An affecting, intimate and novel release by the veteran Canadian singer-songwriter with a non-stop acoustic rendition of 13 of his own favourite songs spanning his career and comprising the unpredictable and lesser known. They run from his 1966 debut with Buffalo Springfield – Burned – all the way up to 2021’s Don’t Forget Love. The rather beautiful If You Got Love, with added organ, is a previously unreleased song. His voice, if older and not as strong, retains that beautiful fragility, exposed and perhaps at his best in this stripped back form. The particularly shows up the the strength of I’m the Ocean, originally recorded with Pearl Jam on 1995’s Mirror Ball. Other highlights include the tender When I Hold You in My Arms, the piano-accompanied A Dream That Can Last, and My Heart, as well as the continually relevant I’m The Ocean, and Mother Earth. A treasure for those who enjoy the quieter Young. Out on Reprise.
