms. The simplistic, overdriven sound of the songs can be seen as a continuation of the punk-influenced numbers of Rust Never Sleeps such as "Sedan Delivery". Critical reception to the album was generally poor except for the accolades accorded to the album closer "Shots." The album marked the first use by Neil Young of the Synclavier which would be featured heavily on several of his later albums: Trans (1982) and Landing on Water (1986).

Track list:
1. "Opera Star" – 3:31
2. "Surfer Joe and Moe the Sleaze" – 4:15
3. "T-Bone" – 9:10
4. "Get Back on It" – 2:14
5. "Southern Pacific" – 4:07
6. "Motor City" – 3:11
7. "Rapid Transit" – 4:35
8. "Shots" – 7:42

Neil Young - Living With War (In the Beginning) (2006) Limited edition CD+DVD (lossless)

Neil Young 2006 - Living With War (In the Beginning) Limited edition CD+DVD

rock | CD: eac-flac; DVD: 24/96 audio + video | cover | 4650+265MB

Reprise | rar +5% recovery

Living with War: "In the Beginning" is a stripped-down version of Neil Young's 2006 album Living with War. The original title of this particular CD/DVD release, according to a press release, was called Living with War - Raw. However, the title changed when the album was finally released.
In a special CD/DVD limited-edition package, available on Reprise Records in stores on December 19, 2006 the set included videos directed by Young of every song on the album. Using a wide range of visual sources, both from the Iraq War as well as demonstrations in the United States, and Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth the videos are a statement of not only what has happened during the past three years of war, but also how it has affected the entire world.
Living with War, which originally came out in early May 2006, immediately set off a firestorm of reaction from both sides of the political fence. With songs like "The Restless Consumer," "Shock and Awe," "Flags of Freedom" and "Let's Impeach the President," Living with War was quickly seen as a unique musical statement. On the "Raw" version of the album, the sound is straight-from-the-source, captured live in the studio exactly the way it was recorded, without the backing instrumentation and choral accompaniment found on the original release.

Track list:
1. "After the Garden" - 3:25
2. "Living with War" - 5:08
3. "The Restless Consumer" - 5:51
4. "Shock and Awe" - 4:56
5. "Families" - 2:33
6. "Flags of Freedom" - 3:45
7. "Let's Impeach the President" - 4:34
8. "Lookin' for a Leader" - 4:08
9. "Roger and Out" - 4:23

Personnel:
* Neil Young: guitars, vocal
* Rick Rosas: bass
* Chad Cromwell: drums
* Tom Bray: trumpet

Following the triumph of Rust Never Sleeps, Hawks & Doves benefited from the enormous critical goodwill Neil Young had amassed, though fans and critics nevertheless were baffled by its set of obscure acoustic and country-tinged songs. The seven-plus-minute "The Old Homestead" (copyright 1974) was interpreted by some as an allegory for Young's relationship to CSNY, perhaps because that was the only way to make any sense of the most mysterious Young lyric since "The Last Trip to Tulsa." In retrospect, now that it's known Young was distracted by domestic medical concerns while working on the album, its theme of perseverance in the face of adversity, both in a personal context of family commitment ("Stayin' Power," "Coastline"), and in a national context of hard work and patriotism ("Union Man," "Comin' Apart at Every Nail," "Hawks & Doves") seems more apparent, as does the sense that Young may have been trying to fulfill his recording contract (even with the inclusion of trunk songs like "The Old Homestead," the album runs less than half an hour) while devoting a bare minimum of his time and attention to the effort. The result is correspondingly slight.

"Doves"
1. "Little Wing" – 2:10
2. "The Old Homestead" – 7:38
3. "Lost in Space" – 4:13
4. "Captain Kennedy" – 2:50

"Hawks"
5. "Stayin' Power" – 2:17
6. "Coastline" – 2:24
7. "Union Man" – 2:08
8. "Comin' Apart at Every Nail" – 2:33
9. "Hawks & Doves" – 3:27

Personnel
* Neil Young – guitar, harmonica, piano, vocals
* Greg Thomas – drums
* Dennis Belfield – bass
* Ben Keith – steel and dobro, harmony vocals
* Rufus Thibodeaux – fiddle
* Ann Hillary O'Brien – harmony vocals
