Neil Young and his band, Crazy Horse, have embarked on their first national road trip in a decade this spring, a return to the plans that were in motion before the pandemic disrupted their reunion.
The 16-date tour kicked off with two nights in San Diego on April 24-25 and will conclude in Chicago on May 23.
The tour comes hot on the heels of the release of the latest Neil Young & Crazy Horse album, titled Fu##in’ Up. The album will initially have a limited release on vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day on April 20, followed by an all-format release on April 26.
The album comprises reimagined versions of songs from the band’s past, recorded in 2023. Young’s last full tour with Crazy Horse took place in 2014; in subsequent years, they performed a handful of shows in central California and Canada. Plans for a wider tour in 2020 were put on hold due to the pandemic.

Neil Young + Crazy Horse have released their latest album, Fu##In’ Up.
Officially credited to “Neil & The Horse,” Fu##In’ Up sees the legendary songwriter team up with musicians Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Nils Lofgren, and Willie Nelson’s son Micah Nelson to reimagine the tracks from the group’s 1990 album, Ragged Glory.

Recorded at The Rivoli in Toronto last November, Fu##In’ Up demonstrates the jammier side of the ensemble’s capacities, and was “made this for the Horse lovers,” according to Young himself. “I can’t stop it,” he said in a statement. “The Horse is runnin’. What a ride we have. I don’t want to mess with the vibe, and I am so happy to have this to share.”
Fu##In’ Up is available now in its entirety on digital, CD, and vinyl formats. Stream it on Apple Music or Spotify below.

In typical Neil Young fashion, virtually nothing was revealed about his 2024 U.S. tour before it kicked off Wednesday night at San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, other than the fact he’d be backed by Crazy Horse, and that Micah Nelson would be taking over guitar duties from Nils Lofgren. Would he pull a Greendale and debut an entire rock opera nobody had ever heard? Would he focus the set around the three new studio albums he cut with Crazy Horse between 2019 and 2022? Might he...

Recorded over the course of a month at Neil Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch, 1990’s Ragged Glory was an exercise in spontaneous studio collaboration that showcases the creative prowess of an artist always a step ahead of his time. Young’s career is marked by a restless resistance to simple classification, and the album’s messy guitar solos, lively cohesion, and usage of feedback and distortion predated the explosion of grunge (some of the songs later found their way into live sets by bands like Pearl Jam and Bush).
Fu##in’ Up, a live reimagining of Ragged Glory, is something of a victory lap for Young and Crazy Horse, who revisit the material with even more grit and grime. Which isn’t to say that the new approach distracts from the songs, because in some ways it’s truer to the spirit of the material, as the messier mix captures...

Having recently left his film post at Netflix to start his own media company, many wondered where Scott Stuber would land next. While his new company has not been named yet, the producer has found his next project: a film about Bruce Springsteen centered around the storytelling in his classic ’70s album Nebraska. What’s more, the talent involved is massive.
An adaptation of the Warren Zanes book published last year, “Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska,” Jeremy Allen White, star of “The Bear” is in talks to play Springsteen and Scott Cooper, known for soulful music projects like his debut “Crazy Horse,” will direct according to Deadline.

“Oh, I’ve been so down and under pressure,” Lizzo sings in her award-winning hit song “About Damn Time,” and the Watch Out for the Big Grrrls host might be feeling the poignancy of those lyrics more than ever right now.
A year after Lizzo won Record of the Year at the 65th annual Grammys for “About Damn Time,” the singer today finds herself facing a trial on sexual harassment, discrimination and other claims from a trio of her former tour dancers. The Marty Singer-represented Lizzo and fellow defendants Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc and dance team head Shirlene Quigley came up short in their attempt to have the explosive lawsuit filed in August gutted on free speech grounds.
“It is dangerous for the court to weigh in, ham-fisted, into constitutionally protected activity,” LA Superior Court Judge Mark Epstein wrote in a ruling made public today, rejecting a large...

Garth Brooks has taken his country music to Las Vegas and isn’t going anywhere else any time soon.
Back in May, the “Friends in Low Places” singer began his concert residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and will be there until December 16. He’ll be taking a break for a few months after but is scheduled to return to the Colosseum on April 18 next year.
Last week, Brooks performed at the opening of his new bar in Nashville, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk.
“This town has been amazing to me,” Brooks said during his performance in Nashville. “When this [opportunity] popped up, the thought was, does Garth Brooks owe Nashville? You bet Garth Brooks owes Nashville.”
He then went on to explain the reason he named his bar after his hit song.

