136. Neil Young - Everybody Knows This is Nowhere


EverybodyKnowsThisIsNowhere.jpg

Release Date: 1969
Label: Reprise

And so we enter the final year of the 1960s. This is the year that gave us Woodstock; the year John Lennon left The Beatles (even if it was Paul who 'split' the band the following year); the year David Bowie released Space Oddity, and the year Sugar Sugar was sung all summer.

Neil Young kicks us off with his second solo album, but his first important release. Joining him on instrumental duties (i.e. other guitar, bass and drums) is contemporary Liverpool FC midfielder-cum-defender - and future TV quiz-show personality, Emlyn Hughes. I liked every track on this album, except for the penultimate one. I didn't love any though and the three best ones are already included on the Greatest Hits album I own.

Rating: 7/10
Favourite Track: Down By The River
