The second album in the new box, Ragged Glory, reunited Young with Crazy Horse. Recorded at Young's Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California, the album belatedly built on the hard-hitting, heavy sound of such past records as Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and Zuma. For this reissue, four rarities have been added under the umbrella title of Smell the Horse: the B-sides "Interstate" and "Don't Spook the Horse," and the previously unreleased outtake "Box Car" and extended, 12-minute version of "Born to Run." (In 2018, Young revealed that 38 minutes of session material from Ragged Glory had been newly discovered, with an extended version of one song among the five that were found. "Born to Run" may well be that extended version. "Box Car" is likely also from those tapes, though whether the remaining material will be released is anybody's guess.) C'mon Neil, I need to hear all 17 aborted takes of Mansion On The Hill. I don't know how I can make my way through life without versions of songs that you once deemed weren't good enough. I need to hear these things, no matter the cost.

Features Elvis Costello, Crosby Stills & Nash, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, Ben Harper, Elton John, Norah Jones, Lady Antebellum, Dave Matthews, James Taylor, Keith Urban, and others. It somehow escapes my understanding: why does one need to have four additional LPs (as compared to the original releases) to publish four additional songs? Scrounging for quality is alright with me but isn't it a common place nowadays that vinyl production capacities are limited? I still have good vinyl copies of "Freedom" and "Weld", and that April 1st CD will do for many years to come. I think I'll wait for the "Smell the Horse" stand-alone release.

It's also seriously intense. The musicianship, already pretty damn fierce on Ragged Glory, has by this point dropped all pretense of mellowness. The guitar solos have become ruthless enough to slice through steel. Kot, Greg (September 6, 1990). "3 To Watch Out For". Chicago Tribune . Retrieved December 22, 2016. Ragged glory is such a great album can't wait for this new release. With Springsteen hitting the road next year I wonder when we are going to see the horse out of the barn, it can't come soon enough for me. My wife and I are in the process of moving, and we have been working tirelessly to get rid anything that doesn’t serve a useful purpose in our lives. Like many people we have accumulated a ridiculous amount of stuff over the past twenty one years, and we have made a conscious decision to live with less. I must say that the process has been incredibly liberating to say the least. Unfortunately we are both passionate about music, and although we have let much of our collection go over the past few years, Neil Young is just too important for us.

The sound at the warm-up Catalyst gig hasn't yet mutated into the (regimented, Gulf War inspired) brutality of the following 50+ shows. But it has started to. You can hear it developing, intensifying - sometimes mid-song. Dan I' m not complaining, rather I am soliciting reasons to justify another box-set. Being beleaguered by several thousands of books, quite a few works of art, antique Roman and Greek artifacts (mostly shards), driftwood objects, photographs in my little box at the top of the stairs I also have to think about posterity. I took my son to Neil Young and Dylan concerts and he is a vinyl collector himself (in his generation that obviously became a matter of social distinction) but I still wonder where all this stuff will go one day.
