Douban
release date 2009-06-02 publisher: Reprise Records
The Neil Young Archives is a series of archival releases by singer-songwriter Neil Young which feature previously unreleased studio and live recordings. The Archives have been long-anticipated — work began on them in the late 1980s.[1] Neil Young has expressed his desire to release such a series in numerous interviews over the course of decades. The archives are divided into several series. The main part is a series of box sets covering separate periods of the artist's career. In addition to this is the Performance Series which is a series of individual releases of live concert recordings. Finally, there is the Special Edition series which will consist of previously unreleased albums.
Fork in the Road

Neil Young genre: Rock
release date 2009-04-07 publisher: Reprise Records
2009 release from Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Famer Neil Young, who is stirring things up again. This time, he is rolling on down the road not only with an auto-centric concept album, but with his own electric ride. Fork In The Road, whose largely eco-car-themed songs he debuted in concert during the past yeare, will get a promotional push from the 1959 Lincoln Continental Young has converted to hybrid technology and which he plans to drive to Washington, D.C. With Fork In The Road as current as today's headlines, the controversial and mad-as-hell Neil Young is still rockin' the free world and once more is taking the road less traveled.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse genre: Rock
release date 2012-06-05 publisher: Reprise Records
AMERICANA is the first album from Neil Young & Crazy Horse in nearly nine years. Crazy Horse is: Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Poncho Sampedro, and Neil Young. As you’ll see from the track-listing, AMERICANA is collection of classic, American folk songs. In their day, some of these may have been referred to as “protest songs,” “murder ballads,” or campfire-type songs passed down with universal, relatable tales for everyman. Some of these compositions which, like “Tom Dooley” and “Oh Susannah,” were written in the 1800s, while others, like “This Land Is Your Land” (utilizing the original, widely misinterpreted “deleted verses”) and “Get A Job,” are mid-20th-century folk classics. It’s also interesting to note that “God Save The Queen,” Britain’s national anthem, also became the de facto national anthem of sorts before the establishment of The Union as we know it until we came to adopt our very own “The Star Spangled Banner,” which has been recognized for use as early as 1889 and made our official national anthem in 1931. Each of these compositions is very much part of the fabric of our American heritage; the roots of what we think of as “Americana” in cultural terms, using songs as a way of passing along information and documenting our past. What ties these songs together is the fact that while they may represent an America that may no longer exist, the emotions and scenarios behind these songs still resonate with what’s going on in the country today with equal, if not greater impact nearly 200 years later. The lyrics reflect the same concerns and are still remarkably meaningful to a society going through economic and cultural upheaval, especially during an election year. They are just as poignant and powerful today as the day they were written.

民謠女歌手 Joni Mitchell 於一九七一年發行的經典之作。在六○年代的社運、學運已成過往雲煙後,回歸藝術家身分的Joni Mitchell,以纖細、感性之筆,寫下Blue中連篇美麗的樂章:“My Old Man”描繪無須法律約束就能地老天荒的愛情;“Blue"和“California”則以略帶憂傷的口吻,描繪社運結束後,發現社會仍無改變的惆悵; "The Last Time I Saw Richard"深刻描繪了知識分子的犬儒與失落……清淡如詩的口吻,娓娓道來日常的生活情境,蘊含的卻是極為深刻的社會觀察與生命哲思,充分展現「女性創作歌手第一人」的實力。

Neil Young genre: Rock
release date 1990-01-01 publisher: Warner Bros / Wea
Released in early 1969, Neil Young's first solo album is essentially an extension of "Broken Arrow" and "Expecting to Fly," his two most inventive contributions to Buffalo Springfield. Jack Nitzsche arranged and produced several of the tracks, fusing haunting strings and even funky female backing vocals to acoustic-oriented songs like "Here We Are in the Years" and "The Old Laughing Lady." "The Loner" is the one song from Neil Young to achieve classic-rock immortality, but "I've Been Waiting for You" is almost as good, and the rambling "Last Trip to Tulsa" presages the dark acoustic epics of On the Beach. Though it's not an essential album, Neil Young-like the man himself-is rarely less than interesting. --Dan Epstein

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young是四位民谣摇滚乐界好手的姓氏,他们原本是David Crosby(来自洛杉矶团体The Byrds)、Stephen Stills(来自另一洛杉矶团体Buffalo Springfield)、Graham Nash(来自英籍团体Hollies)所组成的超级三重唱简称CSN,在出版首张同名专辑并拿下1969年葛莱美最佳新进艺人奖之后,为了让三重唱的民谣曲风更有摇滚节奏于是加入Stephen Stills在Buffalo Springfield时代的老队友Neil Young而成为四重唱,简称CSNY。上承The Byrds、Buffalo Springfield和Hollies六○年代出以来树立的优良民谣摇滚传统,并且四个人各可担任主唱并负责吉他,缔造无懈可击的完美和声,为七○年代名团老鹰合唱团前期乡村摇滚风格的重要影响团体,也由于民谣摇滚、乡村摇滚到老鹰、佛利伍麦克合唱团、琳达朗丝黛的一脉相传,CSNY又被推崇为加州摇滚乐风的始祖,其重要性实在无法抹灭。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第148位。

Leonard Cohen genre: Folk
release date 1992-11-24 publisher: Sony
Leonard Cohen's 1992 release, THE FUTURE, is both a cynical attack on civilization and a spiritual edification, with the gruff-voiced theme "I've seen the future...it's murder." From the sinister whisper of the opening title track, the mood moves to the redemptive optimism of "Light As A Breeze," and the sardonic political march, "Democracy." There's a highly unlikely cover of Irving Berlin's "Always"; peculiar for an artist known more for his lyrical poetry than for his interpretive skills. But Leonard Cohen's voice translates uniquely to interpreting pop standards, and he gives the song a highly original bluesy read. Another unlikely cut is the closing instrumental, "Tacoma Trailer," featuring fine Synclavier work by Bill Ginn. THE FUTURE is brimming with the tormented poetry for which Cohen is so well-known. His foghorn voice is close to a murmur on many songs, and he sets the mood (dark and foreboding), as he often does, through the able assistance of his omni-present female back-up singers. With the superb lyrics of songs like "Waiting For The Miracle" and "Closing Time," Leonard Cohen remains rock's preeminent poet.