A menu is a living thing at any Michelin-starred restaurant — a script at the mercy of seasons, ingredients, personnel, and more — and a Michelin-starred restaurant is only as good as its ability to harness the relentless churn known to all living things into creative energy. That’s true of eateries that have only been awarded one pathetic star, and it’s perhaps three times as true for the likes of Le Bois sans Feuilles, which opened in 2017 and continued a tradition of three-star ratings that began with the head chef’s father more than 30 years ago — a run that spans multiple centuries, locations, and generations.
By the time that Frederick Wiseman decided to make it the subject of his latest documentary, Le Bois sans Feuilles (lit. “The Forest without Leaves”) was so consistently drawing its power from the flow of change that it had already become the haute cuisine equivalent of a water wheel,...

It’s the quiet that strikes you in “Menus-Plaisirs — Les Troisgros,” a documentary rejoinder to every image of cacophonous haute cuisine environments — complete with clattering pans, hissing steam and chefs screaming invective — that has been fed to us by “Hell’s Kitchen”-style reality shows and the propulsive drama of “The Bear.” Serenity reigns in Frederick Wiseman’s languidly mesmerising 240-minute anatomy of one of the world’s greatest restaurants: The masters and staff of Le Bois Sans Feuilles, a three Michelin-star establishment in France’s Loire region, work with a hushed intensity of concentration that recalls a science lab, or a surgery table, more than any standard kitchen.
That suits Wiseman, a patient, rigorous examiner of institutional structure and process, who observes this culinary cathedral as seriously and methodically as he has such comparatively vast cultural hives as London’s National Gallery or the New York Public Library.

The first of Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros‘ four hours moves as quick as a glacier. Herbs are inspected at a farmer’s market. Two chefs weigh up the benifits of pike and zander. Fans of Frederick Wiseman, immediately recognizing these rhythms, know to sit back and relax: his cinema is usually as taxing as a breath of air––probably as good for the system. Plaisirs is Wiseman at his most indulgent. There is a section that goes in deep on how cheese is aged. There is a visit to a beekeeper and another to a vineyard. But Plaisirs‘ 240 minutes are mostly spent charting a day in the life at Troisgros, one of the oldest three-Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. Suffice it to say: do not enter on an empty stomach.
Plaisirs is among a handful of the director’s 50-odd films set in France. Crazy Horse (2011), Le Danse (2009), and La Comédie...

The venerable documentarian Frederick Wiseman, who’s 93 years old and still going strong, is known for his sprawling, compassionate and hard-hitting works chronicling American institutions for more than half a century. Films like Welfare, High School, Public Housing, Law and Order, Domestic Violence and Belfast, Maine captured the inner workings of various public bodies, whether schools, offices, communities or entire cities, and the people keeping them afloat. Often clocking in at three hours or more, his movies are loaded with the bureaucratic details and the minutiae of everyday life, painting an ever-evolving portrait of America in all its complex, paradoxical glory.
Starting in the 1990s, Wiseman began making films in France, which is now his adopted home. But rather than focusing on the country’s many public bureaucracies, which can be more intimidating and Kafkaesque than those in the U.S., he’s chosen to document a number of its famed cultural institutions,...

Six decades into a career of over 40 films, the last thing you might request of a new feature from 92-year-old documentarian Frederick Wiseman is that it surprise us. Yet after a run of expansive, richly process-oriented observations of mostly American institutions and communities, his new film, “A Couple,” upends expectations of his work in what feels an almost mirthfully perverse number of ways. For starters, it’s laser-focused on just one person, not a heaving collective of human labor and activity. It’s short — very much so, in fact, barely stretching past an hour. Also, lest we be burying the lede, it’s not a documentary. Wiseman’s first ever narrative feature sees him collaborating with French actor-writer Nathalie Boutefeu on a biopic of sorts: a portrait of Leo Tolstoy’s anguished wife Sophia, dramatizing her marital dissatisfaction and psychic pain with with a lyrical, literate ear.

While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences.

