ANALYSIS: What Harvest Time Reveals About Neil Young

 

Back in 2020, Neil Young announced a new "Weld Series" planned for Neil Young Archives and the full concert of Neil Young & Crazy Horse in Buffalo, 1991 is now streaming on demand on MovieTone | NYA

"LIKE A HURRICANE" (encore) by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, New York - 1991-02-16

1991 Buffalo's "LIKE A HURRICANE" 12+ minute encore and considered to be "Mind Blowing" -- even by Neil himself.  Be sure to watch last few seconds of the encore from the CRAZY HORSE - BUFFALO WAR MEMORIAL film with  a very special treat for those with eyes open to see for. HINT: It shows the calm in the eye after the storm and will break every rusties heart.

Two recordings from Buffalo concert are on the live album "WELD" -- the "stunning towering majesty" of an electric Bob Dylan cover of "Blowin 'In The Wind" and the "Mind Blowing" encore of "Like A Hurricane".

Rolling Stone's Andy Greene writes: "It’s Young at his Godfather of Grunge prime and a great gift for fans stuck in their homes."

The following comment was posted by the ever so faithful and fearless Scotsman:

The long-awaited video of Like A Hurricane from Weld is now streaming on NYA.

One of the greatest Crazy Horse live performances ever (admittedly there are a fair few others, maybe several thousand).

If (for some strange reason) I had to pick just one officially released Crazy Horse track, this would be it.

It really is an incredible performance that just builds up to an outrageous level of intensity. Set aside 13 minutes this evening and watch it; then set aside an hour to get your breath back.

The complete Buffalo 1991 show is set for its premiere on Sunday. Stay home and enjoy it.

As mentioned, the 1st release from the "Weld Series" will be from Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, New York, on 1991-02-16. A preview clip was posted on NYA of "Campaigner" from Buffalo which indicates that this will be a performance oriented release concert as opposed to the original WELD release which contained vast amounts of audience reaction. Apparently, Manager Elliot Roberts was quite opposed to the WELD editing that favored audience over band. Neil seems to be correcting this decision by saying: "Well Elliot, you got it. Better late than never my old friend."

"How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."

Comment of The Moment: "World Record" - Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse

The Comment of The Moment is on the new album "World Record" - Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse by The Metamorphic Rocker:

Thoughts on World Record (unsure where to post at this stage, so they end up here).

After finally having the chance for uninterrupted, close listening, I find Dan's initial take right on. Funnily enough, I last listened to the album while dog-walking, inadvertently mirroring Neil's theme of creating the music while walking. Maybe this is the best way to experience the album, while on the move. Admittedly, this means one doesn't necessarily have access to hi-fi audio equipment while listening. Nonetheless--if FITR is driving music, these are walking songs.

I doubt anyone can add much to scotzman's account of Chevrolet. For me, however, the first nine songs fit together so completely, so organically and symmetrically, as a unit of music that by the time we get to Chevrolet, my most powerful impression of the album has already occurred. Much as Chevrolet is a creature unto itself, side by side by side with the rest of World Record, it feels like icing on the cake, gilding the lily--in the best possible way.

Although the 3LP/2CD configuration is questionable on a couple of levels, my assumption is that Neil (for sound artistic reasons) wanted Chevrolet to stand on its own. That is certainly the effect of putting it on a separate disc, especially when the preceding songs fit together in such an organic way. (One or two indy bands have curated music this way and called it a "double EP", incidentally.)

As usually seems to be the case for me, there are a couple of particularly wonderful songs that others are inclined to overlook. I'm thinking of Overhead and The World (is in Trouble Now). The former is a pure burst of sunny enthusiasm of the soul. The latter, with its shuffling rhythms and bluesy, lurching pump organ, has a different kind of immediacy, an earthy, angsty jumble of impressions that ends up wrestling with existential fears and fundamental questions:

"Because the earth has held me so, I never will let go--I never will let go..." I interpret this as the will to live, the desire to act, even in the face of the inevitable. Songs like this one, Break the Chain, and I Walk with You (Earth Ringtone) deal with liminal spaces between life and death. I Walk with You is the most refined, but The World (is in Trouble Now) is my favorite, perhaps because of its precipitous rawness.

