 HOMEGROWN

(UPGRADE)

Albums That Never Were - HOMEGROWN - Neil Young

Albums that Never Were has upgraded his effort at recreating the missing (well now not!) Homegrown Album. We have listed the first blast here and Sonic Love Noise has spent time to upgrade the project and his notes and details as ever are always worth a read

as he says:

This an oft-requested upgrade of one of my favorite albums that never were. This is a reconstruction—actually, more of a re-imagining, really—of Neil Young’s famous unreleased 1975 album Homegrown. Originally meant to be released in 1975 as the proper follow-up to On The Beach, it was shelved in favor of the more electric and immediate Tonight’s The Night. While the album was finally released in 2020 as a part of The Archive Volume 2 project, many fans complained that the album was not what they had imagined or what it could have been; some even seemed to like my own reconstruction better than the actual release! So this is an upgrade to my original reconstruction using the newly-released sources, swapping some tracks for others to make Homegrown actually live up to it’s own hype as the stark, acoustic record that was the successor to Harvest.

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
