Recorded In Analog & Mastered From The Original Master Tapes !
Includes 7 Previously Unreleased Songs !
Neil Young puts it best : "This album is the unheard bridge between Harvest and Comes a Time".
Recorded between June 1974 and January 1975, Homegrown was intended to come out in 1975 before Neil cancelled the release. The album has remained unreleased until now, achieving a legendary status among Neil Young fans in the process. The album is made up of twelve Neil Young songs, of which seven are previously unreleased "Separate Ways", "Try", "Mexico", "Kansas", "We Don't Smoke It No More", "Vacancy" and "Florida" (a spoken word narration). Also included are the first recordings of "Love Is A Rose", "Homegrown", "White Line", "Little Wing", and "Star Of Bethlehem" different versions of which would all later appear on other Neil Young albums. Neil plays solo on some tracks (guitar, piano and harmonica), and is joined by a band of friends on other tracks, including Levon Helm, Ben Keith, Karl T Himmel, Tim Drummond, Emmylou Harris and Robbie Robertson.
Recorded in analog, and mastered from the original master tapes, this long-lost album is a wonderful addition to Neil's incomparable catalog.
One of the most influential artists of all time, Neil Young has set a standard of artistic integrity and iconoclastic creativity. Before starting his multi-platinum solo career, he was a founding member of the folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield and worked with the groups Crazy Horse and Crosby, Stills and Nash. The Canadian singer-songwriter was recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 for his work as a solo artist and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1982.
