NEIL YOUNG ARCHIVES VOLUME 1(1963-1972)

Le serpent de mer s’est enfin échoué On the Beach, l’Arlésienne du rock, ses archives annoncées depuis une longue et obscure nuit dété passée à la belle étoile après The Harvest
Dream Up, DeamUp
Huit CD et je ne parle pas des éditions DVD et BLUE RAY, huit galettes avec des morceaux connus, beaucoup de prises live, des inédits, bref le Loner a fait en une fois ce que Dylan compile peu à peu.
Période féconde, période où les chansons qui se découvrent deviendront des hits, plongée vertigineuse dans un univers foisonnant mélange de beauté apaisée et de fureur électrique
On est dépassé, subjugué par la masse, on se prend le coffret dans la tronche, alors on butine, on butine, War Song cette chanson de soutien à Mc Govern, le concert de toronto de 1971 déjà publié mais qui est somptueux, les démos de Buffalo Springfield, les extraits des albums de Crosby, les grandes heures de C,S, N & Y ;
Tout est connu ou presque, pourtant la mise en forme nous emmène sur les rivages du Loner, on fredonne, on chante les paroles sans pouvoir imiter la voix si particulière de Neil.
Il faut se plonger dans ces pépites, en extraire la quintessence, l’épure d’un des plus grands song writeurs et interprètes de la rock music.

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
you're leaving there too soon,
You're leaving there too soon.
