When a German woman listed an Eric Clapton CD on eBay over the summer, she thought the rock music purchased by her late husband decades earlier could fetch her around $11 in the online marketplace if she was lucky.

Instead, it somehow got the attention of Clapton, who sued the woman for …

I’ve been a longtime fan of Neil Young and his musical journey since the early ‘70s. I am a retired airline pilot (40 years of flying) but I learned to play “Heart of Gold” a year before my first flying lesson. Still listening to and playing Neil’s tunes on a regular basis today. It’s wonderful to be a member of NYA and enjoy all it has to offer.

The shows I’ve managed to attend were …

Does the world need another Neil Young live album from the archives? When the quality of the recording and performance is this high, the answer is yes, yes it does.

In the last few weeks (as I write this in August 2021), Neil Young has released an incredible acoustic concert he performed in 1969, but only through his website, neilyoungarchives.com. In my opinion, the recording of this show is one of the best recordings he ever made in his long career, so it's frustrating that it's not being officially released (at least not yet).

This show is very unique and special indeed. …

Church blew up in Birmingham
Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason
All this hate and violence can't come to no good end
A stain on the good name.
A whole lot of good people dragged threw the blood and glass
Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame

Meanwhile in North Alabama, Wilson Pickett comes to town
To record that sweet soul music, to get that …

There may be a way to explain how the counterfeit Barn album escaped, but we don’t know yet what happened. One of us got a copy in the mail. The order was completely different from the album we made. It had edits not on the original and different lyrics in one of the songs!

If you see this album anywhere, please let us know at NYA immediately.

We still cannot explain it. We do know …

On Saturday, “Springsteen on Broadway” became the first full-length show to take the stage since the Covid-19 pandemic forced performances to shut down in March 2020.

Before Neil Young was, well, Neil Young, his mother was already a local celebrity. Appearing weekly on our television screens, Rassy Ragland was a panelist on the popular CJAY quiz show Twenty Questions. You might remember her. She was the one with the dry wit and coffee-grinder voice.

Much has been made of Neil's famous father, writer/broadcaster Scott Young, but Rassy had her own notoriety at a time when Neil and his father were estranged …

ClashMusic - Neil Young - Young Shakespeare

Imagine it’s 1971. You have tickets to see Neil Young on his recent acoustic tour.

Since leaving Buffalo Springfield Young released two albums in 1969 - ‘Neil Young’ and the proto-grunge classic ‘Everybody Knows This is Nowhere’ - before following this with ‘After The Gold Rush’. You settle down at the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut on January 26th and he opens with ‘Tell Me Why’ to thundering …

Boulder Colorado 1976 at the Balch Fieldhouse is live on the TIMELINE now. This is a show I remember well, as I came in the hall from the back behind the audience and walked through the place almost unnoticed through a full house. I was running a bit late to the best of my recollection!
This entire concert is now the featured NYA TIMELINE CONCERT OF THE WEEK for all subscribers. Thanks for being here.(click …

Kurt has been my guitar tech for many years. He has had quite a bad turn of events and could use a bit of assistance from his friends. He is a great guy - a real professional and took care of ‘Old Black’, my deluxe and and my guitars and amps for a long time.
Love,
be well

Antwerp (7/9/2019) is live on the TIMELINE. Promise of the Real and I had a wonderous night in Antwerp! Songs from this performance will be part of ‘Noise and Flowers’, a new live album and film with Promise of the Real, coming in later 2021. Just two weeks after the passing of my life-time friend Elliot Roberts, who was my manager for over 50 years, we hit the road and took his great spirit with …

Toast is an album that stands on its own in my collection. Unlike any other, Toast was so sad that I couldn’t put it out. I just skipped it and went on to do another album in its place. I couldn’t handle it at that time. 2001.

John Coltrane, one of my heroes, made some music at ‘Toast’ studio back in the day. It may have been called ‘Coast’ then, but maybe not. The name …

The Boarding House is a filmed performance that has been in the archive for years, waiting for this moment. We just started review and assembly of this concert at a club in San Francisco in the 70s. It’s raw and real. Big mistakes and a lot of feeling.

