CD Details

  • Released: September 11, 2001
  • Originally Released: 2001
  • Label: Varese Sarabande

Description by OLDIES.com:

Before the classic, much imitated proto-grunge garage band sound of Crazy Horse was even a concept or option, Neil Young walked into an ill-attended show by the band he had discovered on this very recording - The Rockets, yet another maverick project from the amazing White Whale label, the timeless, hypnotic, crazy yet understated groove of Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina captivated Young, Danny Whitten's out there ELECTRIC guitar, like a shower of sparks, touched a nerve in a man whose own contributions to out there guitar are not too shabby either! The classic sole album by the band who became Crazy Horse (with the legendary sound already in evidence) it doesn't get much better!
