"After his brush with death in 2005, one might have expected the singer-songwriter to slow down, or at least write a bunch of grim songs about mortality-- this is, after all, the guy who was singing about getting old when he was 24. But instead, Young has sped up his work rate and zagged at every opportunity, quick-fire releasing the ambitious Nashville throwback Prairie Wind and the hurried, furious Living With War."
Wow, this guy has clearly never sat down and listened to Prarie Wind. Just because it's not grim, doesn't mean it's not an album about mortality. Throwback....ambitious?
