Subject: A Black Crowe on Neil

Rusties, saw this in this morning's paper. A series of articles about writer's and artist's favorite concerts. Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes says:

The last one that really totally freaked me out was Neil Young and Crazy Horse. That just left me with my jaw hanging out. It was a couple of summers ago when I saw them at Jones Beach. I sat at the sound board and it was just unbelieveable, an electric religious experience, with the waves of sound crashing on top of me. I was completely blown away.

Subject: Neil in the Mags

On the stands now...

Guitar World: Has "Neil Young" up in the corner of the front cover, but nowhere in the table of contents. A page by page search finds within the REVIEWS section, a retro-review of Harvest. Good review, though.

Rolling Stone: The Rock Hall induction ceremony story has a pic of him stopping by Eric Clapton & Robbie Robertson's table for a chat. Other than that, the ONLY mention of him in the entire article is near the beginning where the writer mentions that "to my left, Neil and the lovely Pegi Young share a desert." Guess they weren't impressed with his speech (or else Wenner's still holding a grudge over Neil's induction ceremony boycot a couple of years ago...)

Subject: Richard Lloyd on Neil

At one of the Television web-sites, there is a link called "Ask Richard" where Television guitarist Richard Lloyd graciously answers fan questions. Someone asked him about his involvement in the new Neil Young tribute CD. Here is the question and the answer ...

Question: I see that you have contributed a track to the upcoming Neil Young tribute CD. How did you become involved in the project? Has Neil been influential with respect to your guitar playing?

Answer: There is a Dutch record company who's owner is a huge Neil Young fan. He got the idea that he could make a tribute record with the proceeds to go to the Bridge School, which is a favorite charity of Neil's. I think he got hold of me through the Bibi Farber website. He very simply asked if I would contribute a track, and I was honored to be involved.

We discussed songs and he suggested Cortez the Killer or some other songs which have massive guitar solos on it. I thought maybe I could find something more interesting for myself (because I thought the "guitar songs" were too obvious) and asked him for the list of songs taken. (He had a lot of contributors.) As it happened, the only Neil Young album I had lying around at the time was Harvest, and I noticed that no one had done Heart of Gold.

As this was probably his biggest hit I was quite surprised. I told him that I would like to cover it and Jos (the record company guy's name) was a little reticent. I guess because it is an acoustic track, but I told him I was going to do a pretty loud rocking version and he got relieved. So I did, and sent it over. He told me he was very happy with it, and I hope you will be too. I haven't heard the finished CD but I'm looking forward to it. Be sure to get a copy, as it's going to a good cause, and I'm sure it will be filled with dynamite selections.

As to Neil's influence on my guitar playing. I cannot say that he was an influence at all, but he did also play very long and brave guitar solos and in a very real sense he doesn't give a damn what people think. This is very refreshing. Some years ago I can still remember his performance on Saturday Night Live when he BURNED, and rock doesn't translate very well to TV, so it was even more impressive.

The new 2-CD, 37-track Tribute to Neil with that name has been mentioned a few times, but now that it's the "next big event" in the Neil world (other than the coming resumption of the tour) I figured I'd post more info.

It's due to be released on April 20th, and orders can be placed NOW from various places, including "Innerstate Records", from their website. Here's a direct jump to their description of the CD (including a fuzzy cover pic). The price is $15.99 plus shipping.

There's also a page where you can download and listen to these full songs (RealPlayer required):

The European record company Inbetweens Records will be donating all of their profits from the CD to The Bridge School.

Subject: Next album slipped to 2000...

According to Rolling Stone:

Neil Young's long awaited follow-up to 1996's Broken Arrow has been postponed again, according to an industry source. The as-yet-untitled solo album was due for release this September, but last week, the powers that be decided to hold it until early next year. "The album had to be held since it's not finished," one insider told us. "They pillaged Neil's album for songs to be included on the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young album that is coming out this summer. Now Neil has to come up with some new songs in order to release the record." The CSNY album -- which is also still untitled -- is tentatively slated for a July 13 release on Reprise Records and will contain twelve tracks, with each band member contributing three songs. All three of Young's songs are reportedly acoustic.

Subject: How Flea learned guitar

From an interview with Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) in Bass Player magazine (Feb 96):

When did you start learning to play guitar?

I started a couple of months before we began making [One Hot Minute]. Rick Rubin gave me a Martin acoustic, and I bought a Neil Young songbook to learn chords. Playing guitar has definitely helped me as a songwriter; instead of thinking in terms of bass lines and grooves, which is an amazing way to think, I now think about chord progressions and melodies. It's another musical dimension for me.

Subject: Neil on Rock'n'Roll America

Once again this week, the National Public Radio show Rock'n'Roll America (which calls itself "History you can dance to") has featured a Neil Young song. The topic this week was "Myths", and covered such old songs as Frankie Avalon's Venus, that Cupid, draw back your bow song, Donovan's Atlantis, plus other songs of a more modernly mythic nature like Johnny Be Good and Woodstock (played the Mathew Southern Comfort version). Toward the end of the show a diversion into "reworking of myths" included pieces of Hotel California (reworking the myth of the "wonderful west") and others.

Within that section the host chose to play one complete song, describing it as a revisting of The Drifters' optimistic song of the fifties (or sixties) in the cold light of modern America. Then the sounds of Neil's Old Black chimed out as he played the entire On Broadway (from the Freedom album). I honestly think that the cacaphony toward the end of the song ("Give me some of that crack! GIVE ME SOME CRACK!") was the loudest, noisiest thing they've ever played on that show.

