Honestly I think the best song Neil wrote in recent years is the one about his Amazon Echo. Let's chip in and buy him a Nest thermostat.
Excited Tyler!
Also if he shelves Hitchhiker and puts out some terrible Promise of the Real

he's the musician most likely to pull a Lucas and re-record the ditch trilogy w/PotR, saying "now it sounds like it was intended to", pulling all old copies off the shelf and replacing them with the new ones.

never mind neil's new song, here's 30 murky minutes of "Down by the River" in 1970. https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/162630277837/down-by-the-river-neil-young-crazy-horse

Many XPs Yeah, he patched things up with Bolas back in the mid-00s, and they worked some of his albums from that time (iirc, Living With War, Chrome Dreams II, that LincVolt album etc...) and are again working together.

It's a crap song, but that Children of Destiny is really immaculately recorded in how the electric band mixes with the orchestral stuff. Kind of a waste of a real big budget recording, which doesn't happen that much like this now except for film soundtracks etc. I'd love to hear something like that done with say Gil Evans arrangements of Hendrix or something like that.
― earlnash, Thursday, 6 July 2017 22:21 (seven years ago) link
yeah, true, I'd love to hear Neil just blasting against a big orchestra, and not doing these doofy anthems (which seem to be what he wants to do when he has a bunch of people in a room). maybe someone bootlegged them soundchecking or something.
― tylerw, Thursday, 6 July 2017 22:31 (seven years ago) link
This is terrific - you know that part in Shakey where he mentions being really into Coltrane around the 1970 tour? I can hear him aping that influence a bit here. Much more innaresting than the Fillmore shows. 02-28-70 is a good show too, only performance of Oh, Lonesome Me.
― whitehallunity, Friday, 7 July 2017 14:22 (seven years ago) link
Fillmore shows are pretty godlike, but yeah, some more exploratory things at the Philly show (and later on a tape of a show in Santa Monica). what a good band.
looks like Hitchhiker is on the schedule officially for next month

I think we all need to praise Uncut for having the guts to run a 20,000 word piece about "Doghouse" on the cover!

Sam Beam: At first, I thought "How can I possibly do justice to such a towering masterpiece like 'Doghouse?' Then I was like fuck it, and did a hushed version with fingerpicked acoustic guitar and whispered vocals."
― tylerw, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 16:42 (seven years ago) link
Bryan Ferry: I was in Cannes, I can't remember the reason, but I was miserable about something, spending all sitting out by the pool and when I heard this music playing out of a little transistor radio. Strangest thing, just a radio sitting there, no one around. Anyway the song was "Doghouse" by Neil Young. I was blown away. I immediately booked studio time and recorded it as a single. It was my biggest hit in years!
