Rick James and Neil Young: Drawn and Recorded



As everyone knows, there is a very interesting history between Neil Young and Rick James.

And if you are not up to speed on the incredible back story of Neil Young and Rick James, then you are in luck because an edition of Spotify's series "Drawn & Recorded" tackles the subject as only an animation series could possibly do.

Producer T-Bone Burnett, along with illustrator Drew Christie and TV producer Bill Flanagan, tell the tragic story of the band "The Mynah Birds", back in Toronto in 1966 where Neil Young played together with the future funk legend known as "Superfreak" Rick James.

For more details on this arrangement, also see Rick James, Neil Young and The Mynah Birds.

Keepin' jive alive in T.O.

    Without the dogged persistence of the Military Police to catch their man there would be no The Buffalo Springfield, or ironically, CSN&Y singing Ohio.

    I think it's cool both Neil & he were signed to Motown. It shows you what kind of record label they were starting out. Check out the Chappelle interview. It's hilarious. Last I saw him was at a funky Farm Aid concert.
