Editorial Reviews

Review

A superb collection of Young's work with a decidedly different perspective. --Courier and Post

A long-overdue splash of vibrant life in an ocean of mediocrity... this is the tribute album Neil Young has deserved for most of his long and prolific career. --Cover Lay Down

An absolute must-have companion piece for fans of Young's catalog. --Newhouse News Service

This review is from: Cinnamon Girl: Women Artists Cover Neil Young (Audio CD)

This collection of women's voice treatments of Neil Young's songs is everything I had expected. There are some are real gems. The use of all women's voices and creativity add an interesting slant on Neil's songs demonstrating their breadth and true human connections. I enjoyed the artists and group choices made by American Laundromat Records. The CD, for the most part, avoids the problem of disjointed sounds many multi-group artist tributes suffer from, flowing nicely together from various styles and sound variations. It is a bit short at a combined 82 minutes but is still quite enjoyable. I know as a Neil Young fan that I will enjoy this for many years to come. It will join the ranks of good tributes such as.This Note's for You Too!: A Tribute to Neil Young and The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young. The charity cause that this CD was made for is also very special. I lost a sister to cancer and I respect and appreciate the producer, Mr. Spadaro's motivation of the loss of his mother. A worthy cause and a good tribute of Neil's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tribute and Excellent Cause, March 31, 2008

This review is from: Cinnamon Girl: Women Artists Cover Neil Young (Audio CD)

This is an unbelievably good tribute to one of my favorite artists. Neil Young's songs have always been a part of my life and hearing women reinterpret his most popular songs is just brilliant. Tanya Donelly, Britta Phillips, and Lori McKenna turn in my favorite tracks. Dala's slow piano-inspired "Ohio" is beautiful. Jill Sobule does a very hip version of "Down By The River" and Elk City's 'Helpless" is heartbreaking and gorgeous. There's so many good songs on this double-CD it's hard to choose favorites however because they are always changing. With all proceeds going to breast cancer charity, I've already purchased several as gifts. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this one!!!
