In-between tours with Crazy Horse or solo, Neil Young would switch up his sound to suit the material he would focus on when touring with The Stray Gators between 1971 through 1973. Comprised of Tim Drummond (bass), Kenny Buttrey (drums), Jack Nitzsche (piano) and Ben Keith (steel guitar) this lineup, most notably, would go onto record Harvest and Times Fades Away.
New album, Tuscaloosa, features live versions of songs from Young’s self-titled 1969 debut, plus classic songs from his two most commercially successful album of his early career, After The Goldrush (1970) and Harvest (1972).
The album also contains a stunning version of the title track from the live album Time Fades Away that would not surface until later in 1973, as well as songs from the seminal classic Tonight’s The Night that would eventually be released in 1975. Pre-order Tuscaloosa here.
Tuscaloosa, produced by Neil Young, Elliot Mazer and mixed by John Hanlon, is from the original analogue tapes. Recorded absolutely live at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, in 1973.
Photographs by Joel Bernstein complete the packaging.
