I always seem to surprise myself 50 years down the road, and this past week it was listening to Neil Young's Time Fades Away. This was the album that followed Harvest and it just became part of Young's succession of albums where he seemed not to care as much in making great records. Neil has a lot of personal history within this time period, so much so that this live album is not officially listed in his catalogue, and wasn't pressed as a CD until 2017. In my journey through the past this last week, I found Time Fades Away very satisfying. In a year, I'll give Neil's 1974 On The Beach, another try.
Two other gems, are Fleetwood Mac's Mystery to Me, and Dave Mason's It's Like You Never Left. I think I included every song from both albums here as the Brits just kept making great music.
Enjoy my friends, you've got a full week of listening enjoyment as I was personally having the time of my life with my girlfriend and into my first semester of college in October, 1973.
Hey Doug. I’m anonymously enjoying the heck out of the playlist as Mel and I make the rounds on our morning constitutional. I’ve got my earbuds in for maximum listening efficiency, what with the occasional loud traffic in the less rural sections we happen upon. You always bring something that escapes me when these songs were new 50 years ago. You’ve Been In Love Too Long is absolutely killer. I didn’t even recognize it as Bonnie. Had to go back and check the artist. Thanks ol’ pal.
