Here to talk about “Berlin” with us today is someone we've been fans of for a long time now—the mighty Matt Valentine. MV has been making beautiful noise for over three decades now, from Tower Recordings to MV & EE (with his partner Erika Elder) to various solo excursions and collabs. For the past decade, Matt’s primary focus has been Wet Tuna, which also features Erika and bassist Jim…
Here to help us unpack "Barstool Blues," one of the many classics on _Zuma_ , is Matt Sweeney. Sweeney is one of those guys who is impossible to sum up. He’s a musician who has been a part of so many great bands, projects and records over the years—Superwolf, Chavez, Guided by Voices, the Hard Quartet, Iggy Pop, Current 93, Cass McCombs, Andrew WK…the list goes on and on. He’s a consummate…
Originally released on vinyl for Record Store Day in April 2025, the release in other formats over a month later clarifies how, in more ways than one, Neil Young’s live album with the Chrome Hearts is a mirror image of last year’s studio album with that band. Whereas Talkin’ to the Trees was full of […]
We have got a doozy of a Neil Young song to talk about today — “Ambulance Blues." First appearing as the closing track on Neil’s 1974 masterpiece _On the Beach_ , this is one of the man’s major works, a long, dark dirge that surveys the surreal mid-1970s landscape, from Patty Hearst to Richard Nixon, all accompanied by a brilliantly skeletal musical backdrop. Here to help us decode the…
Neil Young is back on stage. The music icon gave his first performance in almost exactly a year last night during his surprise appearance at a benefit concert for his friend David Suzuki. At Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre, he performed "Heart Of Gold" from 1972's _Harvest_ and "After The Gold Rush" from the 1970 LP of the same name.

Mirror Ball is a 1995 collaboration between Neil Young and members of Pearl Jam, released through Reprise Records during the height of the grunge era. Recorded largely live in the studio over a handful of sessions in Seattle, the album captures a loose, raw sound that blends Young’s songwriting with Pearl Jam’s dense guitar interplay […]
Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Neil Young – After The Gold Rush – Rating: 3 / 5 This was fine overall. There were some choices with how Neil sounds when he sings that I did not enjoy, especially on “Southern Man”. Further proof this limit would benefit from limiting itself to only 2 albums per artist. Other Albums: E-40, Cousin Fik, & Hitta Slim – The Assembly – Rating:…
Here to plumb the depths of “From Hank To Hendrix” today is Texas-based singer-songwriter Jerry David DeCicca. Like Neil Young, Jerry’s songs are often made out of seemingly simple materials, but the more you listen to them, the deeper they become, simplicity transforming into something wonderfully complex. For example, one of his best songs deals with the cosmic pleasure of watermelons.

The editor of the Take That Official fan magazine spent years traveling around the world and hanging out with the band in the nineties, and now shares some of her most memorable moments
In 2024, Neil Young began performing with a backing band called the Chrome Hearts. The following year, he released an album with them called _Talkin To The Trees_. Luxury fashion brand Chrome Hearts was not happy about this, and sued the legendary singer-songwriter and the band last fall. Now, they've dropped the lawsuit.

Released in 1981 on Reactor , “T-Bone” is perhaps the most boneheaded, monomaniacal tune in Neil Young’s entire discography, a grinding, nine-minute three-chord Crazy Horse jam that features only these words to guide us: “Got mashed potatoes, ain't got no T-bone.” Our guest today is far from boneheaded, however. Matthew Specktor is a novelist, a memoirist, a critic, a screenwriter, an…
Welcome back to All One Song. Today, our guest is Simon Joyner, discussing "After the Gold Rush." The Omaha-based singer-songwriter has a career stretching back to the early 1990s; you might call him a songwriter’s songwriter—at least he’s got a ton of peer admiration. To accompany his all Neil Young Lagniappe Session, he joins us to talk Shakey.

