Neil Young’s songs from this ill-fated collaboration are widely regarded as toss-offs, but the disc does contain three or four swell Young tunes. The title track is among his finest work from the mid-’70s, with its generous pop hook wrapped in shambling rhythms, laconic pace, nostalgic subject matter, and subtle, country-fried accents. The slow, powerful “Fountainebleau” — a story of rock-star hotel decadence — is “Powderfinger”-ish with some of Young’s most nimble-fingered fretwork ever, and his vocals on “Midnight on the Bay” are stunningly on key.
