Neil Young, the legendary singer and songwriter, has recently announced that he will be releasing a long-lost album that he recorded back in 1977. This anticipated album, titled "Oceanside Countryside," is set to be released on Valentine's Day. Fans are excited to finally hear this album that has been hidden away in the archives for over four decades.
According to Young, the album was recorded between May and December of 1977 and is a sister record to his 1978 album, "Comes A Time." Both albums have a country folk sound and share three songs: "Goin' Back," "Human Highway," and "Field of Opportunity." Young expressed regret that he did not release the album at the time it was recorded, stating on his website that "these songs are the original mixes done at the time of the recordings in the order I planned for the album." He also revealed that he sang the vocals and played the instruments on the album, recording in both Florida and Malibu.
The 79-year-old musician also shared that he recorded with his friends Ben Keith, Joe Osborn, Karl T. Himmel, and Rufus Thibodeaux at Crazy Mama's in Nashville for the album "Countryside." He expressed his hope that fans will enjoy this "treasure of an Analog Original recording" as much as he does, and admitted that he now regrets not releasing it back in the '70s.
In addition to the album release, Young also made headlines for his involvement with the Glastonbury festival. Initially, he announced that he would not be performing at the festival due to demands from the BBC, which he did not want to comply with. However, he later revised his statement and revealed that he would indeed be playing at the festival, stating that there was an error in the information he received.
Young expressed his love for the festival and apologized for any confusion, saying "the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing! Hope to see you there!" He also took the opportunity to thank his fans for their continuous support and encouraged them to reach out with any stories, pictures, or videos they may have.
