When Neil Young and Crazy Horse release 'World Record' later this week, it will mark the first time Young has ever used them as his backing band on three consecutive albums. Nils Lofgren and Billy Talbot take us inside the Rick Rubin-led sessions.
“Poncho brought so much to the table, and we really miss him,” says Talbot. “He’ll always be a part of Crazy Horse. But when he was in the group, we weren’t doing many ‘Heart of Gold’-style [acoustic] songs. With Nils in there with us, we can do that. Neil can get on the pump organ or piano, we can play along, and that spirit comes out where we’re like, ‘We can do this too.'”came out in December 2021.
Lofgren arranged to stay in a bare-bones room at Shangri-La just steps away from the studio, while Molina and Talbot shacked up at a nearby hotel. “I walked in and there was theTonight’s the Night Molina was sent nothing in advance since Young wanted the drummer to just feel the songs out in the moment without any forethought. All the tracks were tracked live to tape, even Young’s vocals. “We didn’t play any of the songs over and over,” says Talbot. “We’d usually just do them once or twice.”
The energy picks up on the feedback-drenched “Break the Chain” and cools down on the nostalgic “The Long Day Before,” before kicking back into high gear on the 15-minute album closer “Chevrolet” — a guitar-driven tune that would have fit seamlessly onto the guitar-heavy records from Crazy Horse’s past. It’s about memories triggered inside Young upon seeing an old Chevrolet.
It’s a situation that’s caused Lofgren no small degree of anxiety, especially since an extensive 2020 Crazy Horse arena tour was on the books just before Covid hit. “Every time I call Neil’s manager and Bruce’s manager, I say, ‘Guys, I’m a half a century in. I paid some dues,'” Lofgren says. “‘Can you just let me create the schedules for Bruce and Neil for the next couple years, please?’ And they always tell me to get lost.
