| Description: |
LP - Prairie Wind is an adventure akin to taking a drive through one's own
life stopping off to revisit old friends and loved ones along the
way. For Neil Young fans this album delivers
songs that instantly stick in your mind as familiar. Tunes like
"Falling Off The Face Of The Earth" and "The Painter" evoke thoughts
of introspection that remind us of our humanity and its ultimate
fragility. "No Wonder" feels like
a early 70's anthem applied to more recent events while "Far From
Home", with its bluesy harmonic interludes and horn accompaniment,
tells a story of fond reminiscence of childhood and growing up.
"It's A Dream" incites one to confront how fleeting our surroundings
are and ,in a sense, the desire to have them remain as more than
"just a memory without anywhere to stay". The title track weaves
the same bluesy harmonica and horn section with a group backup
singers to create an eerie and evocative scene. Neil Young has
created in "Here for You" possibly the ultimate love song with a pace
and harmonica rifts reminiscent of Bob Dylan in the mid 60's if he'd
been in Nashville. "This Old Guitar" is a masterful story of life
that is impossible not to relate to in one way or another and
features a great backing vocal from Emmy Lou Harris making this tune
even more special. "He Was King" is clearly a tribute to Elvis
which harkens back to an easier time. The final track "When God Made
Me" asks the questions about our humanity we all ponder at some time
in our lives. This is an album, dedicated to his father that Neil
Young made for himself, his friends and family and is giving, as a
gift, to the rest of us. We can all benefit from the insights
contained here and possibly gain some important perspectives on life
- thanks Neil.
Classic Records, in cooperation with Reprise Records, Lookout
Management and Neil Young are proud to present "Prairie Wind" as a
Deluxe 2 LP gatefold edition. Included is an 18 page 12" x 12"
booklet with lyrics and photos printed with soy based inks on paper
that is from sustainable forests and Rain Forest Alliance certified.
The LP mastering and cutting was done at Bernie Grundman Mastering in
Hollywood by Chris Bellman using the original 1/2" analog master
tapes with plating and pressing on Classic's proprietary 200g QUIEX
Super Vinyl Profile at RTI. The sound is, to put it bluntly, without
compare and sets a new standard for sonic achievement. Is this
Grammy worthy? You bet it is.
As an added bonus, side 4 of the set is an interview with Neil
discussing guitars, equipment, music, musicians and musical arrangers
among others things. Not to be missed! |
