Self titled debut album from the American rock group Crazy Horse who are best known as the backing band for Neil Young. The track I Don’t Want to Talk About It would later become a UK No.1 hit when covered by Rod Stewart. (US:84)
“Crazy Horse the album, while lacking in a strong lead vocal, makes up for it with some great sounding stacked harmony lines, cool guitar riffage, driving bass and heavy rockin’ drums. It’s definitely a West Coast sound with a psych/blues vibe.”
“Crazy Horse rode the wave of Neil Young’s popularity to release their own brand of Americana folk rock that, while not being in the league of Young’s songwriting talent, stands up on its own musically. It’s no masterpiece but if you’re a fan of the work of Neil Young’s Crazy Horse albums, then you will find something on here to enjoy.”
“Better know as Neil Young’s backing band when he was deafening the fans with his brand of 70s styled country rock, this is their first solo album and it rocks from start to finish. Lots of great guitar and better than average singing and songwriting.”
“I like Crazy Horse, but there's a reason they're a backing band. Without Neil Young they would have languished into mediocre bar band obscurity a long time ago. While this album has its moments, the songs never seem to reach out and grab you.”
“The band without Neil deliver an excellent album full of great roots-rock. From the intro of Gone Dead Train on, it's just a marvellous listen. They are in top form and clearly having a lot of fun.”
“Crazy Horse's self-titled debut album is a fine example of an early seventies rock. It has a nice selection of songs, the majority composed by guitarist Danny Whitten, who sings lead on most of the tracks.”
“Crazy Horse are generally prized for their character more than their talent, but Danny Whitten had a flare for writing catchy songs, and Nils Lofgren and Jack Nitzsche were brought in to flesh out the band's sound. The result is an album oozing character while being talented enough to be more than just a novelty.”
