    The cock crows, at the beginning of a marvelous version of My country home. Maybe it’s a joke, maybe Neil lost his senses. But it surely is very funny. Strange record…

      Including CSNY and Archives releases Neil has close to 20 live albums. This one, recorded with Promise of the Real, is unique. All the songs relate in some form to Neil's environmental concerns. They also aren't strictly live, as there are numerous vocal and nature sound effect overdubs. It even had the french horn solo from the original After the Goldrush recording added. In all there's 13 songs:
      1 from After the Goldrush (Title track)
      1 from On the Beach (Vampire Blues)
      1 from Comes a Time (Human Highway)
      1 from Landing on Water (Hippie Dream)
      3 from Ragged Glory (Mother Earth, Country Home and Love & Only Love)
      1 from Sleeps with Angels (Western Hero)
      4 from The Monsanto Years (The Monsanto Years, Big Box, People Want to Hear About Love, Wolf Moon)
      1 previously unreleased (Seed Justice)

      This is definitely one of his weirder records. That said, I find the album works for me. Currently I'd rate it as my favourite Neil live album (Year of the Horse used to be my favourite). The playing is great, the songs from the Monsanto Years album are superior to the versions found on that album. Heck, even the sound effects and the ad jingle choir work for me. Plus it ends with a 28 minute version of Love & Only Love! I suppose it's not for everybody but I just really enjoy this album. Your mileage may vary.
