Dec 13, 2021It seems that finally, Neil Young is back on his creative feet once more. You kinda got to hand it to him that this is his FOURTY-FIRST studio album. The fact that he's still this good this late in the game is impressive as it is. The addition of Crazy Horse is also a very, very nice touch. Do not underestimate this man's music.

Dec 12, 2021Very enjoyable new music from the great chief of garage rock. Yes some of the lyrics could have done with some polishing, but NY doesn't do things like that, feeling is the name of the game. 'Canerican' and 'Welcome Back' are standout tracks so far. And do yourself a favour get it on vinyl, listen to those Barn acoustics. Overall a worthy addition to an already peerless career.

Jan 3, 2022On Barn, as on many recent predecessors, the tunes meander along the most obvious routes of the chords that underpin them, rarely going anywhere in particular, and almost never taking the sorts of audacious twists that might lodge them in your heart and mind. This doesn’t appear to be a case of Young losing his touch, but the result of a deliberate decision to prioritize immediacy over craft.

Dec 20, 2021Barn is a really solid Crazy Horse record, definitely in the upper third of Neil’s output over the last decade or two. There’s a lot of joy and atmosphere in the set, and while some of the tracks here might be a bit too typical of their genre tropes or Neil’s past, they also bring with them a timeless, warm sense of identity and perspective totally unique in the current music world.

Dec 13, 2021This is a Crazy Horse record that is both raucous and highly tuneful, saturated with in-band bonhomie.
