Neil Young: Time Fades Away
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 3 January 1974
THIS ALBUM may do for Neil Young's declining image what Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid did for Dylan's. But like Dylan's much-maligned movie soundtrack LP, Time Fades Away has its virtues when taken on its own terms an not as the latest major work of a major artist.
