Albums one and two from young Paolo Nutini and four from old Neil Young.
Paolo Nutini These Streets
Paolo Nutini Sunny Side Up
Neil Young Mirror Ball
Neil Young Hawks And Doves
Neil Young Tonight's The Night Live At The Roxy
Neil Young Tonight's The Night Live At The Roxy
Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps
More consistently excellent soulful rock from Scottish singer Nutini. I'm surprised at the number of catchy tracks in both these albums. But not only catchy, but brilliantly constructed and superbly performed. Very impressed.
Much more to come from Neil Young as I continue work on an album ranking. Here we have four albums all at the excellent end of the variable Young scale released between 1973 and 1995 (actually the live Tonight's The Night wasn't released until 2018 but was fundamentally a 1973 album):
Mirror Ball - a surprisingly excellent collaboration with Pearl Jam.
Hawks And Doves - one of Young's lesser known albums which nevertheless contained two or three of his greatest acoustic songs.
Tonight's The Night Live - very similar to the original studio album with in-between track banter and an encore of Walk On from On The Beach.
Rust Never Sleeps - half acoustic, half heavy, all classic Young.
The strong finish to the year from Neil Young will secure his place once again at the top of my appearances chart in the upcoming Year End Polls. Will anyone ever catch him?
