Do we think Neil has a late-career ‘final album’ masterpiece in him à la Rough And Rowdy Ways or Blackstar?
When I say this I mean an album that is not only great, but also a critical and commercial smash. I have seen this type of question been asked about Neil among other artists, and I think it is an interesting question. I don’t really see Neil as someone who would want to put out a ‘last album’ in the sense that it would be a career spanning look back on his music, discussing mortality and life, like Bob Dylan did on RARW or Bowie on Blackstar. I feel like Neil is just going to keep releasing and making the music he wants to make, not necessarily thinking about what the ‘last one’ would be. The closest he got to this was probably Prairie Wind from 2005, when he was facing some serious health issues and the recent passing of his dad.
