I just don't see the point of Americana.
You clearly haven't played it loud enough then.... |

You clearly haven't played it loud enough then....  But why would I do that David? Why would I play Americana loud when I could be playing Rust Never Sleeps or Ragged Glory or Live At The Fillmore East at the same volume? |

I guess it depends how you define essential. With Americana I just knew I would never listen to it. That puts it in the exclusive company of La Noise & Ev'rybody's Rockin'. Even they have one track each that I like, as does Landing On Water. I just don't see the point of Americana.
I haven't even played my copies of Le Noise or Americana yet. That's how underwhelmed by Neil I've been of late.  Jules |

As far as I can see, it's a bit of fun which got the Horse all singing from the same page again. And it really does sound great loud... Great driving music. |

It is just never gonna rise to the top of the heap when I think, "What shall I listen to today?" Even in the car. Fork In The Road will do that job just as well.  |

"Americana" has grown on me: yes there are some clunkers (Get A Job), but the band sound like they are having fun and it makes for good car music. Will report after the NY & CH show here in November: busy 2 months for the oldies here: NY, Brooce, Sir Paul, Steve Winwood, Leonard Cohen, Dylan/Knopfler for starters..

'Fanning the flames' or 'expressing his opinion'? I'll go with the latter...
