Description
"Certainly the most varied LP Young has come up with in some time, with the changes most noticeable in the excellent mix of music ranging from rock to blues to country to almost MOR ballads, courtesy of top musicians Nils Lofgren, Ben Keith, Jack Nitzsche, Ralph Molina, and Billy Talbot, among others. The key is a bit more energy in the music than heard on the last several Young LPs, while the one disappointment centers around the lyrics, which are excellent at times and seem just plain meaningless at others. Nevertheless, the more interesting vocal efforts from Young (he changes his style to handle the mood of the tune), the better music, and the overall unified feel of the LP make it his strongest effort in several years. Set is dedicated to Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry, two rockers who passed away recently. Best cuts: "Tonight's The Night," "Speakin' Out," "World On A String," "Come On Baby, Let's Go Downtown," "Roll Another Number (For The Road)." & "Lookout Joe."
- Billboard, 1975.
