Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
If Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and Ragged Glory are the two finest studio albums Neil Young recorded with Crazy Horse, Zuma certainly qualifies as a close third. Recorded in 1975, Zuma exudes both a sense of focus and a tentative optimism, two qualities that were completely MIA from the bleak Time Fades Away/Tonight's the Night/On the Beach trilogy that preceded it. "Barstool Blues", "Don't Cry No Tears" and "Drive Back" are terse, punchy rockers, while "Danger Bird" and "Cortez the Killer" are extended guitar work-outs in the grand Crazy Horse tradition. And the two acoustic entries--"Pardon My Heart" and "Through My Sails" (the latter was recorded with Crosby, Stills & Nash)--are absolutely gorgeous. Ignore the terrible cover art, and treat yourself to one of Young's most underrated records. --Dan Epstein

Essential Neil,
By custard-pie@nme.com (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zuma (Audio CD)
I hesitated getting this album for a long while and i am not totally sure why. Anyway, ignoring Zuma was one of my worst decisions regarding my Neil collection (now 25 albums). This album is one of Neils best. Every song on here is excellent and none of them are filler tracks. Don't Cry No Tears, Stupid Girl, Drive Back and Barstool Blues are short, punchy rock tracks and are amazing. Lookin' For A Love is a Lo-Fi affair like on Comes A Time only not quite ao quiet. Pardon My Heart and Through My Sails are gorgeous acoustic numbers with Pardon.. having the bonus of a hypnotic refrain. Then the two best numbers on the record, the sprawling, mesmeric and rocking beasts that are Cortez The Killer and Dangerbird. Enough has been said on these two tracks so all i will say is LISTEN!! And just get the album. Don't make the same mistake I did and get it as soon as possible!

The guys never made a bad album back then,

This review is from: Zuma (Audio CD)
I cannot think of one weak album by Neil Young AND CRAZY HORSE that came out during the 70s. Some of his albums with other musicians didn't quite cut it for me (e.g., Journey through the Past). ZUMA is a perfect example of Neil & Crazy Horse doing what they do best: flexing their rock and roll muscles. Forget the crummy cover art. Ignore the throwaway "Through My Sails" which I think he did only to give the three other guys a little work doing their downturns. This album cooks with gas and nitro. "Drive Back" is a rocking blues tune, as is "Barstool Blues". We all know the moody boiler, "Cortez the Killer", is an overlooked classic. And "Stupid Girl" probably has one of the most outrageous lyrics in music history: "Your such a beautiful fish, flopping in the summer sand/Looking for the wave you missed, when another one is close at hand". That got me hook, line and sinker! Pick up this underrated album!

Neil and Crazy Horse at their best!,
By Mark S. Silverman (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zuma (Audio CD)
I truly loved Zuma back in 1974 when it was released, and I've continued to play it regularly since that time. For the true fan of Neil and the Horse it's an absolute classic, with the right mix of extended guitar jams like "Danger Bird" "Drive Back" and the classic "Cortez the Killer" showing how Neil and the Boys could rock with the best of them! The latter two are practically standards of any Neil Yougn & Crazy Horse concert I've seen. "Barstool Blues" is a truly inspired song,too. with a bluesy sound. As well, the more laid back songs like "Pardon My Heart" and "Don't Cry No Tears" have that essential Neil and Crazy Horse spark. Many of the songs reflect the personal pain of Neil's breaking up with his lover, Carrie Snodgress (the actress of "I fell in love with the actress" fame from Harvest's "A Man Needs a Maid"( This is especially true lyrically of "Pardon My Heart", "Danger Bird" and "Stupid Girl" and even the lovely personal "I know she's out there somewhere and she loves me to this day" ending of one of his all time great songs, "Cortez the Killer". It's true also of his "friend's" lost love in "Barstool Blues". The album also has it's light folky songs, the optimistic "Looking for a Love" (after Carrie) and the Crosby-Stills-Nash and Young out-take "Through my Sails". To sum up, one of the best Neil Young and Crazy Horse albums, which has stood the test of time for over a quarter of a century. A must buy for anyone who considers themselves a true "Rustie'!!