When this show first came to my local NPR station a year or so ago, I at first kinda ignored it because I only really focused on the old 50s stuff that most epsisodes of the show start with, but I've since been drawn to it when I'm near a radio when it comes on locally on Saturday mornings (each NPR station picks their own time so you'll need to look for it in your area if you want to check it out).

The guy who puts it together is some kind of a professor, and sometimes he glosses over some aspects of stuff to be more entertaining and ignores other stuff for time constraint reasons, but over-all the show is really fun and informative. I've even found that revisiting those old 50s songs in historical contexts is pretty cool. I highly recommend the show to those interested in music "history".

Had the good fortune to get myself and my wife tickets in advance to both Berkeley and Oakland. I managed to talk at some length with Elliot Roberts, who basically confirmed everything that has been on Rust about the new Neil album coming out post-CSNY, which is due for June/July.

As far as CSNY goes, he said that he would be managing the tour, that Neil was way into what was going on musically, and when I queried him on David and Stills, he would only say that, "everyone is healthy." Which I took to be a positive statement.

Subject: Inside CSNY & Archives news

After the 3/9 Portland show, I struck up a casual conversation with Elliot Roberts, who was very polite and open in his comments. I asked about the new CSNY album. He indicated that June/July "for sure". Wanted to get it out before the guys tour.

I cruised over to the opposite side of the room, where Larry Cragg was leaned up by a wall, watching the insanity. Had a great casual conversation with him. He too couldn't remember Neil in better voice. Larry commented on how great the acoustics were in Portland.

We eventually spoke about the Archives. Larry commented on how absolutely outstanding some of the material is going to be. In particular, he was proud of the Blue Notes shows. Said that all the best stuff was played after the Album came out. Said the band continued to really gel. I asked about release dates, we both ended up laughing.

Then I reminded him, since he had played, he would be entitled to some royalties. "Oh yeah, that's right!", he said in what seemed to be a new realization. He spoke of playing the baritone sax.

Larry also brought up about some 1963 material that he called "amazing". Early versions of some of Neil's later songs. Said it would be on the Archives. "You just can't believe how good he was at that age. Hell, I was thinking about things other than music then, and here he is recording this amazing stuff".

From a secret source who must remain secret to protect the guilty, but absolutely is in the know: when asked about Neil's new album, said that it HAD BEEN almost done. BUT, when Neil got together with CSN, he took three (3) finished tracks off of his own album and CSN dubbed in their vocals. Couldn't get the names of the 3 songs.

Neil is still recording during breaks in his schedule. No album until the fall.

They were going over the replay of the RnRHof show on VH1, so Howard piped in with "You know sometimes to be funny I go a little too far -- I'm a fan of Neil Young so let me just read this and get it over with (obviously reading a prepared statement)...

"I just want to apologize to Neil Young for the RNRHOF incident. It was stupid and thoughtless and it will never happen again. I don't want to bring the show down but Neil was quite upset."

Well, I say if Howard is sincere--we forgive him (if not, maybe we can get him banned from radio).

In the March 16 Minneapolis Star Tribune Pop Musing column, written by pop music columnist Jon Bream, David Crosby revealed a few details about the upcoming CSNY album during a phone interview.

Crosby Stills, Nash & Young is back together, Crosby confirmed last week during a break from a CSNY recording session. The project had started out as a CSN album, for which 12 songs were nearly completed.

"Neil came by to play on a song, liked the music and stuck around," Crosby said of a new CSN album... "We took that one apart and built a new one [album]. We're just about done.'

The vibe among the quartet - which hasn't recorded an album together since 1988 and has not toured since '74 - is excellent, Crosby said. With the album due in the stores in June, the group is planning a summer tour of arenas.

Howard proceeded to make some ridiculous comments about Neil. The main one I remember was along the lines of Neil being in no position to talk about Paul's commitment to his family. "What's he been, like, married three times?" and "Didn't he leave his wife and his [disabled] kid." (Howard used another term to describe Zeke and Ben's disability, but I am unwilling to repeat it.)

Saw Tim Rogers (You Am I) last night playing an acoustic show in Melbourne. The last song of the night was a great cover of Don't Cry No Tears -- a great way to end a great gig. Then to top the night off, the first song over the P.A. as the band walked off stage was Come on Baby Let's Go Downtown, followed by the rest of Tonight's The Night.

If Tim's solo album is available overseas I strongly recommend Rusties give it a listen. It's called What Rhymes With Cars and Girls and it's got some great little tunes on it.

If we can't get the real Neil to tour our fare shores down under, then I guess we'll take what we can get. It's sad when you've seen more Neil cover versions than actually seeing Neil perform them himself, but like I said we'll take what we can get.....

Did anyone else catch this in the cover story on Alanis Morrisette in the new SPIN?

She feels a distinct rapport with male rock stars of a certain age, and thinks of them as career role models. She has met Neil Young on a few occasions, and says that "I think that we're on the same page on a certain level. I just feel like he has my back." Over the last few years, she says, "[When] there were certain decisions I had to make, I would think 'what would Neil do?'"

I'm really not sure what to make of this, other than to be pretty certain that Neil would NOT walk around LA in the buff for a video shoot.
