Neil Young Trunk Show + Club: Sir Elwood Duo
Virtually from the beginning of a career that's closing in on the half-century mark, Neil Young has been both an obsessive archivist and a passionate believer in the nexus of rock music and film.
That combination goes a long way toward explaining why he's made considerably more films than your average rock star and why he has returned time and again to the concert film genre attempting to find fresh approaches. (…)
The film includes several cornerstone numbers from his vast repertoire -- "Cinnamon Girl," "Cowgirl in the Sand" and the timeless "Like a Hurricane" -- but also gives a generous sampling from the "Chrome Dreams II" album, which helps avoid excessive repetition, given the number of concert films Young has put out over the last four decades. The audio is characteristically crystalline.
Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times
There are, indeed, few sounds in popular music more heartbreaking than a Neil Young vocal. Sometimes a sharp and atonal bleat, sometimes hanging nervously in the back of his mouth, Young’s voice is so instantly memorable it needs no words and no narrative to flesh it out.
