Sobre el álbum

Ragged Glory es el decimoctavo álbum de estudio del cantautor Neil Young, y su sexto álbum con la banda Crazy Horse. Fue lanzado por Reprise Records el 9 de septiembre de 1990. El álbum retoma el estilo hard-rock previamente explorado en Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere y Zuma. Las dos primeras pistas, "Country Home" y "White Line" son canciones que Young y Crazy Horse originalmente escribieron y tocaron en vivo en la década de 1970 (la grabación original de "White Line", hecha para un álbum de Homegrown abortado, finalmente se lanzaría en 2020 ).

"Farmer John" es una versión de una canción de la década de 1960, escrita e interpretada por el dúo de R&B Don y Dewey y también interpretada por el grupo británico Invasion The Searchers y por la banda de garaje The Premiers. Young reveló que la canción "Days that Used to Be" está inspirada en "My Back Pages" de Bob Dylan. El álbum incluye muchas improvisaciones de guitarra extendidas, con dos canciones que duran más de diez minutos. La pista de cierre, "Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)", utiliza la melodía de la canción popular "The Water Is Wide".

  1. Country Home7:04

    Letra

    I don't like to go down to flats 'Cause I can't park on a hill Instead getting a rolling start I have to pay the bill. I guess I need that city life It sure has lots of style But pretty soon it wears me out And I have to think to smile. I'm thankful for my country home It gives me peace of mind Somewhere I can walk alone And leave myself behind. It's only someone else's potatoes You pickin' someone else's patch And if you go down there anyway It very seldom lasts. I found that out once long ago And it sure got me confused I still don't know which way to go To lose those old spud blues. I'm thankful for my country home It gives me peace of mind Somewhere I can walk alone And leave myself behind.
  2. White Line2:59

    Letra

    I came to you When I needed a rest You took my love And put it to the test I saw some things That I never Would have guessed Well I've been down but I'm coming back up again And I'm rollin' down The open road Where my true love, she lies waiting Right now I'm thinking 'bout These things I know But the daylight will soon be breaking You were my raft And I let you slide It seemed like such a Long easy ride I was adrift On a river of pride Feels like a railroad I pull a whole load behind me That old white line Is friend of mine And it's good times That we've been making Right now I'm thinking 'bout Those things that I know But the daylight will soon be breaking breaking
  3. F*!#in' Up5:53
  4. Over and Over8:27

    Letra

    At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down My heart goes running back to you I love the way you open up and let me in So I go running back to you, Over and over again. Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Over and over again my love Over and over again with you. Remember the nights of love and that moment on the beach That wasn't really too long ago But we paid the price of time, and now it's out of reach And so the broken circle go, Over and over again Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Over and over again my love Over and over again with you. Somewhere in a fire of love, our dreams went up in smoke We danced beneath silver rain Upon the fields of green, where time was just a joke And now the feeling's just the same, Over and over again. Over and over again my love Over and over again with you Over and over again my love Over and over again with you.
  5. Love To Burn10:03

    Letra

    Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start You gotta take the first step You gotta crawl to be tall And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget. You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got to let your guard down You better take a chance, A chance on love. Take chance on love On love. In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time Why'd you ruin my life? Where you takin' my kid? And they hold each other saying: How did it come to this? You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got to let your guard down You better take a chance, A chance on love. Take chance on love On love. Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: You gotta move to start You gotta take the first step You gotta crawl to be tall And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget.
  6. Farmer John4:12

    Letra

    Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks I love the way she wiggles, she wiggles she walks Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks I love the way she moves, she moves, she moves me Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes Farmer John, I'm in love with your daughter Yeah the one, with the champagne eyes
  7. Mansion On The Hill4:46

    Letra

    Well, I saw an old man walking in my place And he looked at me, it could have been my face His words were kind but his eyes were wild He said: I got load to love, but I want one more child. There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill. Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one I was in hurry but that don't matter now 'Cause I have to get off that road of tears somehow. There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill.
  8. Days That Used To Be3:50

    Letra

    People say don't rock the boat, let things go their own way Ideas that once seem so right, now have gotten hard to say I wish I could talk to you, you could talk to me 'Cause there's very few of us left my friend From the days that used to be. Seem like such a simple thing to follow one's own dream But possessions and concession are not often what they seem They drag you down and load you down in disguise of security. But we never had to make those deals In the days that used to be. Talk to me, my long lost friend, tell me how you are Are you happy with your circumstance, are you driving a new car Does it get you where you wanna go, with a seven year warranty Or just another hundred thousand miles away From days that used to be.
  9. Love and Only Love10:18

    Letra

    Long ago in the book of old, Before the chapter where dreams unfold A battle raged on the open page, Love was a winner there overcoming hate Like a little girl who couldn't wait. Love and only love will endure Hate is everything you think it is Love and only love will break it down Love and only love, will break it down Break it down, break it down. Tomorrow is a long long time if you're a memory Trying to find peace of mind Spirit come back to me, Give me strength and set me free Let me hear the magic in my heart. Love and only love will endure Hate is everything you think it is Love and only love will break it down Love and only love, will break it down Break it down, break it down. Long ago in the book of old, Before the chapter where dreams unfold A battle raged on the open page, Love was a winner there overcoming hate Like a little girl who couldn't wait. Love and only love will endure Hate is everything you think it is Love and only love will break it down Love and only love.
  10. Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)5:11

    Letra

    Oh, Mother Earth, With your fields of green Once more laid down by the hungry hand How long can you give and not receive And feed this world ruled by greed And feed this world ruled by greed. Oh, ball of fire In the summer sky Your healing light, your parade of days Are they betrayed by the men of power Who hold this world in their changing hands They hold the world in their changing hands. Oh, freedom land Can you let this go Down to the streets where the numbers grow Respect Mother Earth and her giving ways Or trade away our children's days Or trade away our children's days. Respect Mother Earth and her giving ways Or trade away our children's days.