On I Walk with You, for instance, I don't know how anyone can listen to the lumbering, swampy, sawing guitars and not feel the weight of the song. That's without even getting into the words, which should speak for themselves (the mix does occasionally bury vocals but when in doubt, the lyric sheet is your friend).

"Walk with me now to the ends of the earth and you'll see what the damage can be... the end of wars/the price of life/the cost of care/the toll of strife."

The best moments of World Record, like this one, show a mutuality between words and music, where each component makes the most of the other to create a meaningful whole. At the least, I challenge anyone to really pay attention to the words without concluding that some major statements are being made. The primary one being to "love earth and your love comes back to you."

Lastly, despite some comments to the contrary, I don't think it takes special effort to get this experience out of Neil's recent music. At least, no more effort than is required to listen to any music closely, with attention to the whole as well as individual parts.

Thanks for much for the CotM Meta Rocker. Good concluding points.  We made a similar response on the The Old Grey Cat review about reaction to WR: "So open your ears and heart, and give World Record a listen" is really the only way to approach Neil.

Rick Rubin and Neil Young Discuss Life, Inspiration, and Craft | Broken Record

Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond

From Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam, and Justin Richmond. The musicians you love talk about their life, inspiration, and craft. 

 

From  Broken Record:

If Broken Record had an all-star list, Neil Young would be at the top. 

He’s been on the show three times now, and his legendary body of work has been brought up by more musicians interviewed on our show than any other artist—except maybe Joni Mitchell. 

That’s because Neil is a true artist’s artist. 

His dedication to his craft is resolute. He’s been writing and singing songs since the early '60s and his creative output has been near constant for the last six decades. Neil stopped by Shangri-La following the release of Crazy Horse’s latest album, World Record. The album was produced by Rick Rubin, and on today’s episode, Neil talks to Rick about the remarkable way the new songs were conceived.

Neil also reminisces about recording After The Gold Rush and Harvest. 

And he explains how THC changes his relationship to music.

REVIEW: Finding the Way into Neil Young's "World Record"

World Record - Neil Young & Crazy Horse


OK, folks, here's a rare treat with a review of Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse's new album "World Record" by the inimitable and irrepressible Scotsman.

---

Finding the way into Neil Young's World Record

by Scotsman

Where to start? The world is a big place… and World Record is a big album. 

So let's start with just one song. 

Let's start with Chevrolet. Let's take a look under the hood of this song… examine the nuts and bolts and pistons!

And then we'll take it for a ride.

As usual, it's the little details that make all the difference. In Chevrolet, the song's narrator is imagining he's gripping the *ivory* steering wheel. He's *shifting* gears, and *rolling* down the window. 

He's *wandering* the highway with that *ancient nomad*.

The Chevrolet's paint is *gleaming*.

Take a second to notice how these personality-filled words (or combinations of words) bring the lyric to life. 

"Ivory", for example, might look like a five-letter word. Actually, it's a bundle of creative dynamite!

Neil gives us the key to this song, and we gladly hop in behind the wheel. His passion becomes ours. We can feel the gas-guzzling V8 engine throbbing in front of us.

Guess what? Most folks are saying that Chevrolet is the best song on World Record.

Guess what? I think it is, too. It's a cracker. 

Why? Not because it has that reassuring Crazy Horse sound, but because it's one of the songs on World Record that really makes an effort to *connect* with the listener. 

(That's what Crazy Horse do. They grab us through the speakers. And it works best when the songwriter shows up with the foundation of *songs* that aim to connect, too.)

