Longhorn Reviews

By: McDonough, Jimmy

I’m a huge Neil Young fan. I grew up in the 1970s and remember listening to so many of his songs on the radio. A few years ago, my favorite cousin Joey was visiting for SXSW and brought Shakey with him. During the day, he sat on the porch and could not put it down (at night he was downtown rockin’ out). He said the book was really interesting, especially if you like Neil Young and music from the 60s and 70s. We had a copy at the Fine Arts Library and I checked it out. What an excellent biography. Young is very private and this is the first in depth account of his life. I highly recommend this account of Young’s life.

Allegedly recorded in a garage(natch)between albums and record companies, this collection of cover songs frigging rocks.

I’d like to recommend our newest Gershwin CD, “Porgy and Bess.“ Gershwin is always a classic, and that he wrote an opera when he did with this much style makes this worth a listen.

A great place to find new music, especially if Spin, NME, and Rolling Stone aren’t producing any worthwhile results for you.  This British publication is always full of clearly written and interesting reviews of new (and old) music in most genres.
