| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | If Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and Ragged Glory are the two finest studio albums Neil Young recorded with Crazy Horse, Zuma certainly qualifies as a close third. Recorded in 1975, Zuma exudes both a sense of focus and a tentative optimism, two qualities that were completely MIA from the bleak Time Fades Away/Tonight's the Night/On the Beach trilogy that preceded it. "Barstool Blues", "Don't Cry No Tears" and "Drive Back" are terse, punchy rockers, while "Danger Bird" and "Cortez the Killer" are extended guitar work-outs in the grand Crazy Horse tradition. And the two acoustic entries--"Pardon My Heart" and "Through My Sails" (the latter was recorded with Crosby, Stills & Nash)--are absolutely gorgeous. Ignore the terrible cover art, and treat yourself to one of Young's most underrated records. --Dan Epstein | |

| The guys never made a bad album back then | |
| | | I cannot think of one weak album by Neil Young AND CRAZY HORSE that came out during the 70s. Some of his albums with other musicians didn't quite cut it for me (e.g., Journey through the Past). ZUMA is a perfect example of Neil & Crazy Horse doing what they do best: flexing their rock and roll muscles. Forget the crummy cover art. Ignore the throwaway "Through My Sails" which I think he did only to give the three other guys a little work doing their downturns. This album cooks with gas and nitro. "Drive Back" is a rocking blues tune, as is "Barstool Blues". We all know the moody boiler, "Cortez the Killer", is an overlooked classic. And "Stupid Girl" probably has one of the most outrageous lyrics in music history: "Your such a beautiful fish, flopping in the summer sand/Looking for the wave you missed, when another one is close at hand". That got me hook, line and sinker! Pick up this underrated album!
| | Neil and Crazy Horse at their best! | |
| | I truly loved Zuma back in 1974 when it was released, and I've continued to play it regularly since that time. For the true fan of Neil and the Horse it's an absolute classic, with the right mix of extended guitar jams like "Danger Bird" "Drive Back" and the classic "Cortez the Killer" showing how Neil and the Boys could rock with the best of them! The latter two are practically standards of any Neil Yougn & Crazy Horse concert I've seen. "Barstool Blues" is a truly inspired song,too. with a bluesy sound. As well, the more laid back songs like "Pardon My Heart" and "Don't Cry No Tears" have that essential Neil and Crazy Horse spark. Many of the songs reflect the personal pain of Neil's breaking up with his lover, Carrie Snodgress (the actress of "I fell in love with the actress" fame from Harvest's "A Man Needs a Maid"( This is especially true lyrically of "Pardon My Heart", "Danger Bird" and "Stupid Girl" and even the lovely personal "I know she's out there somewhere and she loves me to this day" ending of one of his all time great songs, "Cortez the Killer". It's true also of his "friend's" lost love in "Barstool Blues". The album also has it's light folky songs, the optimistic "Looking for a Love" (after Carrie) and the Crosby-Stills-Nash and Young out-take "Through my Sails". To sum up, one of the best Neil Young and Crazy Horse albums, which has stood the test of time for over a quarter of a century. A must buy for anyone who considers themselves a true "Rustie'!!
| | Neil at his raunchiest best | |
| | From a hard core Neil Young fan this is one of my favorite Neil Young albums (along with Everybody Knows this is Nowhere). Zuma has great songs from start to finish, Neil with his runchy gut felt guitar licks and the feeling that each song was done in one take. The whole ablum has an energy in every note. If you are a Neil Young fan and don't have this you are missing out on a truly great ablum
| | | After all the years this album has been out the price alone ought to tell you this is no bargin basement work. They totally rip on this one. Classic Young!
| | | Danger Bird and Cortez the Killer are enough to own this album, Barstool and Don't cry are also great songs. Just say to whole album is a gem, and not one dude floats in this bright diamond.
