Neil Young previews lost Homegrown LP with second track "Vacancy"
Neil Young is back with "Vacancy", the second single to be shared from his shelved album Homegrown.
In November last year, Young announced on his Neil Young Archives site that he was planning to release Homegrown, an abum recorded in 1974 and 1975, but never released.
Last month the legendary musician announced a release date for Homegrown, and shared the first single "Try", and today he's returned with the second single "Vacancy".
Young writes of Homegrown on his Archives site, "I apologize. This album Homegrown should have been there for you a couple of years after Harvest. It’s the sad side of a love affair. The damage done. The heartache. I just couldn’t listen to it. I wanted to move on. So I kept it to myself, hidden away in the vault, on the shelf, in the back of my mind… but I should have shared it. It’s actually beautiful. That’s why I made it in the first place. Sometimes life hurts. You know what I mean. This is the one that got away."
The original tapes recorded in the '70s have been restored by John Hanlon, and mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
Young adds, "This album is the unheard bridge between Harvest and Comes A Time."
