Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
After a long period of unfocused weirdness, Young spotted grunge around the corner and declared unity with the loud, scruffy sounds coming from Seattle. The countryish ballads, such as the opening "Farmer John", get roaring Crazy Horse treatment, and the headbanging "Fuckin' Up" is the most self-effacing rock anthem since the Who recorded "I'm a Boy". Amid the clatter, though, there is beauty: Crazy Horse's sympathetic backup vocals turn "Mansion on the Hill" into a pretty pop song despite the electric guitars, and even the white noise that closes the 1990 album is soothing in a scream-therapy kind of way. --Steve Knopper

CD Description
Neil Young and Crazy Horse came roaring into the '90s astride a powerful beast named RAGGED GLORY. During this time, Young was being heralded as the "Godfather Of Grunge", and this album went a long way towards reinforcing this moniker. Never before has heavy guitar crunch swung in such a melodic and forceful way. With the slightest hint of a twang and somerelaxed harmonising, "Country Home" chugs confidently alongin contrast to the slash-and-burn explosiveness of "F*#in' Up". The subtle country flourishes abound on this record whether it's Young borrowing the title to the psychedelic hideaway "Mansion On The Hill" from a Hank Williams song or "White Line" giving an idea of what Williams might sound like if he had a stack of Marshalls. Having developed a solid chemistry from playing together for almost twenty years, Young & Crazy Horse's penchant for extended jams is reflected on the opuses "Love To Burn" and "Love And Only Love", both of which rank alongside other tour de forces such as "Cowgirl In The Sand". This muscular ten-song set ends with "Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)", an environmental tribute that is essentially a choral soundscape recorded live at the Hoosier Dome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glory indeed, 1 Sep 2000
By John Peter O'connor - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Neil Young greeted his fourth decade as a recording artist with this solid rocker backed by Crazy Horse. This is a very compelling album and, like the title of track four, I can listen to it over and over.

If you are familiar with Neil's other albums with Crazy horse, you will know what to expect but, if you have only ever heard his lighter, more folksy stuff like Harvest, then I'd encourage you to listen to this as it shows a very different side of his music. This is much more rock oriented with some great guitar work.

The general style is related to, for example, the earlier release Zuma with the same backing team but he has something new to say here. I tried to list my real favourites and I ended up with a list of well over half of the tracks on the album.

The only song that I'm not really happy with is "Farmer John" which is the only cover and somehow, the song just doesn't fit with the rest of the album, everything else being original by Neil Young for this album.

But that is a minor criticism of a CD which has over and hour of top rate rock songs. Learn the words, play it loud and try to sing along. Then marvel at Neil's vocal range.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ragged Genius, 18 Jun 2002
By "steven_reid69" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
When they get older, most musicians are a shadow of their former selves. Not so with Neil Young. Ragged Glory is one of his best albums ever, not just in his later years. It was recorded live in the studio and the energy it captures is nothing short of stunning. It is a set dripping with loud guitars in that shambolic way only Neil & Horse know how to do. Right from the opener, 'Country House', which is such a great track, the intensity of the music does not let anywhere on the album. If you hav'nt got into Neil Young, you really don't know what you are missing. Pure genius.

4.0 out of 5 stars ****1/2 - ragged but warm, 30 Jun 2005
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
I don't know if "Ragged Glory" is glorious, excactly, but it is certainly ragged, with lots of gritty power chords and Neil Young's smouldering guitar solos screaming with overdrive.
The tempo is generally brisk, and the tunes are melodic with catchy choruses. They are long, too, clocking in at over an hour for ten tracks, with two closely related ten-minute epics, "Love To Burn" and "Love And Only Love".

"Ragged Glory" is not as varied or as original as some of Young's classic albums, but it has plenty of highlights, and the songwriting is generally strong. The warm, melodic "Country Home" is one of Neil Young's best latter-day songs, as is the grand "Love To Burn". "Farmer John" is another great, tough riff-rocker, and other highlights include the guitar-fest "Love And Only Love" and the driving "Mansion On The Hill" (which has nothing to do with the Springsteen-song of the same name).
In short...this is a great record!
4 1/2 stars - highly recommended.