We all love listening to music and it should be simpler than it is to experience quality. But over the years it’s become more complicated with all of the new ways we have to listen. Now there are so many ways to listen - so many devices and so many formats, each with their own limitations, that it’s become confusing to know what to do. This page will try to demystify, simplify …

Old Ways - Neil Young

released 8-12-1985

Recorded in Nashville with David Briggs, Ben Keith, and Elliot Mazer producing with me on different tracks. Check the infocard credits for details on each song.

I wanted to visit Nashville and see what it was like to make a record there again. The last one had been Comes a Time.

‘Where is the Highway Tonight’ is one of my favorites from this album, as well as ‘Are …

BARN - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

released 12-10-2021

Barn was recorded under the full moon in June 2021 by Crazy Horse - Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Nils Lofgren and Neil Young.

Recorded in a restored mid-nineteenth century log barn, the songs have their own unique sonic quality. The round logs of the barn’s walls lend themselves to great sound!

It was captured by the Volume Dealers with Niko Bolas in the Le Mobile truck.

Homegrown - Neil Young

released 6-19-2020

I apologize. This album ‘Homegrown’ should have been there for you a couple of years after ‘Harvest.’ It’s the sad side of a love affair. The damage done. The heartache. I just couldn’t listen to it. I wanted to move on. So I kept it to myself, hidden away in the vault, on the shelf, in the back of my mind. . . . but I should …

This HUGE 4 disc vinyl offering is NYA’s largest ever - eight sides of Ragged Glory from the Horse first live performances of songs from that album.

The quality of vinyl and Bluray is absolutely the best way to see and listen with a tangible product. A high resolution version will be available in the X-Stream store …

"I’m happy that y’all came down” is a bootleg that has been circulating for almost 50 years. Rubber Dubber put it out in 1971. It’s an audience recording of a solo show at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion February 1st of that year.

The big difference with this NYA Official Bootleg and many in the Official Bootleg series will be that the music is coming from our original master tapes.

We have ripped off all of …

COLORADO - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

released 10-25-2019

This album, Crazy Horse’s first in seven years, has been well received and we are all very happy about that. It’s fun to feel the support of our fans. Colorado’s album cover was created by dhlovelife and uses one of my daughter Amber’s artworks. It’s a family affair.

Billy, Ralph and Nils are all happy with the way it came out. We really wanted this to …

TUSCALOOSA - Neil Young + Stray Gators

released 6-7-2019

When the tour got to Alabama, I was happy to see all the people there. We were playing in a University Field House I think I recall. The band was pretty tuned in because we were doing lots of shows in a row. After a while, the groove sets in and you really don’t know how good it is when you are in it. It turned …

SONGS FOR JUDY - Neil Young

released 11-30-2018

This album, a collection of solo performances from a tour of the USA and Canada with Crazy Horse in 1976, is one of my favorites. Before the Horse came out, I would play an acoustic set.

I am singing from the heart and you can really feel it in these performances, which capture that time in my life.

I hope you enjoy all these songs.

ROXY : TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT LIVE - Neil Young with The Santa Monica Flyers

In 1973, I drove my 1947 Buick Roadmaster, ‘Black Queen’ to LA from the North, accompanied by Ben Keith. Once in LA, Hollywood to be exact, we met up with Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina. Nils Lofgren joined us and we drove to SIR (studio Instrument Rentals on Santa Monica Boulevard). David Briggs, producer, and …

Written in 2016, recorded with Promise of the Real in Malibu at Shangri-La, ‘The Visitor’ is a chronicle of feelings in 2016, just as the new president was being elected.

I love playing with Promise of the Real, Lukas and Micah, Anthony, Corey and Tato. We have a great energy together and you can really feel it on this, our second studio record.

HITCHHIKER - Neil Young

released 9-8-2017

Hitchhiker was recorded one night at Indigo Studio, high in the mountains above the Pacific Coast. David Briggs was at the board as I sat in a small room with my guitar, my friend Dean Stockwell, and played all the songs on this album.

It was always meant to be a solo album and I wanted continuity, a feeling you were in a place with me and I was …
