Prairie Wind is an adventure akin to taking a drive through one's own life stopping off to revisit old friends and loved ones along the way. For Neil Young fans this album delivers songs that instantly stick in your mind as familiar. Tunes like "Falling Off The Face Of The Earth" and "The Painter" evoke thoughts of introspection that remind us of our humanity and its ultimate fragility. "No Wonder" feels like a early 70's anthem applied to more recent events while "Far From Home", with its bluesy harmonic interludes and horn accompaniment, tells a story of fond reminiscence of childhood and growing up.

"It's A Dream" incites one to confront how fleeting our surroundings are and ,in a sense, the desire to have them remain as more than "just a memory without anywhere to stay". The title track weaves the same bluesy harmonica and horn section with a group backup singers to create an eerie and evocative scene. Neil Young has created in "Here for You" possibly the ultimate love song with a pace and harmonica rifts reminiscent of Bob Dylan in the mid 60's if he'd been in Nashville.

"This Old Guitar" is a masterful story of life that is impossible not to relate to in one way or another and features a great backing vocal from Emmy Lou Harris making this tune even more special. "He Was King" is clearly a tribute to Elvis which harkens back to an easier time. The final track "When God Made Me" asks the questions about our humanity we all ponder at some time in our lives. This is an album, dedicated to his father that Neil Young made for himself, his friends and family and is giving, as a gift, to the rest of us. We can all benefit from the insights contained here and possibly gain some important perspectives on life - thanks Neil.

Classic Records, in cooperation with Reprise Records and Neil Young are proud to present "Prairie Wind" as a Deluxe 2 LP gatefold edition. Included is an 18 page 12" x 12" booklet with lyrics and photos printed with soy based inks on paper that is from sustainable forests and Rain Forest Alliance certified. The LP mastering and cutting was done at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood by Chris Bellman using the original 1/2" analog master tapes with plating and pressing on Classic's proprietary 200g QUIEX Super Vinyl Profile at RTI. The sound is, to put it bluntly, without compare and sets a new standard for sonic achievement. Is this Grammy worthy? You bet it is. As an added bonus, side 4 of the set is an interview with Neil discussing guitars, equipment, music, musicians and musical arrangers among others things. Not to be missed!
