It was the barn where the stagecoaches used to stop and they’d service the horses there and clean up the wheels. It’s a great old barn, and it was recently restored. Why did you decide to go back to a barn this time around? You recorded Colorado, the last album you made with Crazy Horse, in a proper studio. Young hopped on a Zoom call from his mountain home to talk about the new album and reveal details about his upcoming releases - from the third installment of his archives (covering the years 1976-1987) to 50th anniversary plans for Harvest. It features Young, guitarist Nils Lofgren, bassist Billy Talbot, and drummer Ralph Molina tearing through the 10 tracks, accompanied by Young’s dogs Moon and Mo, some cold beer, and a full moon overhead. A documentary of the same name, directed by Young’s wife, actress Daryl Hannah, chronicles the making of the album. In fact, Barn is the title of his new album with Crazy Horse, out this Friday, named after a different old barn that they spent nine months restoring in the Rockies.

More than 50 years later, Young is still on his quest to find more barn. He’d wired his Northern California ranch house as the left speaker and a barn as the right speaker as the record played, his producer, Elliot Mazer, ran down to the shore to ask how it sounded. In September of 1971, Neil Young took Graham Nash out on his lake in a rowboat and blasted his new album, Harvest.
