Jeff’s Playlist: Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse — Ragged Glory

I love Neil Young’s music and the way he plays it, espe­cial­ly with Crazy Horse.

Adra and I had been mar­ried four years and were rent­ing an apart­ment when this album was released. We had two cats (Leroy and Sapphire) and a dog, Bowser, for whom we moved across the street into a rental house because he need­ed more space. I was work­ing at the TV sta­tion and decid­ed to go back to col­lege to become an engi­neer, what­ev­er that was. Needless to say this was a very excit­ing time in our lives.

I have been lis­ten­ing to a lot of Young’s music late­ly and have real­ized that I can lis­ten to about any­thing he records and releas­es and like it.
