Neil Young and Crazy Horse will release their first album in seven years, “Colorado”, this fall.
The band’s current lineup of bassist Billy Talbot, drummer Ralph Molina, and multi-instrumentalist Nils Lofgren – in place of retired guitarist Frank Sampedro – recorded the set in April and will issue the record’s lead track later this month.
“Billy, Ralphie, Nils and I are all very happy to bring this song ‘Rainbow of Colors’ to you in all its ragged glory, as my original producer and life-long friend, the late David Briggs once said,” writes Young on his Neil Young Archives site. “10 new songs ranging from around 3 minutes to over 13 minutes, will be coming your way. We hope you love this new album as much as we do.”
Young’s first record with Crazy Horse since 2012’s “Americana” and “Psychedelic Pill” releases will be supported by a film project entitled “Mountaintop Sessions.”
“It is a wild one folks, no holds barred,” explains Young. “You will see the whole process just as it went down! Worts and all! I don’t think a film about this subject with the openness and intensity we have captured has ever been seen. You can be the judge of that, because Shakey Pictures’ ‘Mountaintop Sessions’ masterfully shot by cinematographer C.K. Vollick, will be released in over 100 theaters world-wide the week our album debuts in October.”
“Colorado” will be available via CD, digital and streaming services, as well as in a 2LP set that presents three sides plus a 7” exclusive two-sided single not on the album.
