Alright With Me :: Neil Young’s Homegrown, Live Through The Years



At long last, Neil Young is finally releasing Homegrown on June 19, 2020. At least he says he is — the man has been known to change his mind. To make a very long story very short, Neil recorded this album in 1974 and 1975, right in the midst of his so-called Ditch period. But ironically, he ditched Homegrown in favor of Tonight’s The Night … and the legend of Homegrown has grown ever since. We’ll have plenty more to say about Homegrown proper in the upcoming weeks. But for now, take a listen to a mix of tunes from the album that have made their way into Young’s live repertoire over the years, plus a few added rarities. Let it ring! | t wilcox
