Although the back-up band pretty much plays the same sort of thing in that track as the others, so you might not even notice that he switched genres! Very, very sneaky…įunnily, the only other song on the album that isn’t blues turns out to be a total piece of garbage. Rather, that’s a cheesy ’80s version of ’60s sunshine pop! It’s nothing too special, but at least Young forced himself to gravitate away from those predictable chord progressions. There are a few candidates for “best song” in this album, but I went along with “Sunny Inside” partly because it’s one of the few tracks here that couldn’t be described as ’80s cheese-blues. Well, my job reviewing this album is easy, because most of you already knows what this album sounds like without hearing it! Other than switching to a new label, it’s not even an important one for Neil Young since it’s pretty clear that he’s just treading water … again. At least the instrumentation sounds good, which is what keeps it a fair distance away from so many similar albums of the era. While this album isn’t particularly good, it’s not particularly bad, either. We have the ultra-polished, swinging rhythm sections, the blaring horn sections and about zero-percent originality. This time he found himself in the territory of ’80s cheese-blues. Neil Young might have quit the Geffen label, but that doesn’t mean he knew when to quit! This Note’s For You marked yet another instance of Young extreme genre leaps.
