I think it was Randy Newman who said Neil Young's lyrics don't hold up to analysis because they're very basic and just word rhyming but when you hear his voice and guitar it just works. I mean lyrically he doesn't hold a candle to Dylan, Cohen, Newman and Mitchell but his style just works. One of the best artists to come out of the 60's rock 'n' roll era.