This week, Micah Nelson drops into Aquarium Drunkard's Neil Young podcast to talk "Change Your Mind." Since 2014, Nelson has served as one of Neil’s closest collaborators, playing guitar first in the Promise of the Real, then in Crazy Horse, and now in the Chrome Hearts. He’s toured all over the globe with Young, delivering epic, deep-cut heavy sets. During that time, he’s appeared on such…
O músico Neil Young informou que concluiu a produção de um novo álbum em parceria com a banda Chrome Hearts. O anúncio foi feito por meio de publicação no site Neil Young Archives, onde o artista compartilha atualizações sobre seus projetos. De acordo com Young, o disco reúne composições inéditas recentes e faixas baseadas em […]
It's been less than a year since Neil Young released _Talkin To The Trees_ , his first album with new backing band Chrome Hearts. But it sounds like Young and his associates are already ready to spring another one on us.

For his appearance on All One Song, AD and Recliner Notes contributor Scott Bunn picked a truly deep cut: “Boom Boom Boom.” This is a song that you might know better … though not much better…as “She’s A Healer,” which closed out Neil’s 2002 LP _Are You Passionate?,_ recorded with Booker T and the MG’s. But “Boom Boom Boom” is the original Crazy Horse version of the song, which was cut in the…
And here to talk with us about “Thrasher” is James Jackson Toth, a terrific songwriter whose career matches Neil in terms of eclectic, exploratory and highly personalized vibes. He’s been a man of many monikers over the years; there are records under his own name, there are records under the ever-morphing Wooden Wand designation; there’s DUNZA, there’s James and the Giants, there’s One Eleven…
Neil Young's "Albuquerque." A Ditch Era classic, it was recorded with the Santa Monica Flyers in 1973 and released on 1975's _Tonight's the Night_. Like the Southwestern town its named for, "Albuquerque" is stark, beautiful, and lonesome—leaving in its wake melancholy and a craving for fried eggs and country ham. Joining us to discuss the various landscapes of "Albuquerque" is Brigid Mae Power.…
Experimental rock icons Bill Orcutt, Steve Shelley, and Ethan Miller joined forces last year for a power trio record as Orcutt Shelley Miller. Fresh off their appearance at Big Ears, the band is back today with two new covers, to be released together on a 7″ next month. Both songs are online now. Orcutt Shelley…

Welcome to All One Song season two. We kick off this exploration of the Shakey-verse with Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo. The indie trio has a long history with Neil—the b-side of their second single was a sweet cover of “For The Turnstiles.” But Kaplan doesn't want to talk about an old classic, but rather the most recent Neil song, as of the time of this taping at least. Strap in for "Big…
Ragged Glory was the 20th Neil Young studio album and the sixth with Crazy Horse. This is the height of Young as garage rocker, perhaps inspired by the...
Rocker Neil Young says he's "sad" and "depressed" by the news of the day under President Donald Trump and he needs to put out a new, Anti-Trump album to express his feeling about what he called the "worst president in the history of our country."

Earlier this year, Neil Young called out ICE and commenced a boycott of all Trump-supporting companies. Earlier this week, the legendary singer-songwriter shared more thoughts about the administration, as well as news that he's working on a new album.

A Alanis Morissette foi confirmada como atração principal do festival inaugural State Fayre, em Essex, substituindo Neil Young, que cancelou sua turnê europeia de verão. A apresentação acontece no sábado, 27 de junho de 2026, noite central do evento, e terá o Skunk Anansie como convidado especial antes de Morissette subir ao palco. Neil Young […]

Niente da fare per Neil Young che aveva in programma un tour in Europa. In particolare erano previste due date italiane dopo dieci anni di assenza dal nostro Paese. L’artista canadese 80enne sul suo sito, NeilYoungArchives.com, ha annunciato che il tour previsto con i Chrome Hearts è stato annullato. Poche parole per scusarsi con i […]

Neil Young and his new band Chrome Hearts played a lot of live shows last year, and they planned to keep it going in 2026, with a tour of the UK and Europe planned for June and July. Now, that tour won't be happening. It's not because of a health crisis or anything. It's just because Neil Young, in his own words, "decided to take a break." Fair enough!

The evening before Music’s Biggest Night, there is always Music’s Smallest but Mightiest Night. That could serve as one way to describe the Americana Music Association’s annual Grammy Eve concert at the famed Troubadour club in West Hollywood, which is a very different kind of destination from the concurrent “Clive party.” The Americana affair annually […]
