Young is obsessed by the despoiling of America
Print Edition
NEIL Young’s voice, playing and passion are undimmed, but his lyrical talent is much diminished in this new album, which, as the title “The Monsanto Years” suggests, is obsessed with what he perceives as the despoiling of America at the hands of corporations and politicians. The sound is distinctive Neil, little changed over 50 years, though the voice is a bit scratchier now. The complaints about Monsanto, Walmart and “big box” stores that are killing mom and pop shops devolve into sloganeering. It’s a pity that the words aren’t more nuanced, because much of the music, is haunting.
