The Ducks : Summer of The Ducks! High Flyin' Ducks! (Neil Young) | URBANASPIRINES

The Ducks: High Flyin' 1977 (2023)


anyone remember that Neil Young posted and streamed a band from 45 years ago? 
Turns out it was HIM!

Kostas says: 

A memorable but short-lived project, the Ducks were a bar band based in Santa Cruz, California whose lineup featured Neil Young on guitar and vocals, though he was not the leader of the group. In the spring of 1977, former Moby Grape vocalist and guitarist Jerry Miller was working with various musicians, and Young found his way on stage one night with Miller (whom he knew from his Fillmore days) and a singer-songwriter named Jeff Blackburn (who co-wrote "My My Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)". Young began hanging out and jamming with Blackburn in the days that followed with Blackburn on rhythm guitar, Bob Mosley on bass, and session musician Johnny Craviotto on drums.
