"Despite its incompletion, 'Sketches of My Sweetheart the Drunk' is a very worthy follow-up to 'Grace'. It's bold, daring, and yet somehow, still maintains that wonderful, beautiful quality that was always a constant throughout his music. Tim, his father, would've been very proud." Reply

"A smooth and easy listening album that is very pleasant to listen too. It is a little more country than most Neil Young albums and so if you enjoy that side you will definitely love this album. The vocals are great as always and there is a little extra on this one with the help of a backing vocal..." [+] Reply

"Baez is an important figure in the American folk revival and the development of folk rock, so some awareness of her is important. This is her debut album, and works well enough to give good idea of her singing and her style. It is also widely regarded as her most significant album. The songs are ..." [+] Reply
