Review of the Neil Young CD Hawks and Doves


The exceptionally talented Rock artist Neil Young has released him CD entitled Hawks and Doves. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Neil Young fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Hawks and Doves Neil Young's artistic excellence is on full display as Young has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

Neil Young has been a super star in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Hawks and Doves is an excellent illustration as to why.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Ben Keith and Tim Drummond plus a few other notables as well.

Listen to this CD and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Neil Young is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - The Old Homestead, track 8 - Comin' Apart At Every Nail, and track 9 - Hawks & Doves

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Little Wing. Good stuff!
