Here’s the video for Twisted Road from the forthcoming album Psychedelic Pill.
And what a great video it is too, featuring Pocahontas before she sadly burned. Nice to see The Big ‘O’, The Grateful Dead and Bob as well. Is this gonna be the first single from the forthcoming album? 🙂
Enjoy!
Here’s the full version of Ramada Inn from Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s forthcoming album Psychedelic Pill. Enjoy. 🙂
Well, Neil’s new book Waging Heavy Peace finally arrived in the post today. Having just read the first chapter it’s just like having Neil in the room with you having a chat. Brilliant stuff!
Interesting to note that of David Crosby Neil says “there is no one I know who loves making music more”. I have always wondered why Neil and Crosby haven’t recorded more music together let alone make an album together as a duo.
Arguably, Crosby has been the most prolific out of the individual CSN members over the last few years and still has a great set of pipes. I’ve always rated Crosby’s guitar playing and feel it’s unappreciated in some quarters. A Crosby/Young album would in my mind feature some lovely acoustic guitar interplay as well as some rocking numbers with Crosby’s lead vocals and Neil’s lead guitar work, a combination that’s been tragically under-utlised over the years.
And let’s not forget that Crosby had a massive influence on two of Neil’s best CSNY moments, namely Almost Cut My Hair and Ohio.
So, how about it boys?
A Rust Trilogy
From Neil’s website.
“The third episode of A Rust Trilogy, which began with Rust Never Sleeps in 1978, and continued with Weld in 1990, now concludes with Alchemy in 2012. Things have changed, yet they stay the same. Alchemy, like Rust and Weld, finds the boys at another stage of life’s journey. Time has taken its toll, yet the spirit seems unstoppable.”
Interesting that there’s no mention of Year Of The Horse which incidentally is by far the worst of the NY&CH live albums. Always a bit of a dirge-fest for me. Rust Never Sleeps and Weld are classics however. I’ve still got the NME’s review of Weld somewhere where they gave it 10/10 and called it the best live rock album ever. I wouldn’t disagree with that. I can still remember the first time I blasted it out at home when I got in from work. Went to my bedroom, fired up my amplifier and Denon CD player and the first notes of Hey Hey, My My came blasting out. I was struck by two things. How much slower this version of HH,MM was and also Neil’s voice, it sounded a bit tired and worn. And yet, twenty-one years later and with some amazing new songs such as Walk Like A Giant, we’re embarking on another chapter in Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s fascinating story with a new tour and album. Here’s a couple of cool tour posters for ALCHEMY.
Neil gave a fascinating interview with Terri Gross on NPR Fresh Air discussing his new book Waging Heavy Peace. It also includes a little preview of another song from the forthcoming album Psychedelic Pill, namely the wonderful For The Love Of Man.
Have a listen here.

Neil Young And Crazy Horse to Release New Album ‘Psychedelic Pill’ on October 30th!
And this is what Uncut magazine’s John Mulvey had to say about it:-
“First up; it’s great, though I’m conscious of being someone with an enormously high tolerance of Neil Young’s self-indulgences, especially when he has the bedraggled might of Crazy Horse in tow. Trying to place “Psychedelic Pill”’s excellence into some canonical ranking doesn’t make a whole deal of sense to me, in much the same way as it feels a bit pointless trying to measure up “Tempest” against “Blonde On Blonde”. Young’s 35th studio set is best understood as the next chapter in what has been an eccentric and compelling last decade of music-making, with this time (unlike on “Americana”) a lot of extended jams to satisfy my favourite NY cravings.”
