Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Ragged Glory, 1990 on Reprise
Ragged Glory was the 20th Neil Young studio album and the sixth with Crazy Horse. This is the height of Young as garage rocker, perhaps inspired by the grunge movement – Rolling Stone voted it 36th best grunge album of all time! My copy is the “Smell the Horse” 3xLP edition from 2024 pressed by…

Neil Young, Crazy Horse, Barn, 2021 on Reprise
Young’s first post-covid album, recorded in an old (1870s?) barn in Colorado with Nils Lofgren, Billy Talbot, and Ralph Molina. I like the way it is credited and titled – just three nouns: Neil Young, Crazy Horse, Barn. I love Neil Young and really enjoyed new music from him with Crazy Horse, even if this…

Back in the early part of the new millennium, Neil Young and Crazy Horse recorded a bunch of songs at Toast, a recording studio at 1340 Mission St. in San Francisco (pictured on the cover). The songs they recorded got shelved and not released until 2022. Volume 8 in the Neil Young Archive’s Special Release…

Neil Young, Decade, 1977 on Reprise
It’s amazing to me that all of this music was before 1977. I came to Neil Young’s music well into the 1980s and while I knew some of the legacy (Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y and combinations thereof) I didn’t know just how many great songs he’d put out in the first decade of his career. This…
