A song like “Sunny Inside,” with its marching rhythm and charging horn charts, seemed to demand a forceful, gritty singer on the order of Wilson Pickett, and Young’s watery tenor just didn’t cut it. And if you took This Note’s for You on its own genre terms, it could be just as laughable. If Landing on Water and Life had been lackluster, at least they hadn’t been as embarrassing as Young’s forays into rockabilly (Everybody’s Rockin’) and techno (Trans).

“A collective groan from Neil Young fans could be heard when it was announced that, as his return to Reprise Records, Young was engaging in yet another genre experiment, this time recording blues and R&B with a six-piece horn section. The video was nominated for a Grammy in the category of “Best Concept Video” in 1989. The video for the title track was basically a parody of corporate rock and advertising which featured a Michael Jackson look-alike whose hair catches fire. The overall theme of the album relates to the commercialism of rock and roll. The 16th studio album from Neil Young, This Note’s For You was released in 1988 and was originally credited to Young & The Bluenotes.