In “Mr. Bachmann and His Class,” one classroom becomes a portal to the world at large. In director Maria Speth’s sprawling, inspirational second documentary, the filmmaker presents about six months in the academic life of one of her personal friends, 64-year-old Dieter Bachmann, who teaches a primary school class for immigrant children in a mid-sized German town. On display are mild culture clashes, linguistic barriers, inquiries into religious differences, debates about values and ethics, and many, many musical performances. Among the dozen or so 12-to-14-year-old students he teaches, a mini-society has formed, with the promise of greater understanding for all in the future.
When we first meet the aforementioned Mr. Bachmann, he’s wearing an AC/DC shirt. The “School of Rock” vibes continue from there, as it’s quickly clear that he greatly values opportunities to encourage his students to perform music themselves. The long, immersive scenes...

Every Frederick Wiseman movie starts like a dare. Though the 90-year-old documentary legend has been chronicling social institutions ever since 1967’s “Titicut Follies,” many of his projects casually drift through three or four hours of dense, layered portraits following the people behind vast organizational forces. Ironically, this has actually made his work even more valuable with time, and “City Hall,” which clocks in at four hours and 32 minutes, is no exception. As attention spans dwindle and the complex mess of American governance grows murkier than ever, Wiseman’s immersive dive into Boston’s city services ignores the pressure to dumb things down and marvels at the complexity of a system designed to make the world run right.
Subtext: Take that, Trump! Just as Wiseman’s 2018 portrait “Ex Libris — The New York Public Library” served as a de facto repudiation of leaders who reject intellectual discernment, “City Hall” assails the corruption...

Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s concert at Winnipeg’s Centennial Concert Hall on February 4th was only their seventh show since guitarist Nils Lofgren rejoined the band after a five-decade absence, but something about it felt different to everybody on the stage. “It was a really special night,” says Lofgren. “Afterwards Neil said to me, ‘Out of these seven shows, I really feel like we’ve turned a corner and become something different as a band. It felt like there was this floating aspect to it where we were just all in tune.

"Won't someone help me lose my mind?" Abramorama has debuted the trailer for the music documentary film titled Mountaintop, opening in select theaters this month. The film is a "raw and extremely unfiltered look" at the process of Neil Young working with Crazy Horse to make their first new album in 7 years - titled Colorado. It's another one of these "how we made the music" docs cross-promoting the album, much like Bruce Springsteen's Western Stars – also out this fall. But this one has more curse words. "Providing fans around the world with the opportunity to see how Neil and the band put it all together is a particularly rare and exciting experience," said Abramorama CEO Richard Abramowitz. "Witness the laughter, tensions, crusty attitudes & love of a rock & roll band that's been together for 50 years as they share their passion, first and foremost... for the music." The fish-eye lens footage...

Getting 37,000 people to a remote, rural amphitheater in East Troy, Wisconsin, for Farm Aid isn’t hard when the bill features Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Bonnie Raitt, John Mellencamp, and several other big names. Getting them to stay for 12 hours in a downpour that turned the packed lawn (where the vast majority of people sat) into a sea of mud is much harder. It required a pretty spectacular show, one that left people so stunned they stayed put hour after hour even though most of them couldn’t...

With Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s new album Colorado arriving on October 25th, the reunited rockers have shared “Rainbow of Colors,” the second preview from the upcoming LP. It’s a bright, optimistic tune calling for unity in the age of Trump. Much like the previous Colorado single “Milky Way,” it is quite mellow by the usually loud standards of Crazy Horse.
“The idea of the song is that we all belong together,” Young wrote on his Neil Young Archives website. “Separating us into races and colors is an idea whose time has passed.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have shared the first song from their upcoming album Colorado, a gentle love ballad (especially by Crazy Horse standards) titled “Milky Way.” Young has performed the song several times at concerts over the past few months – both solo acoustic and with Promise of the Real – but Colorado marks the first time Crazy Horse have tackled it.
Colorado, available to preorder now ahead of its October 25th release date, was cut in April at the Studio in the Clouds recording facility just outside the Colorado ski resort of Telluride.

Neil Young’s summer European tour with Promise of the Real has been packed with rarities like “Throw Your Hatred Down,” “Piece of Crap,” “Over and Over,” “Danger Bird” and “Change Your Mind,” but on Tuesday night at the Sportpaleis in Antwerpen, Belgium, he topped them all by breaking out the title track to his 1974 masterpiece On The Beach. The performance marked the first time Young has played the melancholy song since 2003 and only the third time since 1975, which was also the last time he played an electric rendition of the song.

