Neil Young Wants To Know Which Of These Shelved Projects He Should Release
Neil Young has always been prolific. He’s churned out music at regular clips throughout his career, which hasn’t slowed down much at all in recent years. Back in October, he released Colorado, his first album with Crazy Horse in seven years. It was his ninth new collection this decade, but at the same time, he’s also been continuing an expansive project digging back through his past.
Along the way, for as many projects as Young unveiled, he also put a bunch in the vaults. Late last year, he announced an app and subscription service as part of the ever-growing Neil Young Archives. And in the latest bit of news from the Archives, they’ve shared a list of 29 projects that are “in the can,” and they’re asking fans to vote for which ones they’d like to see released next.
This wave of old projects is pretty diverse. There’s a lot of live material, including shows with Crazy Horse, Pearl Jam, and his more recent backing band, Promise Of The Real. There’s also a smattering of lost albums, including would-be ’70s releases like Homegrown and Chrome Dreams. Check out the whole list below:
