Neil Young Silver & Gold

Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000".
4.5 stars out of 5 - "...Neil Young is at his hushed, acoustic best: simple, romantic, direct....It details, with glistening realism, the peaks and valleys that make true love an eternal work in progress..."
7 out of 10 - "...This is the homespun, acoustic Neil Young...he hasn't sounded as lucid, or as confident, in years....a precise, light-handed record that feels like warm wind on the back of your neck..."
Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000".
4 stars out of 5 - "...A wonderfully affecting record....an album about love. Love and...nostalgia..."
"...Introverted [and] acoustic....[he] elected to don a mask of extreme mellowness..."
"...[Young] wistfully gazes back at his past for inspiration....marked by faint whiffs of breezy pedal steel, organ and dobro....unabashed sentimentality and joy."
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Sees him going all acoustic again, proving it's better to fade away than burn out..."
"...Swift, smooth numbers focussing on a single ambitious theme: reconnecting with the lost moments, recapturing the texture of lost loves and missed chances, and doing it well and real enough...to provide new energy. That's quintessential Young..."
"...The album has really just one mood: comfortable. An untroubled feeling of effortlessness and ease....a mellow tender, easy album..."
7 out of 10 - "...Gently acoustic, peacefully steeped in nostalgia and remembrance, it generates a warm glow of grace....a pleasant stroll in an autumn sunset..."
