My Favorite Album is a podcast on the impact great music has on our lives. Each episode features a guest on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their history with the album and how it’s influenced them.

From My Favorite Album #227 - Elizabeth Cook on Neil Young's ‘Zuma’ (1975) | MrJeremyDylan:

Sharp of tongue and deep of soul, one of Nashville’s most compelling singer-songwriters joins me to talk about an underrated Neil Young and Crazy Horse classic, ‘Zuma’.

We talk about how Elizabeth discovered the album on a road trip, the elusive concision of Young’s lyrics, how this record defines a certain version of his sound, how the album documents the end of Neil Young’s creative grieving over guitarist Danny Whitten, how Elizabeth wants to steer her future recordings in a Neil-ward direction and what it was like to be a witness to the taping of the ‘Heart of Gold’ concert film.

So is this Elizabeth Cook interview yet another connection to the ZUMA Payload for SpaceX Rocket? Maybe so? Elizabeth Cook's discussion of the time-travel themes on ZUMA clearly tie into some of our discussion here recently involving "Hitchhiker" and "The Visitor".

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - 1975

Neil Young & Crazy Horse 1975 album ZUMA, of course, contains the classic track "Cortez The Killer". The song is the evocative story of the European explorer Cortez "searching for that palace in the sun", while Aztec emperor Montezuma "often wandered with the secrets of the world".