Of the four new albums here, two feature a modern-rock journeyman in exuberant form and back to work, against extraordinary odds. Another affirms the full-strength return of a great American band, 30 years after they broke up. And they are all rich in the exhilarating — and healing — chime of electric guitars.
There are comebacks in rock & roll, even resurrections. Then there is Scott McCaughey. In November 2017, the singer-guitarist-songwriter of the Minus 5 suffered a near-fatal stroke on the road, erasing a life of songs with his many bands including the Young Fresh Fellows,...

Nils Lofgren has created a video for his new single “Pretty Soon” that shows the E Street Band guitarist playing the song on the grounds of the Gila River Indian Reservation near his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. The song is about a young man that joins the military to impress his girlfriend. “He becomes ‘woke’ in a war zone and is determined to get back to her,” Lofgren tells Rolling Stone. “Rough journey, though I think he makes it.”

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have finished their first new album since 2012’s Psychedelic Pill and are aiming to release it in the fall. “We believe we have a great Crazy Horse album, one to stand alongside Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Sleeps with Angels, Psychedelic Pill and all the others,” Young wrote on his website. “Untitled at this moment, our Crazy Horse album with Nils [Lofgren], Ralphie [Molina] and Billy [Talbot] stands as one of our most diverse albums I have ever made and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Nils Lofgren was lounging by the pool of his Phoenix, Arizona, home with his wife Amy in April 2018 when the phone rang. “It was a Saturday,” recalls the guitarist. “I got a pad and paper out as I thought to myself, ‘Who is calling on a weekend? What will I need to take care of now? What business do I need to address?’ That was the cynic in me.”
It turned out to be Neil Young. “He said, ‘Look, we have these five Crazy Horse theaters shows booked in California...

Timothy Showalter is ready to put away childish things, or at least sing about it. Over the past decade, the singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist has made his mark as the mastermind auteur behind the blissed out jams and shaggy rock mythmaking of Strand of Oaks. “I was lonely,” he sang on the cautious nostalgia trip of his 2014 breakthrough “Goshen 97,” “but I was having fun!”
Five years later, Showalter spends the majority of his new album meditating on what to do when that fun grows stale and creating your own rock and roll legend starts feeling tired.

The latest in Young’s gaining-steam series of archival releases, Songs for Judy finds him again revisiting 1976, just as he did with last year’s Hitchhiker, a collection of unreleased studio recordings. Culled from the acoustic sets of Young’s November 1976 tour with Crazy Horse, the two-dozen-plus songs on Songs for Judy find him ambling through his back and future catalog. He tries out newly written material like “Pocahontas” and “White Line,” pleases the fans with faithful versions of “Heart of Gold” and “After the Gold Rush,” returns to his...

Neil Young has revealed plans to reissue his and Crazy Horse’s 1990 LP Ragged Glory with an extra LP’s worth of “undiscovered and unheard” songs from the album’s original sessions. According to the Neil Young Archives website, Ragged Glory engineer John Hanlon recently rediscovered tapes from the album’s recording sessions and with them a cache of tracks that were left off the album.
“Listening to these tracks is a real head scratcher,” Neil Young Archives wrote. “They are equal to anything on the existing record, maybe better.

Just 24 hours before Neil Young jammed with the Band at “The Last Waltz” in San Francisco, he was in Atlanta to play two shows in a single evening at the Fox Theater. It was November 24th, 1976, and he should have been exhausted after a grueling year on the road with both Crazy Horse and the Stills-Young Band, but he was somehow playing in absolute peak form. The second concert of the evening opened up with a solo acoustic rendition of the 1969 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere classic “The Losing End.

Julien’s Auctions, undeterred by Banksy’s latest prank, announced plans to auction off more works by the street artist in November.
“We can’t guarantee that our four Banksy’s will automatically shred or explode but they will sell to the highest bidder,” the auction house’s Darren Julien said in a statement.
On October 5th, in a now-infamous stunt, Banksy self-destructed his “Girl With Balloon” painting in front of an astonished audience just moments after the work sold for $1.4 million at auction.

Neil Young just wrapped up a stunning series of solo shows with a two-night stand at Boston’s Wang Theater. He played songs from his entire career, but mostly stuck to music from his earliest days in Buffalo Springfield through the late 1970s – including extreme rarities like “Broken Arrow” and “Homefires.” Each night sold out even though they received virtually no promotion outside of his website, where he allowed fans to purchase all the best tickets. “This leg of our Theater Tour is complete,” he wrote on his site after the final night,...
