SLEEPS WITH ANGELS is the 20th studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on August 16, 1994, on Reprise as a double LP and as a single CD. The album is Young's seventh with Crazy Horse. If Neil Young has a pronounced weakness, it's a lack of focus. Restless to a fault, he's apt to rush into the recording studio without fully forming his ideas. SLEEPS WITH ANGELS is that kind of album - and yet it's one of his best. Jarred by the death of Kurt Cobain (the rock & roll martyr quoted Young in his suicide note), he dashed off this collection of songs in 1994 with backing from his steadfast electric warriors, Crazy Horse. At least two songs (the title track and "Change Your Mind") seem to directly refer to Cobain. Others ("Driveby" and "Safeway Cart" among the most striking) are mesmerizing and gloomy. Still others ("Piece Of Crap," "Blue Eden") are raw and cutting. Goes to show an elegy, no matter how somber, needn't be a hushed affair. SLEEPS WITH ANGELS is the only Neil Young album on which he plays the flute.
PERSONNEL: Neil Young – guitar, tack piano, accordion, flute, harmonica, vocals; Frank "Poncho" Sampedro – guitar, grand piano, piano, bass marimba, oberheim, Wurlitzer piano, vocals; Billy Talbot – bass, vibes, bass marimba, vocals; Ralph Molina – drums, vocals.
Though it once again reunites him with Crazy Horse and includes such typical rock workouts as the lengthy "Change Your Mind" and the raucous "Piece Of Crap," SLEEPS WITH ANGELS is more musically varied than most of Neil Young's albums with his erstwhile backup group, ranging from piano-based ballads like the album opener, "My Heart," and closer, "A Dream That Can Last," which might have fit on After The Gold Rush, to the country-folk "Train Of Love," which sounds like a leftover from Harvest Moon, and the hard-edged grunge of the title track. The Crazy Horse influence comes in the songs' structural simplicity and the unpolished playing. Though musically diverse, SLEEPS WITH ANGELS is a song cycle in which Young repeats the same themes and images. To put it simply, the album is about death, presumably primarily the suicide of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, which occurred while it was being recorded. From "My Heart," which declares, "It's not too late" and "Somehow, someone has a dream come true," to "A Dream That Can Last," which declares, "There's a better life for me someday," Young begins and ends with a shaky, uncertain optimism, even though his language is riddled with references to violence, especially gunfire, and desperation. As in the album's title, even the references to sleep and dreams are about death. Young repeats some of the same lines from song to song and sometimes the same music ("Western Hero" and "Train Of Love" have the same tune). The album thus has a tired, mournful feel that is both compelling and off-putting. Young had not investigated such forbidding territory since the days of Tonight's The Night and On The Beach, and SLEEPS WITH ANGELS is on a par with those often harrowing works.
