Album Notes & Community Reviews
Returning to the lush, acoustic warmth of his earlier commercial triumphs, Neil Young's 'Comes a Time' offers a beautifully pastoral, heavily sentimental collection of country-folk ballads. Accented by Nicolette Larson's gorgeous vocal harmonies and sweeping string arrangements, the album delivers a deeply bittersweet, remarkably mellow reflection on aging and love.
