Neil Young has always had some complicated feelings about his 1973 live album Time Fades Away, but it appears he’s become fonder of it in recent years. He’s celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special reissue dubbed Time Fades Away 50, to be released on November 3rd via Reprise Records exclusively in a limited edition clear vinyl. Check out the album art and tracklist below.
In addition to the eight original songs from the album, the new Time Fades Away 50 will also include the bonus track “The Last Trip to Tulsa,” which was originally released in November 1973 as the B-side to the album’s only single, its title track. Since then, “The Last Trip to Tulsa” also appeared on 2020’s Neil Young Archives Vol. 2: 1972–1976.

Bob Dylan isn’t a singer who has written many top-10 charting singles. He’s never concerned himself with writing pop hits, but he also releases songs often longer than most hit singles. However, even Bob Dylan thought he got carried away when he wrote this song that lasted more than 10 minutes.
Bob Dylan thinks he got ‘carried away’ when he wrote ‘Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands’
“Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” was the final track of Dylan’s 1966 album Blonde on Blonde, and it took up the entire fourth side of the album. It’s an overwhelming song that lasts around 11 minutes and 23 seconds. In Dylan’s 1976 song, “Sara”, he confirmed this track was written for his first wife, Sara Dylan.
Dylan has had mixed feelings toward the song throughout his career. At one point, he believed it was the “best song” he’d ever written. However,...

Gordon Lightfoot — a genius-level Canadian singer-songwriter whose most enduring works include “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Sundown,” “Carefree Highway,” “Early Morning Rain,” and “Rainy Day People” — died on Monday, the CBC confirmed. He was 84.
Lightfoot’s deceptively simple songs, which fused folk with pop and country rock, have been covered by everyone from Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash to the Grateful Dead, Barbra Streisand, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, and the Replacements.

Following the death of Elliot Mazer on Sunday, Neil Young took to his website to honor the engineer-producer behind multiple Young albums.
Young wrote that he first met Mazer in Nashville in January 1971, when he was appearing on The Johnny Cash Show and working on his upcoming album, Harvest. “At that time, seeing how many new unrecorded songs I had, Elliot immediately got a studio and a group of musicians together so that I could record,” he recalled. “James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt were in town doing the Johnny Cash...

Elliot Mazer, the longtime producer and engineer who helped craft albums for Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, and the Band, among others, died at his San Francisco home on Sunday. He was 79. Mazer’s daughter Alison confirmed the producer’s death, adding that the cause was a heart attack after years of battling with dementia.
“Elliot loved music,” his sister, Bonnie Murray, tells Rolling Stone. “He loved what he did; he was a perfectionist. Everybody has so much respect for him, and he’s been suffering for a couple years.”

Jewel has revealed “Race Car Driver,” an outtake off the 25th-anniversary edition of Pieces of You, out November 20th.
Backed by Neil Young’s band the Stray Gators — drummer Kenny Buttrey, bassist Tim Drummond, keyboardist Spooner Oldham, and producer Ben Keith — Jewel tears through the track. “Come on baby, let’s get in the car/I’m gonna take you real, real far,” she sings. “I’m gonna paint your mamma’s face on the door/You ain’t gonna see her anymore.”

Neil Young isn’t releasing his 10-disc collection Archives Volume 2: 1972-1976 until November 22nd, but paid subscribers of The Neil Young Archives website now have access to the previously unreleased song “Come Along and Say You Will.”
The tune was recorded at Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch on December 15th, 1972 with drummer Kenny Buttrey, bassist Tim Drummond, and pedal steel guitarist Ben Keith. They were weeks away from launching an extensive North American tour where Young would debut several new songs that ultimately wound up on the 1973 live album Time Fades Away.

Singer Bonnie Pointer, who co-founded the Grammy-winning Pointer Sisters in 1969 with her sister June, died Monday at 69 years old. Expanding to a quartet with the addition of Anita and Ruth Pointer, the group’s early days were notable for their campy chic attire, their vocal style a throwback to the Thirties and Forties. But in 1974, after scoring a hit with the bouncy Allen Toussaint-penned “Yes We Can Can,” the Pointers released the twangy “Fairytale,” which earned them their sole entry on the country chart at Number 37.

Neil Young has long shied away from performing Harvest in concert, and, in a new interview with the Aarp, he says that is unlikely to change any time soon.
“I was just offered millions of dollars for a tour to do Harvest,” he told writer Edna Gundersen. “Everyone who played on Harvest is dead. I don’t want to do that. How about planting instead of harvesting?”
Sadly, Neil Young isn’t exaggerating when he says that everyone from his Harvest-era band the Stray Gators is dead. Pianist Jack Nitzsche...

The next chapter of Neil Young’s ongoing archival series will spotlight a concert he played with the Stray Gators at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa on February 5th, 1975. Titled simply Tuscaloosa, it will come out June 7th on a single CD and a three-sided vinyl album with etched artwork on side four.
“It’s from the period right around Harvest and Tonight’s the Night,” Young told Rolling Stone earlier this year. “For me, it’s edgy. It’s like those mellow songs with an edge. It’s...

In April 1969, Bob Dylan went to Nashville to record his ninth studio album. It would be his third time recording there with local session pros and producer Bob Johnston, but this time it would be different: Unlike the “thin, wild mercury sound” of 1966’s Blonde on Blonde and the ominous acoustic folk of 1967’s John Wesley Harding, his next LP would be a traditional country record. He called it Nashville Skyline.

By the fall of 1970, after the enormous success of After the Gold Rush and Csny’s Déjà Vu, Neil Young finally had enough money to buy his dream home: a 140-acre ranch in La Honda, California that he paid for with $340,000 cash. “I just poured all my money into it so that I knew it could never be taken away from me,” he later told his father.
