  • About this album: The 44th album by Neil Young. Technically. It was first compiled as an acetate for consideration as an album for release in 1977, but was shelved. A copy was widely circulated as a bootleg in the 1990s. Over the years the songs surfaced on other albums, bootlegs, and in live performances, but the album finally saw it's official release on August 11, 2023. So, you can stop impatiently standing in line down at The Record Bar, now. Young also had another release late in 2023, Before and After, featuring 13 new acoustic recordings of his songs as one uninterrupted 48-minute piece. It deserves a mention as well.

  • Metacritic Score: 88 (Universal Acclaim).

  • Grammy Nominations: None.

  • Song To Sample: Pocahontas.
