CRITIC REVIEWS
I don't think anyone's going to argue against the fact that this is easily Neil's worst release in his classic '70s run. But in the case of American Stars 'n Bars, 'worst' doesn't necessarily mean 'bad'.
You're probably wondering "What is it that makes American Stars 'n Bars weaker than everything else? Surely one of Neil Young's classic albums isn't that much weaker than everything else? It has Like A Hurricane on it, after all!" And honestly, yeah, you would be right. If you look ... read more
Considered a dip in Neil's discography and that is hard to dispute considering what had come before but this is still a fabulous record and contains one of his greatest songs.
Essential Track - Like a Hurricaine
I love artists like Neil Young because I don't know his discography as well as I would like and I keep discovering real gems of songs in its nooks and crannies that are shockingly good to me every time.
"Will to Love" it's amazing
Wasn't expecting much out of this but there are honestly several great tracks here. Country-rock bangers like Hold Back the Tears and Saddle Up Palomino are super fun even if they lack much depth. The real star of this record though is Like a Hurricane which absolutely rips- I was NOT expecting that. Easy to miss but def worth a good listen

"Will to Love" it's amazing
"American Stars 'n Bars" es notablemente inferior a trabajos anteriores, aunque tiene por lo menos un par de canciones memorables como "Hey Babe" y la icónica "Like a Hurricane" que levantan la calidad de este proyecto.
