CD Reviews
In its first volume, Neil Young Archives reveals an artist who throws out nothing, but it also showcases a body of work that deserves this treatment.
Being a Neil Young fan isn't always easy. There have been lean years, puzzling political stances and quite a few less-than-satisfying concept albums. But most fans are determined to stick it out. In many ways, the gargantuan Neil Young Archives, Vol. 1: 1963-1972 is payback.
