Crazy Horse — Loose

Reprise.

Wherein remnants of Neil Young's old backing group lay down thirteen tracks easily, without fuss or undue haste. The title suits, the whole thing rocks along nicely and simply without pretensions. The tone is generally lighter than the group's first LP, though personnel changes since the latter make comparisons misleading.

The songs are mostly movers, unadorned and with predictable changes throughout.

The melodies are pleasant but for from original and though one is very conscious of influences they're hard to name apart from Crosby, Stills & Nash in All Alone Now which has the same persistent, tinkling guitar and chorus as 49 Bye Byes.
