Guitar World Review
In an interview with Guitar World earlier this year, Neil Young lamented the fact that, in his estimation, music fans “don’t understand the value of sound anymore.” Of late, he’s been doing his small part to combat this development. Exhibit #1 in this regard was 2009’s Archives, Vol. 1 1963-1972, a monstrous, 10-disc DVD/Blu-ray set that traced the first decade of his life in music in exhaustive depth, and with incredible sonic clarity. Young, among the earliest and most strident voices in the argument against digitized sound (though even he likely didn’t envision how far the format would devolve with the introduction of the low-bit-rate mp3 file) saw something like redemption in the Blu-ray platform, with which he presented Archives in awesome 24-bit/192 kHz stereo PCM resolution. So while fans had for decades been listening to Young warhorses like “Down By the River,” “Heart of Gold” and “Cinnamon Girl,” they’d likely never heard them sound quite as alive as they did on Archives.

And while the full package is impressive, not surprisingly, it’s the sound that is the real standout. A few moments in particular that caught my ear—the squeals and squiggles of Young’s fuzz guitar on “I’ve Been Waiting For You” and “The Loner,” both from his ’69 self-titled debut; the textured, dovetailing acoustic interplay between Young and Nils Lofgren on After the Gold Rush’s “Tell Me Why”; the sharp, hard snap of the snare behind Young’s guitar on Harvest’s “Out On the Weekend”—all are rendered with incredible sharpness and presence, and practically jump out of the speakers.

And then there’s the Crazy Horse material: The guitar work on Everybody Knows This is Nowhere classics like “Cinnamon Girl,” “Down By the River” and “Cowgirl in the Sand” is reproduced in ragged and extraordinarily rich glory, positively dripping with harmonics and overtones. The enhanced separation between Young and Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten’s instruments, meanwhile, exposes new paths and planes in the music: Take notice on “Cinnamon Girl” as Young’s guitar, distorted and dirty but clearly defined, cuts a jagged line through Whitten’s clean, ringing arpeggios—it’s as if you’re hearing the song for the first time.
