Neil Young : Songs For Judy

Can't wait for this release!

 

I'm almost finished a long overdue re-read of Jimmy McDonough's exceptional bio, Shakey: Neil Young's Biography and a thought crossed my mind: When he was doing his rap, I wonder if Mr. Young was thinking about arguably the most prominent woman in his life.

 

This is going to be a great release. I know that there is no shortage of live acoustic Neil Young available, but this set is from a much later date and includes many songs that we haven't heard live on official releases. And I'm glad it's got 22 songs--it's not skimpy like a few other PS releases.

 

Really feels like a stopgap product. It's not like there were online petitions saying "release the 76 acoustic solo performances!" Still, Archive releases are always welcome.

 

Just bought mine. Down to £9.99 on Amazon UK.

 

Unlike the people here?

 

It's the 'Neil Young is God and don't let anyone say any different' that gets me (and I'm a fan.)

 

Thrashers Wheat is a scary place. I wonder what Neil thinks of it.

 

Believe me Thrashers Wheat is a lot more righteous and intolerant of anyone who criticises any aspect of Neil than anything you would see here-including Beatles threads!

 

There are Beatles threads here?

 

Well, if he posted a comment there, they'd probably boot him off the forum not showing sufficient respect for Neil Young....

 

Thrashers Wheat is a good site, and over the years it has been a great community. It has lost a lot of traffic, but I think that's primarily attributable to Neil's declining popularity.

Anyone who considers themselves to be Neil Young fans should be thankful for Thrashers Wheat, both yesterday and today!

Q&A with Joel Bernstein about the album

Neil Young: "He was just moving so far ahead" - Uncut

 

I pre-ordered the CD from Amazon, expected out 11/30/18. Amazon is now saying it won't ship until 12/5/18. Hopefully my local indie will have it in stock on Friday 11/30/18 as I'm jonesin' for some new Neil Young! All other retailers and NYA still say 11/30 as the release date.

LP is expected on 12/14/18.

 

Bull Moose has them, shipping tomorrow.

 

The album is streaming on NYA tomorrow.

 

Saw the CD in Glasgow's Monorail at lunchtime today for £11.99.

 

there's a leak online.

 

Will this be available in hi-res?

 

me too, along with a couple of other things. the other stuff shipped, but the neil young has no arrival date given.......weird.

 

yes.

on NYA today.

 

Man this is too cute:

I got word that Neil was going to play at the last concert for The Band at Winterland and could I do guitars for him and for Bob and Joni. I set up rehearsal for Bob and The Band at their hotel through the afternoon, which was stunning. I was the only person who got to hear it until Neil came in, hours and hours later. I can remember them playing “Forever Young” and Neil sitting in the corner, punching the air on the word “Young”. “Forever YOUNG!”
