Nicolette Larson, Neil Young + Gone with the Wind Orchestra: Nashville Musician’s Union Hall - 1977

"Lotta Love"
Neil Young with Nicolette Larson, 1985

Folks may recall that we recently posted on the discrepancy on credits for the song "Daughters" as to whether background vocals are Nicolette Larson or  Emmylou Harris.

Then, we reported here last week, several major announcements regarding the Neil Young Archives Vol #3 - coming in 2022 - including:

  • A Snapshot in Time -  " 'Barefoot Floors' is also included on NYA Volume 3 in ‘a snapshot in time’ disc 3. This is a documentary tape of me playing the songs on stars n bars for Nicolette Larson, Linda Ronstadt and David Briggs before we went into the studio. I think it’s the best recording. It may have been done separately in the studio."
  • GIVE TO THE WIND - planned for NYA Volume 3, Disc 4. "We have the rehearsal tape done at the Nashville Musician’s Union Hall the previous day with Nicolette and I and the entire orchestra."


In today's Times-Contrarian | NYA,  Neil Young fondly recalls Nicolette Larson and the Gone with the Wind Orchestra sessions at Nashville Musician’s Union Hall in 1977. 

Nicolette’s voice and soul will live forever in my heart. She brought her love and spirit every time she sang with me or anyone else. When Ben Keith called her the best harmony singer he had ever heard, he was right. Nicolette loved to sing! Singing along with me once she said she could follow my voice anywhere it went.

Nicolette.

She once told me her friends would go with her on gravel roads, bumpy ones, in an old truck and “sing like Neil Young”, referring to my shaky vibrato and laughing as they flew down the bumpy road.

Neil Young continues that he is completing the long lost recording from the Nashville Musician’s Union Hall with the ‘Gone with the Wind Orchestra’.  Ten songs are planned for  NYA#3 disc "GIVE TO THE WIND".

"The Manager: ELLIOT ROBERTS" - Essay by Bill Bentley | NYA

Neil Young, Jonathan Demme & Elliot Roberts
(See Neil Young Journeys Film Premiere)
 
 
"Roberts, who would have been 78 on February 25, was someone who saw into the deepest center of life, behind the big curtain, and discovered that all things are possible. 
 
If you dream."
 
A major essay on Neil Young Archives on Elliot Roberts by Bill Bentley.
 
An excerpt follows.

 The Manager: ELLIOT ROBERTS 

by Bill Bentley

I'd already known Elliot twenty years during my time at Warner Bros./Reprise Records, where I was luckily a publicist for so many of the great artists of our time. 


David Geffen, Elliot Roberts, & Neil Young
Frame from  'Inventing David Geffen': American Masters
(See So What Makes Neil Young's Muse Tick?) 
 

During those two decades I came to understand that Elliot Roberts had cracked open his own code for how to live, and been able to find a perfect balance between chaos and order. And the day in '06 I was informed my Warner Bros. Records job was over, Elliot called and asked me to come to work for him and Neil Young. That's what we call winning the lottery in the music business. Nothing is worse in that profession than being unemployed, and to walk from a record label into Lookout was a time to shine. 

When I asked Elliot what I would be doing, he just laughed his mischievous laugh and said, "Don't worry. Neil and I will find something."

I had always been enamored by how Elliot Roberts' career had followed such a unique curve. His beginnings with Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, then the awe-inducing success of the Geffen-Roberts company, which included the start and quick ascent of Asylum Records as a record label of the future, were storied. David Geffen with Elliot Roberts had birthed a place that let them establish a new community for not only those they represented, but even better allowed them to fashion their own universe, one where they could define the limits of life in the 20th century and enjoy a view very few others had seen. It reminded me of some of the eccentric cowboys I once met as a child at the YMCA summer camp in the Texas hill country in the 1950s. These wise travelers had lived on their horses their whole lives, and weren't about to adapt to a place where they'd have to answer to others. They'd created a way of seeing their place in life, based on an honor system of hard work and virtue. I'd hang around them in the horse stalls when they were working, listening to how they talked and what they had discovered. It wasn't that different when I worked at Lookout Management. I'd listen to Elliot talk and watch how he interacted with people, and think of those Texas cowboys. 

They had something no one else did, and were envied for it because of the freedom they'd earned and how they used it.

