Neil Young always seems to be making a comeback, but detractors who have diligently panned his releases from the 1990s and 2000s (and sometimes with good reason) will be forced to change their tune with 2005's PRAIRIE WIND. A plaintive, thoughtful, country-rock album that recalls both 1992's HARVEST MOON and 1972's HARVEST, PRAIRIE WIND is Young's strongest, most focused, and most compulsively listenable studio album since 1989's FREEDOM.

The most striking characteristic of the album is its mood, which is heavily nostalgic, melancholy, and, lyrically, full of reflections on memory, loss, and mortality. (The passing of Young's father and his own experience with a brain aneurysm seem likely influences for the tone here). In this way, it comes close to the emotional intensity of early '70s classics like TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT, though perhaps without the edge and ragged beauty of that work. Instead, Young cut the album in Nashville with top-shelf personnel (Spooner Oldham is among the usual suspects), giving PRAIRIE WIND a smooth veneer. Still, there is a great warmth and ease to the sound, and Young turns in some of his finest songs in ages: the simple, heart-rending "It's a Dream," for example. Young has established and shattered enough categories in his time that a return to classic form like this is well-earned, and much appreciated.

2 stars Just Neil
Just OK Neil - very mellow. Nothing real remarkable in it for me. Nice stories, but he's done better.

3 stars No electric guitar grunge on this CD
Neil gets back to his accoustic / piano roots on this CD. The only leads are harmonica - no electric guitar solos which I like. I heard Neil suffered a brain annurism during taping - 2 of the songs are post surgery for the annurism. God bless him. I liked his electric guitar work better than this style. He is a great lyricsist though.

5 stars I'm a Neil Young fan now
Like everyone, I've been familiar with Neil Young for many, many years. Occassionally he'd create something that I liked, but never really wowwed me. Until "Prairie Wind". What a beautiful compilation of emotions, experiences and life this album is. Thank you, Mr. Young, for giving us the real Neil Young in "Prairie Wind".
