Hawks & Doves

Neil Young

A strange, bifurcated record of two halves: one side haunting archival folk, the other side brisk, patriotic country-rock recorded in a single week.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a box of old polaroids and a new country demo tape in the same dusty attic.

A jarring but fascinating mix of haunted, archival folk and plain-spoken, blue-collar country.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The eerie, submerged vocal processing on 'Lost in Space' that creates a disorienting sense of zero-gravity isolation.
The sudden shift from the haunting seven-minute allegory of 'The Old Homestead' to the brisk, blue-collar stomp of the second side.
The loose, spontaneous studio banter during 'Union Man' that captures a rare moment of levity and communal music-making.
