Comes a Time is the ninth studio album by Canadian-American vocalist-songwriter Neil Young, released past Reprise Records in October 1978. Its songs are written as moralizing discourses on love'south failures and recovering from worldly troubles. They are largely performed in a quiet folk and land manner, featuring bankroll harmonies sung by Nicolette Larson and boosted accompaniment on some songs by Crazy Horse.[iii]

Production [edit]

The album originally started out equally a solo record, simply when Immature played it for Reprise executives they asked him if he would consider adding rhythm tracks to what he already had. Young agreed, and the stop product was Comes a Time.

Much of the anthology features harmony vocals from Nicolette Larson, who besides shares lead vocals with Young on "Motorcycle Mama".[4] Two songs on the album, "Expect Out For My Love" and "Lotta Beloved", featured Young'south long-fourth dimension backing ring, Crazy Equus caballus.[ commendation needed ] Another song, "Homo Highway", was written several years prior to the album'southward release, and was originally recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1974 for a proposed album to exist called "Human Highway", only in typical CSNY style the recording sessions were abandoned amid acrimony betwixt the four group members and the album never came to pass.[5]

For many years it was rumoured that Young had personally purchased some 200,000 vinyl copies of Comes a Time having been unhappy with the album's sound, owing to harm that occurred to the principal tape during shipment to the mixing facility. The version of the anthology most widely available today was personally remixed past Young from the safety copy of the original master. In a March 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Young claimed that he, in fact, used the 200,000 LPs every bit shingles for a barn roof.[6]

Reviewing for The Village Voice in October 1978, Robert Christgau hailed Comes a Fourth dimension as a "tour de strength" for its folkie concept and music, with melodies that rival those of Young's Afterwards the Gold Rush (1970) and a sound that is "almost ever quiet, commonly acoustic and drumless, and sweetened past Nicolette Larson". While noting that listeners may "wonder why this thirty-two-twelvemonth-erstwhile hasn't learned more about Long-Term Relationships", Christgau was ultimately won over by "the spare, good-natured balls of the singing and playing" for how information technology "deepens the more egregious homilies and transforms good sense into wisdom".[12] Stereo Review magazine'due south Noel Coppage found the anthology to be Young'due south "simplest, most audio-visual, and best produced" record since 1972'due south Harvest, but more "down to world and directly" in comparison and highlighted past a healthier perspective to his usual angst and varied songs performed in a consistent way. While lamenting a lack of energy to some degree, Coppage said that echo listens of the album will provide "rewarding experiences with texture and mood, some real tunes, and the existent personality Immature puts into his work".[xiii] Somewhat less impressed was Greil Marcus of Rolling Stone. Describing Comes a Time every bit "a restrained and modest fix of love songs that traces a long affair from showtime light to final regrets", he expressed disappointment at the relative "facelessness" of the songwriting when compared with rougher music on earlier albums like Zuma (1975) and American Stars 'n Confined (1977).[xiv]

At the end of 1978, Comes a Time was voted the year'south eighth best album in the Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of American critics nationwide, published in The Village Vox.[15] Christgau, the poll'due south supervisor, ranked information technology fifth on his own year-terminate list accompanying the poll.[16]

According to Rolling Stone 'southward Milo Miles, while the album may have sounded out of place amid the punk rock craze of 1978, it is in retrospect Young's "well-nigh timeless and easy-to-love works, a cursory just immaculate" work. Miles interprets the opening track "Goin' Back" as Young returning to folk music in refuge from the existent world, much as in the aforementioned way the anthology altogether offers listeners "a steady haven in dark times" with lyrics about "taking shelter from troubles and going out to face them again".[nine] AllMusic's William Ruhlmann recommended the anthology to fans of Harvest, proverb "melodies, beloved lyrics, lush arrangements, and steel guitar solos dominated, and Young'south vocals were made more accessible by being paired with Nicolette Larson's harmonies."[7]
