Neil Young - "Unplugged"

Let me start by saying I'm not that big of a fan of Neil Young. However, I really liked his "Harvest Moon" album. Is was a big departure from his electric based rock, with a much mellower sound and more introspective lyrics. Due to the popularity of that album he played on MTv's show, unplugged, the same one that had earlier led To Eric Clapton's hugely successful album. I bought this album back in high school, a few years after buying "Harvest Moon". This is a solid album and I listened to it regularly for years. In the ensuing years I've picked up a lot more acoustic albums and Mr. Young's playing just doesn't hold up when compared against other acoustic guitarists. The charm of this album is the harmonica, and his best work is when you uses it to highlight a sweet melody, such as on "Stringman", my favorite track. I haven't listened to this album in quite a while, largely because I just haven't been in the mood that works so well with it. It's hard to describe what mood that is, but you may get it after listening to a little of the album on Amazon.
