Neil was someone whose music I'd already started opening myself up to and exploring before even starting on this quest.
I always find his high, plaintive singing voice odd, given his legacy as "godfather of grunge" not to mention his 'hard face' which seems like it should accompany a gravelly, deep voice, something Tom Waits-esque perhaps.
That he was making the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album (a couple of posts back) at the same time as this just makes this album all the more impressive. It has a great mix of styles, with melancholy ballads; passionate , angry rockers; and perkier tracks. A lot of acoustic sounds but those 'grunge godfather' credentials come in to play on a couple of tracks.
