Neil Young thinking about Crazy Horse
It seems certain that Neil Young will tour this summer with David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. But in terms of recording he's already thinking about his follow-up to last year's Grammy-nominated Prairie Wind. Young said he's leaning in more of an electric direction, probably with his band Crazy Horse: "I'm so into Prairie Wind and Heart Of Gold, and I've been there for a year and we've been doing all this. And now sometimes I wake up and I just hear this massive, you know, distorted, crunching, hideous noise, and it makes me feel like I'm going home to a place that is ready for me when I get there."
Heart Of Gold is a concert documentary filmed by Jonathan Demme last August in Nashville. It's in the midst of a theatrical run and will be released on DVD in June.
Young's last album with Crazy Horse was 2003's Greendale, though the recording did not include guitarist-keyboardist Frank "Pancho" Sampedro. The last full-scale Crazy Horse album was 1997's Year Of The Horse.

Hypothetical question.
Would Neil have made a great Rolling Stone? |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Yes.
Neil is just great, so he woulda made a great Rolling Stone.
Neil also reveres the Stones, so he woulda tried to make it work.
Keith would love playing with Neil.
Neil would love having rock steady Chaz playing behind him.
Oh yeah, Neil woulda been a great Rolling Stone. |

Absolutly agree with you there Essy. Neil would have been a great Stone. Funny that this would come up as I'm listening to Rust Never Sleeps as I type.

"Welfare Mothers" would fit right in in Dirty Work. |

It's always a good thing when Neil lets The Horse outta the barn... |

Yep... Neil....is the one of the few artists that still takes himself seriously. That's because he can. |

Apparently Neil was almost a member of Ron Wood's New Barbarians. He even came up with the name. Unfortunately Neil had his own things to be doing (didn't he do, like, nothing in '79?), so it never happened. But what a wonderful little combo that would have been. |

Good news. Can't wait for the first true Crazy Horse w/Neil album in a decade. As a big Neil fan, I was getting kinda tired of his mostly acoustic direction in the last 10 years. Seems he is a bit too. I remember on Conan he said some weren't fond of his current direction and he added "about 100 people in North America" were upset with it. Time for Neil to crank up the watts and create a rip-roaring grunge garage rock classic again. Though Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina played on Greendale, it was essentially a concept album with only a bit of loudness. He hasn't done the electric thing the traditional Neil way since Mirrorball with Pearl Jam. And Sleeps with Angels remains his last great album for me. |

This is fantastic news. NY & Crazy Horse, very cool. I love NY almost as much as I love the Stones.He never ceases to amaze me - the fact that he is still churning out quality albums. Silver & Gold is brilliant - it's got such a Harvest vibe to it.
Has Mr Young been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame yet? |
