David Crosby talks CSNY 1974 box set

02/06/2014 by skinbackalley, posted in News

Music legend David Crosby has been discussing the forthcoming Crosby Stills Nashy & Young CSNY 1974 box set.

In an interview with Radio.com, Crosby said that one of his favourites of the new set is a rare recording of a song by Neil Young that has never been commercially released.

“Pushed It Over The End” was described by Crosby as “one of of the most intense pieces of music I’ve ever heard in my life. It might be the single greatest Neil Young live [performance] ever. I never heard anybody be that intense on a record. Ever. Anybody. Anybody. Ever.”

Graham Nash has previously discussed the problems he experienced working on the box set, citing “other people’s agendas and trying to please four people at the same time”.

CSNY 1974 is currently scheduled for release on the 8th of July this year.

Neil Young and Jack White to perform together for The Tonight Show

12/05/201412/05/2014 by skinbackalley, posted in News

Neil Young and Jack White are set to perform together on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon tonight.

The pair will chat to Fallon and perform a song from Young’s new covers album A Letter Home on Monday the 12th of May. Jimmy Page and comedian Louis CK will also be making appearances.

Young released A Letter Home on Jack White’s Third Man Records. It features covers of tracks Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Everly Brothers and more. Young recorded the album in a refurbished 1947 Voice-o-Graph vinyl recording booth at the Third Man shop in Nashville, Tennessee.

Young’s website describes the record as “…an unheard collection of rediscovered songs from the past recorded on ancient electro-mechanical technology captures and unleashes the essence of something that could have been gone forever”.
