Hereâs a good Christmas surprise for you. Neil Young, in a statement published on his Neil Young Archives site, has unearthed a previously lost album. Titled Summer Songs, the album was recorded in 1987.
Described by Young himself as âlost for years, but not forgotten,â  Summer Songs consists of eight songs that were recorded at Youngâs Broken Arrow Ranch. The album features Young on all instruments. It was produced by Young and Niko Bolas, aka the Volume Dealers.
âTheyâre pipinâ music inâŚyer getting itâŚsomeday,â Young wrote in a statement. âRemember the old songs? This ones for you!â
Last week, Young and Crazy Horse released Barn, their first album since Colorado, which was released two years ago. Prior to that, we caught up with Nils Lofgren who looked back at his time playing with Crazy Horse and what went into Barn.
A few weeks ago in an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Young gave some more insight into his latest Archives box set and explained why he wonât be touring until itâs safe to attend shows. He previously canceled an appearance at this yearâs Farm Aid, saying that it was too soon to play live.
