Easily the moodiest album in a career not lacking in that quality, ZUMA is a swirling, hypnotic current that drags you into river of self-doubt, bitterness and fear. This is the sound of the '60 gone sour. All the peace-and-love vibes Young dabbled in with Buffalo Springfield and CSNY crash to the ground, and the strange, beautiful sound they make is ZUMA.
It's only through the good offices of Crazy Horse that Young is able to keep the somber, droning quality of these tunes going for an entire album without a moment of boredom. On the unforgivingly sarcastic "Stupid Girl" and the paranoid "Cortez the Killer," it's the languid air of acceptance with which Young delivers the lyrics that draws you in, but it's the twisting thorn bush of electric guitars that keeps you focused. Hidden amidst all this emotional turmoil is one of Young's most poignant, trenchant and concise pop gems, "Don't Cry No Tears."

Mojo (Publisher) (11/01, p.151) - "...His most accessible album since HARVEST...with harder, more eclectic sound and lyrics..." Zuma Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Zuma
Think of this album as a "transition" period for Uncle Neil and Crazy Horse; power guitars to carry you back in time in "Cortez the Killer", and sweet throwback harmonies to soothe in "Pardon My Heart". Perhaps the most accessible piece of work Neil Young ever released...Those unfamiliar with Neil Young's work might like to start right here!

Neil's best Year Ever!
I would have to rate this collection ahead of havest. Hell,the only album better than this one is After the goldrush, making this the best Crazy horse album ever. I would love to debate any Neil Young fan that 1975(the year of this release)as being the most memorable year of his etire career. It amazes me that he came out with Tonight the night along with Zuma within six months. Both albums represent a major achievement, but Zuma ranks ahead as a unique masterpiece! Check it out.

This is probably not the best Neil Young-album but it is probably not one of his worst either, it`s somewhere in between. The album is mostly electric but there are two great acoustic songs as well. For the beginner it`s not the album to buy because it`s pretty edgy and the singing is sometimes out of tune so if you are not used to Neil buy Harvest or something like that at first, or buy my favorite Rust never sleeps which is half acoustic and half electric and see which Neil you like the most.

one of my favorites
I'm so burnt out on this album(after 20 years)I don't listen to it anymore because,someday,I want it to sound as refreshing as it did the first time I heard it at age sixteen.This is a good album for when the sun is going down and you are tired of life.I've heard Neil say "Don't Cry No Tears"was one of the first songs he wrote when he was a kid-That sets a pretty high standard for any songwriter.EVERY song on ZUMA is essential Neil Young and Crazy Horse.Go ahead and buy it and listen with an open mind!

 $9.25   
Let's get a popular misconception out of the way. The rap about this being one of Young's darkest, most harrowing albums is utter nonsense, perpetuated by critics who spend more time reading each other than listening to the music. TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT is dedicated to Young's guitarist Danny Whitten and roadie Bruce Berry, who died shortly before this recording was made, and the title cut details that very ...

With steel guitars, fiddles and lots of acoustic guitars, this low-key folk-rock album harks back to Young's great AFTER THE GOLD RUSH-HARVEST period, and if it doesn't measure up that's only because of the ridiculously high standards the earlier albums set. Taken by itself, COMES A TIME is a fine collection, anchored by the timeless wonderment of the title song; a cover of Ian & Sylvia's "Four Strong Winds," and the nearly indescribable "Look Out For My Love," which is either a love song, a threat or both.

While attending Northwestern (noted for developing some of the finest jazz musicians in the world), Wendell met trumpeter Lonnie Hillyard, alto saxophonist Charles McPhearson, and percussionist Roy Brooks. These were the musicians that really got Wendell into playing jazz.

Wendell also attended the Detroit Conservatory of Music (now known as the Center for Creative Studies). Wendell moved to New York when he was 18 years old to make his way in the music world and he did.
