NEIL YOUNG ON THE BEACH
Label: Reprise
Audio CD 14 Jul 2003
2003 was the first time that Neil Young's 1974's album, 'On The Beach', has been made available since the deletion of the original vinyl issue. It was the first studio album to be issued by Young after the commercial success of 1972's 'Harvest' (1972's 'Journey Through The Past' and 1973's 'Time Fades Away' were a soundtrack and a live album). Ben Keith who provided pedal steel on 'Harvest', appears here, as does Rusty Kershaw, who wasn't to record with young again until 1992's 'Harvest Moon'.
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant Tonight’s the Night , Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's On The Beach. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
