Details on Uncut Magazine Neil Young Cover - February 2023

Neil YoungUncut Magazine - February 2023  (Click photo to enlarge) 

The February 2023 issue of Uncut Magazine features Neil Young on the cover.

The issue has an interview with Neil about his 2022 -- Barn, Toast, World Record, the Harvest film documentary, along with a look ahead to 2023.

 

"He never stops and fades away"

 

So what would Nils Lofgren of Crazy Horse like to see released in Neil Young’s Archive Series? Outtakes of Trans recorded in Hawaii, he tells Mojo magazine. (Thanks Harrison!) Maybe “Johnny’s Island”, as Neil has alluded? (thanks John H!)

Also, Neil Young says:

“I got a lot of stuff to clean up.

I’ve got a big mess that I left behind. I’ve created a lot of unfinished records, unfinished this and that. I now have the time to deal with it, focus on it.

But at the same time, anything new takes precedent—always. Once I start thinking about something new, I drop the old stuff right away and do the new thing.”

Producer Rick Rubin, who also worked on World Record and portions of Toast, said that Young isn’t the most conventional record maker.

“Time doesn’t move at traditional speed where Neil is involved,” said Rubin. “Some things seem to come out impossibly quickly. Other times, they live in obscurity for years until the inclination to release something appeals to Neil.”

CONTEST: Uncut Magazine: Neil Young & The Legend of Crazy Horse - May 2019

"I'm tapped into the source!"
Neil Young & The Legend of Crazy Horse
Uncut Magazine Cover - May 2019
CONTEST: Win A Copy

The upcoming May 2019 issue of Uncut Magazine features "Neil Young & The Legend of Crazy Horse".

The issue celebrates 50 years of Crazy Horse in all of their magnificent ragged glory and -- thanks to the good folks @ UNCUT -- Thrasher's Wheat will be having a contest to give away a few copies. (See below for details.)

From UNCUT Magazine Editor, Michael Bonner:

Neil Young is on the cover, and inside we celebrate 50 years of Crazy Horse, a union that has endured, often shakily, from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere up to the present day. Young, Billy Talbot, Poncho Sampedro, Nils Lofgren and others recall high times and tall tales with the Horse (with an unexpected cameo from Bob Dylan…).

The article by a collaborative team of Rusties including Tom on Sugar Mountain, Tyler, Mark Spook The Horse -- to name just a few -- honors the Crazy Horse legacy. Crazy Horse and Neil Young memories go back to Danny Whitten with The Rockets onto Nils Lofgren and then back to Nils here in 2019. Makes for a nice full circle around the ranch and back to the barn.

Even as a long time hard core fan, many of us will still learn a trick to 2 with a semi-rare interview with Volume Dealer Producer Nico Bolas, who discusses the challenges and acheivements with recording The Horse and The Spook.

Ragged Glory

CONTEST & Uncut Magazine Editor's Intro for Neil Young Cover Issue - August 2012

Win A Free Issue (Details below)
Uncut Magazine Cover of Neil Young - August 2012
(Click photo to enlarge)

As we reported over the weekend , the latest issue of Uncut Magazine features Neil Young on the cover and an extensive interview by Jaan Uhelski.

The issue also has a free CD FOR THE TURNSTILES with 16 tracks of new music, featuring Neneh Cherry, Mission Of Burma, Sun Kil Moon, Go-Kart Mozart, Ty Segall Band, Hot Chip and more.

First, a comment by july archives:

Uncut is the best music magazine by far since it was born in the nineties.

This UK tomb has consistently reviewed Neil Young's output over the last fifteen years or so in a way/style that the other magazines ain,t come near.

Great ,good ,ok.poor or crap [not many of the last two]their consistency and continuity of recognizing Young's mercurial talents is unmatched in the rock /pop critic area. Allan Jones', the editor, opening page gets right to the heart of something.

Long may these guys run.

Here's editor Allan Jones posting of some Neil memories as an introduction:

When Neil Young brings Crazy Horse to London in 1976, I'm four rows from the front of the stage at Hammersmith Odeon. It's late March, a Sunday night. I still have the tickets, somewhere, probably curled at the edges and yellow with age by now, a bit like most of us who were there at the time.

