Neil Young - Songs For Judy (CD)

Neil Young - Songs For Judy (CD)

The debut release on Shakey Pictures Records, Neil Young's own imprint distributed by Reprise Records, Songs For Judy is a thoroughly engaging collection of live acoustic performances culled from Neil's November 1976 solo tour and features 22 songs recorded at various cities along the tour. This song cycle of live recordings is particularly powerful and unique. Young had spent much of the year travelling around the world on tour with Crazy Horse. When touring on his own, he recharged and focused on songs that would not surface in recorded form for several years.

The raw versions of the tracks found on Songs For Judy reflect an artist completely unvarnished and unafraid to allow the songs to breath and to find their own shape when performed in a solo setting. Songs written in that era would come into focus and then seemingly disappear only to re-enter Young's orbit somewhere down the road.

Songs For Judy captures lightning in a bottle, illuminated for all time.
