TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT is the sixth studio album by Canadian / American songwriter Neil Young. It was recorded in August–September 1973, mostly on August 26, but its release was delayed until June 20, 1975. In 2003, the album was ranked number 331 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. His emotional tone and hoarse voice soar on ''Tonight's The Night''; ''World On A String''; ''Tired Eyes''; ''Roll Another Number (For The Road)''; ''Speakin' Out''; ''Borrowed Tune'', and six more. By 1975 Young had written some of the most enduring anthems in rock history. But from the slow, tension-building piano opening of "Tonight's The Night," he downshifts into darkness and Crazy Horse's folk-country melodies take on a guttural hum that would eventually speak to generations of punk and grunge musicians. Inspired by the overdose deaths of two of Young's friends, roadie Bruce Berry and guitarist Danny Whitten, the title track (and its closing reprise) is a hypnotic cry of "why?" Even the relative party songs, "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown" and "Roll Another Number," fit the album's bus-to-nowhere resignation.
PERSONNEL: Neil Young – vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica, vibes; Ben Keith – pedal steel guitar, vocal, slide guitar; Nils Lofgren – piano, vocal, guitar; Danny Whitten – vocal, electric guitar; Jack Nitzsche – electric piano, piano; Billy Talbot, Tim Drummond – bass; Ralph Molina – drums, vocal; Kenny Buttrey – drums; George Whitsell – vocal.
The album is the third and final of the so-called "Ditch Trilogy" of albums that Young released following the major success of 1972's Harvest, whereupon the scope of his success and acclaim became so difficult for Young to handle that he subsequently experienced alienation from his music and career. Written and recorded in 1973 shortly after the death of roadie Bruce Berry, Neil Young's second close associate to die of a heroin overdose in six months, TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT was Young's musical expression of grief, combined with his rejection of the stardom he had achieved in the late '60s and early '70s. The title track, performed twice, was a direct narrative about Berry: "Bruce Berry was a working man/He used to load that Econoline van." Whitten was heard singing "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown," a live track recorded years earlier. Elsewhere, Young frequently referred to drug use and used phrases that might have described his friends, such as the chorus of "Tired Eyes". Performing with the remains of Crazy Horse, bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina, along with Nils Lofgren (guitar and piano) and Ben Keith (steel guitar), Young performed in the ragged manner familiar from Time Fades Away - his voice was often hoarse and he strained to reach high notes, while the playing was loose, with mistakes and shifting tempos. But the style worked perfectly for the material, emphasizing the emotional tone of Young's mourning and contrasting with the polished sound of CSNY and Harvest that Young also disparaged. TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT did not offer solutions to the personal and professional problems it posed. It was the work of a man trying to turn his torment into art and doing so unflinchingly. In 1975, after a massive CSNY tour, Young at the last minute dumped a newly recorded album and finally put TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT out instead. Though it did not become one of his bigger commercial successes, the album was immediately recognized as a unique masterpiece by critics, and it has continued to be ranked as one of the greatest rock & roll albums ever made.