Still with me? Now we've dived into the guts of the engine, let's take a broader look at Chevrolet. 

In fact, let's do better than that. Let's jump in, right now, and turn the keys in the ignition. How does it feel to take a ride?

The song takes us back to when we were all young and innocent. Back when Neil made Zuma or Ragged Glory or Psychedelic Pill — travelling with David Briggs (or his ghost, perhaps) in a vintage Chevrolet alongside the sun-drenched Malibu beaches. 

We're back in the good old days, when a cool car was just a cool car. (Similarly, meat was just a tasty food on our plates... and we may even have made remarks that today would be identifiable as sexist, racist or homophobic.)

The celebratory guitar sound of Chevrolet instantly brings that free-flying nostalgia to mind — and that's no accident.

Back then, we didn't even know about destructive carbon emissions. 

(We didn't know about the grisly horrors inside slaughterhouses, either. Even the ones that the organically-farmed animals are sent to). 

But now, we do. The switch has been flicked. And we can't unlearn what we now know about the impact our daily decisions have. 

It's all about making mistakes when we didn't even know they were mistakes. We regret them, we move on. We grow. 

We can still enjoy nostalgia, though — with a bitter-sweet touch of regret!

The best of both worlds.

The sometimes ethereal, sometimes tortured, sometimes near-orgasmic shrieks of noise from Neil's Les Paul guitar (and the vocal harmonies) are the glorious soundtrack to all of this. Amidst the classic Crazy Horse guitar soloing that makes us feel it's 1975 (or 1996 or 2003) all over again. 

Whew! And that's just one song. Chevrolet. Complete with predictably-masterful second guitar from Nils Lofgren.

But how about the others? 

The other songs are mostly an inside-line to Neil's thoughts. Everything is jotted down... no editing. 

The result for the listener as an *outsider*, though, is that the signal intermittently gets lost among the static. 

That's always what happens when ideas aren't  filtered. Worst case scenario: the wheat and the chaff are mashed together until the wheat is no longer wheat at all! 

So when folks write that World Record is "ok", "not bad", "pleasant enough", etc.... What they really mean is that they haven't really been given much to go on. They're outsiders. 

They're being invited to peer in through a window into an event that wasn't even created with them in mind. 

So it is what it is! I don't think the album as a whole grabs us as vividly as Greendale does, because there's no real engaging narrative — no sustained effort to connect with or reward the listener. 

Instead, *you* have to make an effort to get into the songwriter's mindset. Find a dangling thread from the song's lyric, and start climbing it. Then it works.

You do the work, so he doesn't have to. 

That's *lyrically*.

*Musically*, it makes every effort to connect. It's one of the punchiest, freshest sounding Neil Young records in recent times. 

In particular, it feels like a 10-year layer of dust and grime has been dug out from the inside of the microphones. 

And the use (and abuse) of the pump organ, distorto-harmonica and octave-divided electric guitar is as inventive—and as thrilling—as ever. 

Crazy Horse is still the best band in the world — and I'll stand on Bruce Springsteen's manager's coffee table and say that. (I'll say it until he lets Nils Lofgren go on tour with Neil... hypothetically, of course!).

But the songs are the foundation. And oftentimes on World Record, it sounds like the songwriter is in two minds. 

Does he want to write songs that vividly connect with the listener (even if that listener is himself)? Or does he instead want to *meditate*, where connection is besides the point?  

It results in a sort of "neither here nor there" effect which does dampen some (only some) of World Record's formidable gunpowder. 

And then we listen to Chevrolet.

And without warning, the songwriter sticks in the knife and jolts us to life. 

He turns the key in the ignition. Turns back the years, too.

We're gliding along the sun-drenched highway once again, and the road feels good. *We* feel good. But something more disturbing lurks beneath the surface. 

Scotsman.

