Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reinvigorating his legendary backing band Crazy Horse with the addition of guitarist Frank Sampedro, Neil Young emerged from his 'Ditch Trilogy' with a wonderfully ragged, guitar-heavy triumph. 'Zuma' is a deeply passionate, wonderfully warm folk-rock record, balancing fiercely melodic, distorted electric jams like 'Cortez the Killer' with beautifully melancholic, pastoral acoustic romanticism.
