Due February 26, "Way Down In The Rust Bucket" captures a rare club show before 800 fans at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA on Novemjust two months after the release of "Ragged Glory" as the band warmed up for an impending arena tour in support of the project. The era was great and this album captures it perfectly. Wait for 2023 and Neil and friends will most likely be back with a fresh crop of records for our ever-evolving brave new world.(hennemusic) Neil Young is sharing a video trailer and details for a new 1990 live package with Crazy Horse. This is an amazing Neil Young Archives release. There’s certainly magic in some of World Record’s music, but many of its moments are well-worn journeys through the past with a bit less punch and panache this year. “Real magic lasts and we think we have it,” says Young about his continued work with Crazy Horse. The hard truth is, no matter how many albums we review each year, there are always countless releases that end up overlooked. The audio surpasses the bootlegs (which weren’t bad) and captures the live club sound, though many fans noticed that the CD edition has a much better mix. It doesn’t have that same new and renewable source of musical energy that Colorado plugged into during its longer song runs.Įlsewhere, “This Old Planet (Changing Days)” is a tragic paean to Mother Earth, and the wheezing waltz “The Long Day Before” is solid enough without making a substantial impact. Even though the shows were professionally filmed, the picture quality is comparable to a decent VHS videotape, which somehow perfectly fits the rough and rowdy proceedings.

All three tracks manage to keep the band’s wheels on as the songs explore some crunchy moments.Ĭrazy Horse is typically at its best during vagrant and thunderous electric guitar storms such as “I Walk with You (Earth Ringtone)” and “Walkin’ on the Road (to the Future).” Young’s 15-minute epic “Chevrolet” retreads and somewhat reckons with the climate crisis and his longtime love of classic American cars, but this electric guitar marathon runs on old fuel from the ’70s run of Crazy Horse albums.

“Overhead,” “The World (Is in Trouble Now),” and “Break the Chain” are loose and bluesy numbers with Crazy Horse. Opener and early single “Love Earth” has a pleasant Harvest Moon–like approach as it plunks along with its guitar- and piano-led melody. Many of the album’s best tracks deal with the state of America today, the global climate crisis, and the shaky state of communal truths in a post-pandemic world. The sleeve art for the new LP may feature a photograph of Young’s father Scott, but this isn’t really an album that looks back as much as it lifts a weary head, setting its clenched jaw into a singular mold, and takes rickety steps toward an ominous political and environmental future. Neil’s 42nd album World Record was recorded by Rick Rubin at his Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, where Young also recorded his primarily acoustic 2016 project, Peace Trail. Rust never sleeps, and the same goes for Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Neil and his merry band of musical misfits also recently shared the archival releases Way Down in the Rust Bucket and Toast. Neil Young & Crazy Horse have been keeping their studio and axe skills extra sharp the last few years: In 2019, they dropped a solid effort with Colorado, and then swung wide with the prairie-rock highs and lows of Barn in 2021.
