Some forty-five years after being recorded Neil Young's 1974/75 album Homegrown was finally released in time for "Record Store Day" back in June. It becomes his 40th Studio album and whilst "new" is certainly a reflection of the period it was recorded in.
Homegrown contains 11 songs and(one narrated piece (which felt a wee bit self indulgent to this listener) which together Young felt were a bit of a downer at the time. Nevertheless this remains a highly listenable album for fans of the man.
I particularly like the last three tracks on the album including Star of Bethlehem which features Emmylou Harris. I've chosen No Vacancy to give you a taste of the album which whilst not one of his greatest makes pleasant listening though skip Florida if the control is in reach!
