JUKE BOX JURY
That’s what we’ve got this month. Biggest pile of worthy discs I’ve had yet, but no real killers — unless you count Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” (Reprise 1065) which is beginning to wear thru overexposure. It still stands head & shoulders above the rest of Harvest though, and it’s the finest evocation of the folkrock sound since “Oh Yoko”.

A lot of pretty good records

That’s what we’ve got this month. Biggest pile of worthy discs I’ve had yet, but no real killers — unless you count Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” (Reprise 1065) which is beginning to wear thru overexposure. It still stands head & shoulders above the rest of Harvest though, and it’s the finest evocation of the folkrock sound since “Oh Yoko”. When a guy with a harmonica and a restrained rock group can wrench your guts like that, you have to wonder why all these autistic dullards continue to waste your time with their bland guitar strummings. :: The second-best Neil Young song lately is “Horse With No Name” by America (WB 7355) even though he had nothing to do with it. It ain’t on their album, by the way, so wait for the next one.
