Neil Young and the Bluenotes

facelift25

I'm a Neil fan and find most of his work to be great but I do not hear alot about his bluenotes stuff which I find interesting in some ways. Two of my favorite Neil songs are(were) unreleased tracks from this period: Bad News and Ordinary People which the first time I heard them threw me for a loop cause to hear Neil with a horn section is off the cuff but I like the different aspects that Neil can jam with Crazy Horse but put out something left field like the bluenotes. There are bootlegs floating around from this period and I myself have those two tracks live from a bootleg which are pretty good audience recordings. What do you guys think about the Bluenotes and do you think Neil would ever do another tour with the Bluenotes? Here is a link to a live perfomance of Ordinary People: http://www.dailymotion.com/LeBalayeur/video/149672

I unfortunately have not heard blue notes, but first heard ordinary people about 13 years ago and it has blown my mind ever since.

I can't say i love the blue note era with neil but they did put out some interesting and some good work.

I doubt neil would go back to them though, but who knows. he seems happy just touring with his buddies now. I would kind of see it like him going back out with pearl jam as his band that was cool for that time but neil moved on.

When it comes to "never" i'll never say neil young will never do anything.
(does that make sense)

Neil did release the This Note's For You album w/ the Bluenotes back in the late 80s. the title track's video won video of the year at the VMA's that year. funny because it was banned.
