    This sounds pretty great, all analog Mirror Ball. I had always assumed it as recorded to DAT for some reason, probably read it on here.

    “Recording Mirror Ball was like audio verite, just a snapshot of what’s happening. Sometimes I didn’t know who was playing. I was just conscious of this big smouldering mass of sound. The whole record was recorded in four days and all the songs, barring Song X and Act Of Love, were written in that four day stretch. I played Act Of Love with Crazy Horse in January at The Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame. Then, the following night, I played it with Pearl Jam at a Pro-Choice benefit concert and the version was so powerful I decided there and then to record it with them as soon as possible. On a purely musical level, this is the first time I’ve been in a band with three potential lead guitarists since The Buffalo Springfield. Plus there’s Jack Irons, their drummer, who was just unbelievable. He just played his ass off on every take at every session. I can’t say enough good things about him.”
    -Neil Young on recording Mirrorball.
    Mirrorball was released on August 7, 1995.

    35  Neil Young

    It’s hard to invent one genre, but to seamlessly glide between, oh, I don’t know, like five? That takes an entirely different beast, but Neil Young isn’t your average beast. Name a guy who can go from writing earnest acoustic numbers to joining the world’s biggest supergroup (at the time) in CSNY to leaving that to create moody rock to heavy jam rock with Crazy Horse? And this is all before 1979! Not to mention signing with Geffen, being sued by David Geffen for not writing commercial music (can you imagine that?), to later releasing an album with Pearl Jam as his backing band. Pretty good. But we’re only up to 1995. The rest of Young’s ballyhooed career stands on its own and with his massive archival project continuing to showcase so many uncut gems from his legendary vault, it somehow seems like we maybe haven’t even heard the best music he’s produced. At a young 75, there may not be a more beloved…or cantankerous figure in rock history (just ask David Crosby).   DK
