Further proof that Neil Young and Crazy Horse are an under-acknowledged influence on grunge-era alternative rock, the self-titled debut by the New York City trio 700 Miles is basically a tribute to Young's mid-'70s era, especially Zuma and On the Beach. Singer/guitarist John Carlin wisely doesn't try to sing like Young, but there's absolutely no mistaking the guitar sound.<p>John Carlin formed Next Big Thing in the late '80s, an alternative rock group that had dynamic music that did not quite fit into the depressing vibe of the musical climate of the time. When the band left its native New York City to record their first album in Detroit, they renamed themselves 700 Miles after the length of the drive between the two cities. The eponymous album was released by RCA in 1992, but failed to gain the record-buying public's attention. The band took one more shot at it with 1994's Dirtbomb, but the failure of the album combined with creative differences took the band apart the next year.