"It seems like I just got here from somewhere else," is the first thing Neil says, appearing unannounced on stage, standing in a spotlight blinking, shielding his eyes with a hand, like someone looking into the far distance, not sure what might be out there. He looks bedraggled, like he's spent the night in a ditch, dressed in a torn and clearly battered old suede jacket, a shirt he might have been wearing for a week and patched up jeans. Crows for all I know are nesting in his hair. He sits down behind a cluster of mics, as if he's giving evidence against the Mob at a congressional hearing, picks up a guitar and falteringly plays "Tell Me Why". This is followed by a monologue, during which he affects to believe he’s in Germany. It’s funny at first, then oddly disconcerting, although you're inclined to suspect his disorientation is a clever impersonation of someone too whacked out to know where they are. If he’s truly this barbecued, it's a wonder he's conscious.

Anyway, his aw-shucks haplessness continues as he grapples with a banjo and a harmonica rack into which he fits a harmonica. There’s a horrible noise when he blows into it. "Put it in upside down," he drawls somewhat distractedly. "Don't do that every night," he adds, although you suspect he probably does as part of a performance whose haphazardness is possibly a carefully crafted illusion. He then plays a version of "Mellow My Mind" from Tonight’s The Night whose rustic twang makes it sound more like "For The Turnstiles" from On The Beach. Three new songs quickly follow – "Too Far Gone", which we won’t hear again until he includes it on 1989's Freedom, and "Day And Night We Walk These Aisles" and "Don’t Say You Win, Don’t Say You Lose", which nearly 40 years on remain unreleased. He finishes this opening set with "Heart Of Gold" and promises to return after a short break with Crazy Horse, "to keep this story moving".

Then, here they are: Neil and Crazy Horse. It’s been seven years since Everybody Knows This is Nowhere introduced us to the raw elemental noise they make together, a long wait to see them live at last, during which time they've lost original guitarist Danny Whitten to drugs and replaced him with the intimidating Frank 'Poncho' Sampedro, who’s on stage now slugging it out with Neil on a malarial "Down By The River", which is full of swampy dread and festering malevolence. It sounds unbelievable. Elsewhere there are epic versions of "Southern Man" and "Cortez The Killer", the gloriously sloppy gospel hoe-down of "Let It Shine", from the Stills-Young album, Long May You Run, and ferociously dispatched takes on "Drive Back" and "Cinnamon Girl".

Best of all is something no-one’s heard before, which Neil, deadpan, introduces as "another laidback song" and turns out to be one of the first ever performances of "Like A Hurricane". All night, people around me have been wondering aloud about what a huge industrial fan is doing on stage. We find out now, when it whirs noisily to life and what feels like a gale-force wind nearly blows the band off their feet, Neil’s hair streaming behind him as he hunches into it, like someone walking home through a blizzard. The noise Crazy Horse are making behind him is the one, basically, they will go on making, on and off, for the next four decades, up to and including the new Americana, a great reunion they and Neil tell us all about in this month’s terrific cover story by Jaan Uhelszki.

As ever, enjoy the issue and if you want to get in touch you can email me at the usual address: allan_jones@ipcmedia.com

Win A Free Issue (Details below)
Uncut Magazine Cover of Neil Young - August 2012
(Click photo to enlarge)

Neil Young is on the cover of the August 2012 issue of Uncut Magazine.

In a world exclusive interview by Jaan Uhelski, Neil Young says: "You can't worry about what people think. I never do. I never did really."

That about sums it all up. Words to remember, indeed.

Neil Young sheds light on Americana, his next album and his time with Crazy Horse in the new issue of Uncut, in shops from Monday, July 2.

In the cover feature, Uncut visits Young near his home in California to hear more about Waging Heavy Peace, his upcoming memoir, his treasure-trove of unreleased albums, and just why he was inspired to record versions of US folk songs on Americana.

Crazy Horse are also interviewed in the piece, and explain what it’s really like working with Neil, waiting for his call, and being his longest-serving and most legendary band.

"I spend money as soon as I get it," reveals Young in the piece. "I don't care how much money I have, I can use it to do something. So I don't save money."

The new issue of Uncut (August 2012, Take 183) is out on Monday, July 2.

Looks to be a fascinating interview as the Neil roadshow journey continues...

Thanks Guy!