Comment of the Moment: "World Record" by Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse

World Record - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

(now available for order here. Please shop locally & independently. But if you can't, we appreciate your supporting Thrasher's Wheat by clicking this link or YOUR COUNTRY's FLAG up @ top. Thank you!!!)

Last week, Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse's new album "World Record" dropped.

As 1st listens continue, initial reactions are pouring in -- as usual here @ TW.  So without further ado, our Comment of the Moment: "World Record" by Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse by Dan:

Just finished my first trip through World Record on clear vinyl, and this might take some time, so I apologize in advance for the lengthy post. When Colorado was released I was completely impressed with the entire album. Great lyrics, ebb and flow, and the distinctive sound of Crazy Horse in full gallop. Then came Barn, which I considered a perfect record. Loose, in the moment, and filled with heart.

As I’m sure most everyone here knows, Neil doesn’t make hits, he makes statements. Sometimes he swings and misses, sometimes he hits it into the stratosphere….this is one of those. Much like Psychedelic Pill, World Record is sequenced brilliantly. Every song feels like an introduction into the next. This is a record that needs to be heard on a nice sound system in its entirety, completely uninterrupted……and LOUD! This one has as much staying power as any of the legendary classics Neil has blessed us with over the decades. I can honestly place it in the same category as Sleeps With Angels, Tonight’s the Night, Ragged Glory, Rust Never Sleeps, On The Beach…..etc. etc. etc.

This album contains everything we’ve come to admire from these guys. Odd time signatures, wobbly vocals, unexpected instrument choices, and epic guitar work. Lyrically Neil has brought out the turn of phrase that has separated him from most lyricists. A few examples ….”Take some time to live before you die, cause the wonder won’t wait. No the wonder won’t wait for you to stand outside yourself”…..or… “On the true days, and the Lyin’ days. Where the crowd stays, and the purple haze is floating down from the sky, that’s where it shows”….or….. “ Take my life towards the endless flow, and move me with the night. I’m beyond the time I had to know, I’m waiting out of sight”. These are just a few samples of what I heard on first listen, and the lyric sheet contains them all. Neil said that he sat at the computer (which he’s never done) and just let the words come without any thought, and boy does he deliver.

Musically; everything makes sense within the context of the whole, but a few stand outs on first listen are, Love Earth, This Old Planet, Break the Chain, The Wonder Won’t Wait, and Chevrolet……which I hope someday we will hear the unedited version. These songs are all Neil in top form, and Crazy Horse is honestly the ONLY band that could pull this off with such commitment and spirit.
The Horse magic is on full display throughout….and lest we forget….. Rick Rubin. His influence is not to be overlooked, as he seems to have a magic touch with everyone he works with, and this record would have certainly sounded much different without him. I hope that he and Neil can work together again someday, they just seem like they understand each other, and they have created a masterpiece of a record. I understand that the word masterpiece gets overused a lot, but this one deserves the title. If someone wants to understand what I mean, they only need to sit down with this album with a nice stereo system, crank it up, and listen all the way through. Case closed.

Peace 🙏

Thanks so much Dan for the comment. Perceptive and intriguing.  So, "a masterpiece"?!  Lofty praise, indeed. 

We're not ready to declare as such just yet.  As you know, we've always waited awhile --sometime years -- before making a definitive declaration.  In a way, that's where we've always found the beauty of Neil's music.  That once it sinks in, it will stick, sometimes forever.  In the meantime, we're enjoying "World Record" in a somewhat bifurcated fashion w/ the early preview tracks and some interrupted stream listens.  We still need the proper full play, start to finish in order.

Rick Rubin, Neil Young & Zane Lowe
(Click photo to enlarge)

Neil Young and record producer Rick Rubin sit down with Zane Lowe for an intimate conversation at  Shangri La Studios in Malibu, California.  

In the interview, they discuss the upcoming album 'World Record', benefits and challenges of recording on tape, and debate the pros and cons of digital versus analog methods of making music.