The Geffen-Roberts management company had created its own perch in the music business, where they could build the community they wanted to be in and let others come to them there. The pair would wade into a business full of old attitudes and out-of-date practices, and turn it around to how they felt it should be. Where the artist was at the top of the decision-chain, and their freedom ranked above all else. It didn't happen overnight, but that was the beauty of what Roberts and Geffen and others in the new brigade were building. They did it because it was right, and they did it because it was fun. The money was no doubt important in the equation, but it wasn't driving the train. No one could have predicted where the business of music was going, but the early pioneers in this new gestalt were going to be the ones who took it there.

There is a well-told legend of how Elliot Roberts first came to be Neil Young's manager in 1968. Near the end of Buffalo Springfield, Roberts took over the manager position with the band. But at a group meeting in 1968, Young told the manager he was fired. Gone. The next morning Elliot heard a knock on his Laurel Canyon front door, and there was Young, who came in, told Elliot he was leaving Buffalo Springfield and asked if Elliot would manage him. Which he did for more than 50 years. Without a written contract. 

As Elliot once told me, "Contracts can just be torn up, and then everyone ends up suing each other. What's the point of that?"

Mo Ostin Discusses Neil Young & David Geffen' | PBS American Masters Archive

Mo Ostin - October 7, 2009
Inventing David Geffen |  PBS | American Masters


As noted recently, a rather significant announcement, PBS American Masters Archive Releases 1,000+ Hours of Uncut, Never-Before-Seen Interviews: Patti Smith, David Bowie, Neil Young & More. 

 

David Geffen, Elliot Roberts, & Neil Young
Frame from  'Inventing David Geffen': American Masters
(See So What Makes Neil Young's Muse Tick?) 
 

In December 2012, PBS | American Masters broadcast the documentary film "Inventing David Geffen. American Masters: Inventing David Geffen is "an unflinching portrait of Geffen, who narrates his unorthodox rise from working class Brooklyn boy to billionaire entertainment power broker in extensive interviews." 

Interviewees include Neil Young, Elliot Roberts, David Crosby, Henry Diltz, Gary Burden, Mo Ostin and many others.

From the unaired interview with Mo "The Sleaze" Ostin, Warner Bros Executive, (listen to song "Surfer Joe And Moe the Sleaze") on working with Geffen and his clients, Neil Young and his manager Elliot Roberts. (Ed. note, unedited raw transcript @ ~2:43:00)

Mo Ostin:  [Geffen] sued Neil [Young] because he thought that Neil wasn't making commercial records.

[Geffen] was so intense and so passionate about having successful records. That he might have become myopic, you know? And Neil turned in a record that [Geffen] thought was not commercial. And he was paying him [Young] a huge advance. And [Geffen] thought "I shouldn't be paying that kind of advance for the records he's delivering."

And he told Neil to make another record. I don't know whether Neil made an effort at that or not. But Neil continued to record.

I guess he didn't feel Neil was making the change. And so he stopped funding the record. And sued him.

Interviewer: How do you think that a move like that affected his image in the music business?

Mo Ostin: You know, Neil was revered. And musically respected, not only on the critical level, but by all of his musical peers. [The lawsuit] could not have sat well with them.

Interviewer:  I mean, how do you think what David did affected his image? I'm dumbfounded he'd do that.

Mo Ostin: I guess he didn't think about it. I mean, I guess he was just so involved. Having realized that he had been losing money. He hated the idea of losing money, including other people's money. He never wanted to lose money.

And there was these jokes going on about the Titanic, who had a better band, you know, that kind of stuff.

And so, you know, I think he just was doing everything he possibly could to rectify and right the ship

...

Interviewer: A number of people have told us that there's one thing that David Geffen probably regrets most is suing Neil Young.

Mo Ostin: Yeah. And I believe that they made up.

That's also what's great about him [Geffen] is the fact that he owns up to his mistakes.

A Very Happy Valentine's Day To Our Hearts of Gold: "We Miss & Love You All!"



Happy Valentine's Day!

It's been roughly 45+ years now since Neil Young's immortal song "Heart of Gold" entered our lives, and we'd like to wish that every day could be Valentine's Day.

And no Neil Young song seems to say Happy Valentine's Day more than "Harvest Moon" it would seem by gauging the song's popularity as a "First Dance" song.

So there comes a time for a delightfully heart-warming little love story or ...Understanding Neil Young's Music.


Love And Only Love
(Via Rusted Moon)

Often, we've found ourselves trying to explain Neil Young's music to others with varying degrees of success. In the end, we find that his music isn't really something that can be explained.

While we've expended quite a few words on this blog making an attempt, it really is the stories of others which transcend the gap much better.
