Torrent description
Covering the years between 1966-1976, DECADE is a solid overview that shows off the many sides of the always iconoclastic Neil Young. Starting with Young's work in Buffalo Springfield, some of the nuggets include the psychedelic calliope that is "Down To The Wire" and the fuzz guitar/Motown-inspired "Mr. Soul." Throughout these ten years of recordings, Young constantly dug deep, touching on controversial topics be it his CSN&Y masterpiece about the student massacre at Kent State ("Ohio"), compositions dealing with the ups and downs of the drug culture ("Needle And The Damage Done," "Tonight's The Night") or history's dark chapters of racial injustice ("Cortez The Killer," "Southern Man").
Neil Young's choice of accompanists also allowed him to explore many different avenues. Crazy Horse provided the sonic wallop that bore such fruit as "Like A Hurricane," whereas The Stray Gators provided the springboard for more countrycentric numbers like "Heart Of Gold" and "Harvest." Other welcome inclusions are "Star Of Bethlehem" and "Deep Forbidden Lake," from HOMEGROWN, the unreleased sequel to HARVEST. The solid material on this compilation and accompanying liner notes by Neil Young make this an essential part of any record collection.

Notes:
This is an incredible collection of Neil Young's work. It includes several songs that were previously unreleased.
* "Down to the Wire" is an outtake from Buffalo Springfield Again. It features piano from Dr. John (Mac Rebennack).
* "Winterlong" was recorded during the On The Beach sessions.
* "Deep Forbidden Lake" is from the sessions for Homegrown, one of Neil's unreleased albums.
* "Love Is A Rose" is a song with the same melody as "Dance Dance Dance", a song by Neil given to Crazy Horse for their 1971 album. Linda Ronstadt later recorded "Love Is A Rose".
* "Campaigner" was written during the Stills-Young Band tour in 1976. Promo versions of Decade featured a version of "Campaigner" with a verse that was removed for the retail copies.
Decade also had several rarities...
* Sugar Mountain was a b-side several times before it ended up on Decade, but had yet to show up on an album. This version was recorded live in concert in Ann Arbor, Michigan on November 9, 1968.
* Like A Hurricane might be a different mix than the version that is on American Stars 'N Bars, and the first pressing of Decade featured a "Like A Hurricane" with a slightly different second verse.
* "Long May You Run" is from the aborted 1976 CSN&Y album sessions. The version on Long May You Run only has the vocals of Stills and Young; this version features vocals from all four.
This is a must-have for any Neil Young fan, not only for the song selection, but also for Neil's hand-written liner notes.