 

From Rock Cellar Magazine:

Young on his seemingly relentless focus on releasing new music decades into his career:

“I don’t care. I figured that’s why they like it, because I don’t care. It’s what I have to do. I want to do this. That’s why there’s 51, 52 albums because I want to do this and I can still feel it. I’d be crazy to stop.”

Reuniting with Rubin for World Record:

“So all these songs started like that. 8 out of 10 of them started with the melody, with no instrument. No words, no instrument, no chord changes. That is significantly, completely in another zone, and not thought of or sitting down to feel anything…just walking. So then I started thinking maybe four, five months later it might be nice to go to do some stuff. I’d written a couple of other songs and one of them was Chevrolet. I just finished that and I was back here and I said, “God, it’d be nice to get in the studio and do some stuff.” Checked it out and the Horse was ready to go. And so I called and I booked the studio and I said, “God, that was easy. Usually you can’t get in this place.” I mean, I’m going, I got it, it’s three days later. I was very, very lucky to get this place again. So, here I am and then I said, “Well, I’m going to call Rick now,” because I thought of Rick right away. I’m going, “Who’s going to help me do this?” And so, I thought of Rick because he’s here, it’s his place. So, there we did. We’ve done things before, but we’ve never completed a record before, which doesn’t mean anything because the things we did, we remember. And we remember what they felt like, so that’s our history. It’s not about what records came out. So, musically we are very similar… it just seemed like the right thing. So, I told him the story of whistling and doing this stuff, and then writing the songs in two days, all of the songs were finished in two days… It’s so weird, it was the weirdest project.”

Why he avoids social media:

“It scares the shit out of me. I don’t like to go to social media. I don’t like to get involved in that and the back and forth of one celebrity against another celebrity to do as a certain kind of people. I mean, who cares? There’s so many more important things than that to think about today if you really want to look at what’s happening. Again, even as I’m saying that, I can feel like, whoa, you’ve said that so many times already. People know that, but people don’t really know it well enough to act on it. I keep going back to the same old thing and it’s going to be the death of me pretty soon. I probably have to stop doing that. Ya… Fuck them if they can’t take a joke.”

 (Click photo to enlarge) 

From Inside Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s New LP ‘World Record’: ‘The Rock Gods Were With Us’ | Rolling Stone by Andy Greene:

Billy Talbot:

“We got into this magical space together.  And the rock & roll gods were with us the whole time.”

“Poncho brought so much to the table, and we really miss him. 

He’ll always be a part of Crazy Horse. But when he was in the group, we weren’t doing many ‘Heart of Gold’-style [acoustic] songs. With Nils in there with us, we can do that. Neil can get on the pump organ or piano, we can play along, and that spirit comes out where we’re like, ‘We can do this too.'”

 ... 

Nils Lofgren: “The idea of using a producer means turning over control.

That’s not something in Neil’s nature. He used Rick as a guide. It was never like, ‘You’ve got to do it this way.’ That’s just not going to work with Neil, and Rick knows that. But he would sometimes say things like, ‘Why don’t you try that one on acoustic guitar?’ or ‘Try going down a different road on this one.’ 

Billy Talbot: “Rick is a real music fan.

He likes authentic things, things that happen naturally. He was really good for us.” 

 ... 

Young has floated the idea in the past that Micah Nelson might sub in for Lofgren on a Crazy Horse tour. 

Nils Lofgren: “I’ve seen Promise of the Real play with Neil, and they’re fabulous. 

But look, I just made this great record. I think it’s the best of the last three with Neil and Crazy Horse. It bums me out talking about being replaced for a tour.” 

Talbot says that he’s heard nothing about future Crazy Horse shows, with or without Lofgren. 

Billy Talbot:  “I’d like to play some of these new songs, and some of the old ones.

But we really miss Poncho, and now Nils is going to be busy. Micah’s name has been mentioned. I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked.

It would be great if we could make an album with him before we did shows, though.”
