CD 2, on first listen, leaves me less favorably impressed than I've been with any of his albums since Road Rock. Prairie Wind, Greendale, and even the first version of Living With War seem much better crafted than CD 2. Geffen probably would have loved it if he had turned this one in during the 80's. He almost could have turned it in during the 80's. Boxcar, Beautiful Bluebird and Ordinary People, all leftovers from the 80's, take up more playing time than Everybody's Rockin' by about 15 seconds. I imagine a few of them will be keepers, but mostly this album seems like Neil is phoning it in. The live shows have been great though. And thanks for the great old unreleased tracks and the paint peeling video. I’ve been a Rusty since before there were Rusties, over 30 years.

You make my day every time a new batch goes up, and this most recent bunch is knocking my socks clean off. I'm feeling CDII on a first pass. Gotta give it more time, but first impression says it's his best album in years. Going to the Seattle show tomorrow night...I can't wait. The set list from the first couple of shows look outrageous, and it's been far too long since I've seen him live. Keep the great tracks coming! Your music blog is one of the best I've found. Much obliged. ~p Thanks so much for these tracks, and all the Neil you’ve been posting of late.

"No Hidden Path" is the best song he has released in a long time. I like the variety of styles on the record. There's some great country, soul, gospel, and rock.
