Neil Young
\nHitchhiker
\n<\/i>(Reprise Records)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

Listening to Neil Young\u2019s Hitchhiker<\/i>\u2014recorded in a single session in 1976\u2014is a pure, tranquil way to spend a rainy afternoon. Some songs, such as \u201cHuman Highway,\u201d have been on other albums, while others have remained unheard, except for the occasional live performance, for decades.<\/p>\n

When these songs are compiled into an album, they are as soothing as Young\u2019s most relaxing material is, but perhaps they\u2019re too soothing at times. They\u2019re good for the soul, but unlike, for example, 1970\u2019s After the Gold Rush<\/i>, there are times throughout this album where it\u2019s a little too bland. But the heartfelt melodies in \u201cThe Old Country Waltz,\u201d combined with some noteworthy harmonies, make this a good artistic endeavour.<\/p>\n

This moving album will make the listener pause and breathe if they play it during rush hour and will make the listener appreciate the falling swirl of leaves they see just past the traffic. It could just do with a little more variety at times, which Young has proven himself capable of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
