Neil Young song draft

[Erik]

He's credited playing the banjo on "For the Turnstiles," but I don't know if it was a real banjo or a "guitjo."

James Taylor played the banjo part on the studio version of "Old Man." Neil's guitar tech, Larry Cragg, plays it when Neil performs it live.

And I'm not a bit surprised that you would know all of that.

"For the Turnstiles" is one of my favorites, both lyrically and musically, even though the instrumentation and arrangement are sparse.

My recollection is that it sounds like a banjo on that track, with the finger picking style, but I'll have to give it a fresh listen. Not that I need an excuse. I consider it a baseball song, even though there aren't that many baseball lyrics. Of course, the baseball verse ties everything together with the reference to turnstiles.

Can't bring back Bob without bringing back old Neil.

New Neil Young & Crazy Horse cover record called Americana coming out.

The video in that link has the entire record ... but it is likely area restricted. You can find a bunch of the songs on YouTube: Neil Young Americana

I'm sure you can find a US version around somewhere.

Must be memoir season or something ... this should be a great read

Neil Young has given up smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol to write his forthcoming memoir.

"I did it for 40 years," the singer told the New York Times. "Now I want to see what it's like to not do it. It's just a different perspective."

Also a new original record out at the end of Oct.

I have to say i am disappointed in his setlist for this tour. Simply not enough songs.

From an August show:

Love and Only Love
Powderfinger
Born In Ontario
Walk Like a Giant
The Needle and the Damage Done
(Neil Young solo)
Twisted Road
(Neil Young solo)
Ramada Inn
Cinnamon Girl
****in' Up
Psychedelic Pill
Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)
Encore:
Mr. Soul
(Buffalo Springfield song)
Roll Another Number

[Erik]

The new record consists of 9 songs over TWO CDs. That means most titles you don't recognize are probably somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes.

You can't expect quantity when he tours with Crazy Horse.

I'll have to pick this up on the way home. I just hope it's not on the top or bottom shelf of the bookstore! Hell will be unleashed.

Enjoy..

I am pretty sure I posted this somewhere before. I went back a few pages and did not see it in this thread.

I am surprised no one commented on this. Am I the only one who thinks this is funny and that Fallon was spot on?

I would love to hear Fallon and Young do something together.

Looking at the list, Rust Never Sleeps simply rules.

Johnny, you heard the new CSNY 1974 release yet? The version of Revolution Blues on there is stellar.

[Erik]

And finally an official release for "Pushed It Over the End"!

Nope, and this is the first I'm hearing of such a thing
