This has always been a favourite of mine. I will compare the quality of this to previous copies. I can't believe I am done loading from Hotfile again. I have uses mega on other sites and I have no problems. Congratulations on the anniversary and thanks for this. I've always thought "Look Out for My Love" contained one of the greatest examples of onomatopoeia in rock the windshield wipers line, specifically and I can't wait to hear what it might have sounded like in this context It's a shame it was never released.
Terrific-I have a few versions of this and really this is top notch. BB, Excellent! As far as I can tell after a couple of listening this is an excellent quality version. Love Newman. Chrome Dreams was the first bootleg I ever bought.
In the mids I had never heard of it before and noticed it in the NY section of a little music shop in San Luis Obispo. I couldn't believe my luck and was so excited I bought it immediately.
The liner notes were great because they explained exactly what it was that I'd just bought. Thanks so much for sharing BB. Great stuff. I put together a faux-Homegrown over here -- not anything remotely definitive, but fun!
Tyler, Thanks, Yes, I try to stop by your excellent blog every now and then and catch up on what you've been up to, and I did download your noble attempt at a 'Homegrown' compilation a couple months ago I should have put in a link to your Homegrown entry, but just didn't think of it, but I'll fix that now - Thanks.
But, you know what, like many other things I have downloaded recently, I just have not yet listened to it. I have it here somewhere and am interested to hear what you put in there, so I will get to it. Thanks again. Keep on Keepin' on. This concept didn't go as far into the planning stages as something like Oh Lonesome Me or Last Dance did, though, as no final tracklist was ever agreed upon, and we only have a pretty vague idea of what it was.
But, Neil being Neil, he did as he always does and abruptly decided to do something else, this time recording an album with former Buffalo Springfield bandmate Stephen Stills and going on tour with him. The band only heard of this way later, and were confused as NY had promised them they'd tour in the summer of '76 after their album came out, which was shelved in favour of the Stills-Young project.
Neil would later regret this decision, but for now, the damage was done, and the Ranch Romances album was left unfinished. So, what we're going to tackle today is: what if Neil and the Horse had released a follow-up to Zuma? And to answer that question, some rules have to be put forth first.
First of all, everything in this reconstruction has to have been recorded at Broken Arrow Ranch, as per the name of the album, during the September to January period, with one main exception to be explained later, as well as one song which wasn't recorded but is from the same batch of songs and only was performed live.
Neil wasn't the type to follow recording sessions and album concepts too literally, so we have a lot of leeway when considering what to include on the album and what not to. The fact that he never specified what the Ranch Romances concept meant certainly helps as well. Thanks, Neil! To mirror Zuma even further, we'll be aiming at replicating its roughly nine-song, minute format, adjusting our material to fit it.
Most of the songs should and will feature CH, obviously, but up to two solo acoustic Neil songs are allowed as well, as was the case with "Pardon My Heart" and "Through My Sails" on Zuma. All songs will be sourced from official releases and will be studio recordings, with the main exception of the aforementioned "Country Home", which will come from a Timeline Gig release by Neil, which was released exclusively on his web archives, and is the highest quality we have.
Without any further ado, let's have a look at what this hypothetical Ranch Romance could have looked like:. Like a Hurricane Archives Vol. Throughout this period of September through January , Neil and the Horse recorded eight songs at Broken Arrow Ranch's studio, and debuted one more during their December Bar Tour.
In November, time was devoted for remakes of "White Line" and "Homegrown", both from the then-unreleased Homegrown album, as well as one of Neil's greatest ever songs, "Like a Hurricane". During the month, "Country Home" was also rehearsed with the band, and even debuted live at the Boots and Saddles Bar in La Honda on the 7th of December, but was not recorded properly in the studio until , when it became part of Ragged Glory.
Why that is is frankly a mystery to me, as it's easily one of his greatest songs, and remained the opening song of their electric set throughout This album essentially is a companion album to "Zuma," so I wanted an album cover to reflect that. At the Steve Hoffman music forum, I saw someone took some of the extra artwork from the "Zuma" album, inverted the light and dark, and used that as a cover.
I don't remember who that way, sorry, but I liked the idea and decided to do the same. I used one main drawing from the "Zuma" booklet, overlaid on the official "Zuma" cover, then added bits and pieces from a couple other drawings. I added Neil Young's name to the upper left corner. Paul, Love what you did in compiling all the Neil Young albums from stray tracks. But all the credit should go to Neil.
So many great songs from the mids that he didn't put on albums! Mystic January 26, at AM.
