Decade (1977) - Neil Young
[Amazon.com] [FR] [DE] [UK]I have been a fan of Neil Young ever since my friend and I went on our trips to Bergen Op Zoom, and he played Decade on his father's car stereo. Whenever I think of poetry and the fact I rarely read it, I think of Neil Young, because it is often forgotten that music lyrics are poems set to music.
Biography
Neil Percival Young OM (born November 12, 1945) is a singer/songwriter and guitarist who grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and an almost instantly recognizable nasal tenor (and frequently alto) singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments—including piano and harmonica—his style of hammer-on acoustic guitar and often idiosyncratic soloing on electric guitar are the lynchpins of a sometimes ragged, sometimes polished, yet consistently evocative sound. In more recent years, Young has started to adopt elements from newer styles of music, such as industrial and grunge, the latter of which was profoundly influenced by his own style of playing. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil Young [Sept 2006]
