The music of Neil Young may have returned to Spotify recently, but he’s still very much interested in the more traditional methods — and today, April 26, sees the release of FU##IN’ UP, a new album of reimagined and re-recorded material from the Neil Young + Crazy Horse catalog.
It’s a trip through the past from the legendary ensemble, reimagined versions of songs previously recorded and played by the group, their original song titles replaced with selected lyrics.
Per a news release:
These nine songs from Young’s ever-growing catalog are injected with the kind of audio attack that Young and Crazy Horse have been playing since they started performing in the late 1960s. It has been a constant capturing of what rock & roll is really capable of, and one that shows no sign of stopping. The Crazy Horse lineup on FU##IN’ UP includes Billy Talbot (bass, vocal), Ralph Molina (drums, vocal), Micah Nelson (guitar, vocal, piano), Nils Lofgren (guitar, vocal, piano) and Neil Young (guitar, vocal, harmonica). The sounds these five musicians achieve cannot be predicted, and allow an element of sonic surprise that is a definition of how the boundaries of bands are always up for revision, and supply the music to march into the future with an unparalleled power.

Said Young in a statement:
