Welcome back to All One Song, a Neil Young podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. All summer long, we're talking to some of our favorite musicians and writers about their favorite Neil Young song. Or at least one of their favorite Neil Young songs. This week, our All One Song guest is Ethan Miller. Ethan has been a longtime fixture in the underground, first coming to my attention back in the early aughts as the co-founder of the psych noise pioneers Comets on Fire. But Ethan is nothing if not prolific — he's played with an array of awesome bands over the years, from Howlin Rain to Feral Ohms to Odyssey Cult. Ethan was also one-fourth of Heron Oblivion with our previous guests Meg Baird and Charlie Saufley … and he's one-third of the Orcutt Shelley Miller trio, with another previous guest Steve Shelley. It's all a rich tapestry, right? At least when it comes to Neil Young. The upcoming — and totally amazing — Orcutt Shelley Miller record is being released on Ethan's own label Silver Current, which is one the most reliable purveyors of sweet sounds both new and old. In recent years, Silver Current has brought us excellent, bootleg-styled archival hauls from Sonic Youth, Galaxie 500 and Earthless, alongside fresh tunes from Magic Fig, Julie Beth Napolin, Growing and many more. Suffice it to say, the Silver Current insignia is a true trademark of quality. For his All One Song appearance, Ethan selected a terrific mid-90s deep cut — “Music Arcade.” This ghostly solo acoustic number showed up on the otherwise Crazy Horse-fueled Broken Arrow in 1996. It's an enigmatic meditation on loneliness that doesn't offer the listener any easy answers, like a comet in the sky.

This week's All One Song guest is the definition of a multi-hyphenate — your friend and ours, Jesse Jarnow. Jesse is an incredible writer, having penned such essential books as Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock, Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America,  Wasn't That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist, and the Battle for the American Soul, and the forthcoming epic, The Invisible Hit Parade: A People's History of Recorded Music. You're probably going to recognize Jesse's voice. He's a longtime DJ over at WFMU, the world's greatest free-form independent radio station, hosting the Frow Show every Tuesday night, bringing strange and wonderful sounds to the masses. He's also a podcaster, writing and co-producing the amazing Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast, which recently kicked off its 12th season. The Deadcast's depth of research, insight and sweet vibes puts pretty much every other podcast to shame—including this one. Finally, Jesse is one-third of Sloppy Heads, a long-running Brooklyn-based band with two excellent albums, Useless Smile and Sometimes Just One Second under their belt. Now that we've gotten Jesse's bona fides out of the way … which Neil Young song did he select to talk about with us on All One Song? Well, Jesse dug way down in the rust bucket for “Sedan Delivery,” a raucous number that first appeared on the classic 1979 Crazy Horse LP Rust Never Sleeps.  “Sedan Delivery”'s history stretches back several years, though — Neil and the Horse first tried it out during the Zuma sessions in 1975, giving it a somewhat lumbering lope. You can hear that version these days on Chrome Dreams. But with the subsequent dawning of punk, Neil and the crew injected this weird, semi-sci-fi with a dose of pure, demonic energy. Though it was hard to find in setlists for a little while there, by the mid-'90s, it became a mainstay in Crazy Horse's live repertoire, giving the band a chance to gleefully drive 90 miles an hour down a dead-end street.

Album Medusa - Quái vật 30 năm tuổi đời

Album Medusa của diva Annie Lennox chính thức bước sang tuổi 30 vào năm 2025. Tuyển tập ca khúc trong Medusa đã nghĩa lại cover tác phẩm kinh điển qua nhãn quan của diva hàng đầu. Tầm vóc diva nước Anh Anniex Lennox là trụ cột, ca sỹ/nhạc sỹ chính của nhóm nhạc Eurythmics, Anh Quốc cùng với tay guitar kiêm nhạc sỹ Dave Steward. Bộ đôi gặt hái thành công vang dội trong thập niên 1980 nhờ các bản hit như Sweet Dream, Here comes the rain theo trào lưu synth-pop, new wave. Sinh năm 1954 tại Aberdeen, Scotland (Anh), bà tạo ấn tượng mạnh nhờ phong cách nổi loạn: tóc ngắn, nhuộm màu cam, mắt tô chì đen lạnh lùng. Sau thành công của nhóm Eurythmics, Annie Lennox tách ra hát solo bằng album kinh điển Diva (1992). Abum này được giới phê bình và khán giả đón nhận nồng nhiệt với nhiều bản hit như Why (Tại sao), Walking on broken glass (Bước trên thủy tinh vỡ). Nhờ chất giọng contralto, Annie có dấu riêng bản sắc giọng và ca khúc đậm chất thơ với nhà sản xuất Stephen Lipson. Các ca khúc gắn tới tên tuổi bà được chăm chút kỹ lưỡng từ giai điệu, ca từ, phối khí. Đáng chú ý  Annie Lennox là đồng tác giả sáng tác nhiều ca khúc trong album Diva. Album Medusa gây tranh cãi Medusa, album solo thứ hai trong sự nghiệp của nữ diva Scotland, sản xuất năm 1995 lại tạo nên tranh luận trái chiều. Toàn bộ album hát lại (cover) các tác phẩm kinh điển của Neil Young, Bob Marley, Al Green. Hình bìa album, Annie Lennox hóa thân thành quái vật Medusa có sức mạnh “hóa đá” người nghe. Tờ AllMusic cho rằng Annie Lennox chọn đôi giày quá rộng và quá sức của diva, nên chăng tập trung vào một thể loại có thế mạnh. Tờ Rollingstone ưu ái hơn với album Medusa, cho rằng nỗ lực của Annie Lennox ngang ngửa album solo đầu tay Diva. Ca khúc mở màn và đinh nhất của album là No More I love you (Em không còn yêu anh) hát lại của nhóm Lover Speaks. Bản gốc của nhóm nhạc Anh chỉ lọt vào hạng 58 bảng xếp hạng Anh Quốc, nên rất ít tiếng tăm. Nhờ bàn tay phù thủy nhà sản xuất Stephen, bản cover có cấu trúc rõ nét và mạch lạc. Diva thể hiện lối hát liêu trai cùng chất giọng đặc trưng. Bà đẩy được cao trào bản nhạc, luyến láy và tạo được bản sắc cá nhân. Lớp phối khí dày và chất giọng diva bay bổng trong bản cover mà khán giả quên hẳn bản gốc. Ca khúc leo lên hạng nhì bảng xếp hạng Anh và giành giải Grammy 1995 – Trình diễn pop xuất sắc nhất. Ví dụ này cho thấy sự độc đáo trong cách làm mới ca khúc nhờ khai thác giai điệu cốt lõi và thế mạnh của ca sỹ thể hiện. Thành công thương mại Album gặt hái thành công thương mại đáng kể nhờ bản hit No more I love you. Album đứng thứ 11 trong bảng xếp hạng Billboard 200 album bán chạy nhất tại Mỹ cùng năm. Con dao hai lưỡi của No more I love you khiến cho các đĩa đơn tiếp theo trong album bị đặt lên bàn cân. Đĩa đơn thứ hai, A Whiter Shade of Pale, hát lại bản gốc nhóm rock Anh, Procol Harum năm 1967. Bản nhạc gốc có giai điệu khá hấp dẫn với ca từ khó hiểu với nhiều tầng lớp ẩn dụ văn học. Đại ý tình cảm nam nữ phát sinh sau khi đã say men trong bữa tiệc đêm hè. Bản phối tao nhã nhờ tiếng keyboard nền nã làm nền chắc chắn cho giọng ca Annie. Một tác phẩm khác được bà hát lại, Take me to the river (Đưa em tới con sông) của Al Green. Bản nhạc gốc được thể hiện theo thể loại R&B và soul còn diva kịch tính hơn với chất pop/rock. Trong Don't let it bring you down (Đừng để điều đó khiến bạn thất vọng), nhà sản xuất đem tới hơi thở mới cho bản gốc của nam rocker Neil Young. Phần intro (mở bài) có giai điệu rất bắt tai và phần kết thúc có độ ngân nga kéo dài. Chất giọng nữ cao của Annie làm chủ được cuộc chơi, phơi bày được giai điệu cuốn hút nhất. Kỹ thuật và bản năng âm nhạc Đề cập tới phổ âm nhạc rất rộng trong album, Annie chia sẻ : “Album tuyển chọn những bài hát tôi bị thu hút bởi nhiều lý do. Tôi không chọn dựa trên chủ đề hay nội dung cụ thể mà chỉ là bản năng âm nhạc hơn là sự tính toán. Tôi rất biết ơn cơ hội này vì sản phẩm này thực sự là lao động nghệ thuật đích thực.” Giải thích của Annie cho thấy bản năng nghệ thuật mạnh mẽ của bà kết hợp cùng kỹ thuật đỉnh cao. Thách thức của tác phẩm kinh điển của nhóm pop/rock thập niên 1960,70 như The Clash, Temptation, Paul Simon không làm nản lòng Annie. Tuy là album cover, nữ diva biết cách phiên dịch ngôn ngữ và giai điệu âm nhạc theo bản sắc của riêng bà. Tờ Metro Weekly cho rằng bà thâu tóm được giai điệu chủ đạo bài hát và thể hiện chất giọng đặc biệt của mình trên nền giai điệu cô đọng đó. Bản nhạc Train in vain hay I can't get next to you là món ăn mới lạ cho những khán giả quen thuộc công thức gốc nhờ tiết tấu beat mạnh mẽ và guitar Tây Ban Nha. Không thể phủ nhận vai trò nhà sản xuất Stephen trong việc chế biến “bữa tiệc” âm thanh phong phú trong Downtown Lights hay The Thin Line Between Love and Hate (Ranh giới giữa yêu và hận thù). Đĩa đơn thứ ba của album, Waiting in vain (Chờ đợi vô vọng) là thành công khác của album. Annie thể hiện bản tình ca rất nền nã, lắng đọng trên giai điệu guitar so với bản nhạc raggage gốc của Bob Marley. Nếu đặt các bản gốc và bản cover cạnh nhau, khán giả mới cảm nhận sự khác biệt và mức độ sáng tạo đỉnh cao. Cho dù làm mới ở mức độ nào, người nghe nhận ra chất giọng và lối thể hiện dấu ấn cá nhân của Annie Lennox. Bản phối mới có sự đầu tư kỹ lưỡng , tính toán tỷ mỉ sao thể hiện ý đồ của nữ diva. Ba thập kỷ trôi qua, album Medusa (1995) được đánh giá là một trong các sản phẩm xuất sắc trong sự nghiệp solo của diva Annie Lennox. Tuyển tập ca khúc trong Medusa định nghĩa lại một cách hoàn hảo thế nào là hát lại những bản nhạc kinh điển. Không nhiều nghệ sỹ xuất sắc hơn Annie Lennox, làm mới toàn diện, chắt chiu linh hồn bài hát gốc. Quan trọng nhất, nữ điva thể hiện bản sắc cá nhân nổi bật.

Welcome back to All One Song, a Neil Young podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. This week is going to be slightly different. This week, we're talking about a song that was not written by Neil Young. Nevertheless, it's a song that is very much a part of the Shakey multiverse: Danny Whitten's “I Don't Want To Talk About It,” which appeared on Crazy Horse's debut LP in 1970. Danny Whitten, of course, was one of Neil's key collaborators and musical soul mates before his untimely death in late 1972. A little while later that decade, Rod Stewart took “I Don't Want To Talk About It” to the top of the charts. But it's Whitten's version that remains definitive. Here to guide us through the impossibly lonesome landscapes of “I Don't Want To Talk About It” is singer-songwriter Rosali Middleman—or just Rosali if you prefer. She's been a longtime fixture over at Aquarium Drunkard. But even though we've loved pretty much everything she's done, she somehow seems to get better with each new album. Her latest release, Bite Down on Merge Records, may well be her best effort yet. And that's saying something! It's packed with exceptionally well-crafted songs that feel as if you've known them your whole life. An instant classic, as they say.   Bite Down is Rosali's second album with the Omaha-based Mowed Sound, which features David Nance, James Schroeder and Kevin Donahue. As we speak here in August 2025, Rosali and Mowed Sound are touring the USA, and I strongly encourage you to go see them. They're a terrific live act … and there are definitely plenty of Crazy Horse vibes, as we discuss.

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio wrap up their cycle of Musicians on Film by diving into the filmography of Tom Waits, once dubbed a "performer, singer, actor, magician, spirit guide, changeling" by the great Neil Young. Joined by Madeline's dad Richard, the trio kick off the conversation by discussing Waits' starring role in Jim Jarmusch's "Down By Law", and ponder the similarities between his character Zack and his well-known boozy troubadour persona. The group then pivots to Francis Ford Coppola's campy classic "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and agree that Waits' interpretation of R. M. Renfield is the necessary constant in such a sprawling film. And although our subject only appears in one of the six vignettes that make up Joel and Ethan Coen's "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", the conversation would not be complete without taking the time to appreciate Waits' magnetism as the prospector in "All Gold Canyon".Subscribe to Richard's Substack for pieces on politics, satire, anger, and more at substack.com/@mcmongrelIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Given Mr Young's insane amount of releases in recent years, I suspect this maybe one fans have skipped. You shouldn't. In a banner year for live performances from Young (Glastonbury etc), this attendant studio album is one of the most ramshackle he's ever made, but its full of idiosyncrasy and Young in the now. Unusually specific personal lyrics, churning garage rockers and several gentle ballads, that show he has lost none of his ability to craft melodies and songs as pretty as Helpless or Harvest Moon.

We have the sensation that a general gravity is pulling us toward a highway. Ashtrays and lamps and pillows are sliding in the direction of the Hollywood Bowl. Soon we are being pulled down a special kind of highway that has truckstops and rest areas. When we stop, we turn, and to our astonishment, there are huge crowds that look at us as they wait for Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts to emerge from the men's bathroom. While they wait, there are songs about the Earth and a shouting man who is wearing a suit like a southern preacher. He doesn't make sense. He says, "The Earth is Alive!"

1995 - October: Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"

The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, both commercially and critically.  Their 30 million album sales worldwide makes a strong case for their importance to the alternative rock movement.  The band was formed in Chicago by guitarist James Iha, bassist D'arcy Wretzky, percussionist Jimmy Chamberlin, and frontman/guitarist Billy Corgan.  Corgan writes much of their material and has been the sole member to be continuously present in the group since their formation.In 1995, Billy Corgan wrote about 56 songs and wanted to creat a double album.  His vision was for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to be "The Wall for Generation X."  The album was intended to be a conceptual piece portraying the cycle of life and death.  The band brought in Flood and Alan Moulder to co-produce the album.  Flood had the band change its routine for this album, having the group start recording in the rehearsal space rather than the studio in order to better capture their live sound.  He also required the band to set aside time in each day for just jamming and song writing in order to keep the process from becoming a grind.The result of this effort was both a critical and commercial success.  "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200, the only Smashing Pumpkins album to do so thus far.  The 28 songs spanning two CD's, and three vinyl LP's earned the band nominations in seven categories at the Grammy Awards, and the band won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal for the single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."Lynch brings us this smashing multi-album for today's podcast. 1979The second single from the album features loops and samples, more of a synth-pop sound than had been present previously in Smashing Pumpkin songs.  According to Corgan, this song was the last of the 56 songs he wrote for the album.  The lyrics paint a picture of the transition from youth to adulthood, waiting for something to happen just around the corner.Bullet with Butterfly WingsThe lead single from the album was the band's first top 40 hit in the United States, reaching number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Musically this track has a more grunge vibe than alt rock.  The lyrics are a somewhat overly dramatic portrayal of the pain that comes from being a rock star and the downsides of fame.ZeroThe shortest song on the album relates to a feeling of apathy, and being let down by emotions and spirituality.  "Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness."  Corrigan's signature look is a black shirt with the word "ZERO" printed on the front.Tonight, TonightThe symphonic orchestration of this song shows some of the diversity of the tracks on this album.  The inspiration for this song is Corgan's departure from Chicago to pursue his dreams, leaving an abusive childhood behind.  The Chicago Symphony Orchestra participated in the recording with a 30-piece string section.  This song went to number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 7 on the UK Singles chart. STAFF PICKS:Downtown by Neil YoungRob open this week's staff picks with a grunge piece from the Godfather of Grunge.  Members of the band Pearl Jam provide the backing instrumentation for this song and the album "Mirror Ball."  The lyrics reference Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, and hippies doing the Charleston and the Limbo.Lump by The Presidents of the United States of AmericaWayne's staff pick is about a woman who is on the singer's mind like a lump of cancer in his brain.  Clocking in at about 2 minutes, this is more of a punk song than alt rock or grunge.Hard as a Rock by AC/DCGregg brings us the first and most successful single from AC/DC's thirteenth studio album "Ballbreaker."  This album marks the return of drummer Phil Rudd to the band for the first time since 1983.  This song has a more blues-oriented sound than the heavy metal sound more typical of their well-known songs from the 80's.   LEI (Laugh/Entertainment/Instrumental)  TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture "Strange Days"This science fiction film noir movie starring Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett takes us out of this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?NXTGen”NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Welcome back to All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast. We're spending the summer talking to some great musicians and writers about their one favorite Neil Young song. Or at least one of their favorite songs. Last week, our guest was Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth — and of course, the conversation went deep into Steve's memories of Sonic Youth's tour with Neil and Crazy Horse in 1991, when both bands were bringing incredible waves of feedback to the masses across North America. An exciting time! For Neil, the tour resulted in a fairly traditional live album, the classic double-disc Weld. But that wasn't all. Inspired partly by what he heard Sonic Youth doing, Young also put together Arc, one of — if not the — most avant-garde pieces of music Young has ever created. Basically, it's a 35-minute noise collage consisting of the elongated and improvised endings of various songs that he and the Horse played in early 91. It's the sound of amplifiers pushed to their limits, of things falling apart in ragged, glorious fashion. It's an expressway to yr skull, as Sonic Youth put it. Here this week to examine the mysteries and magic of Arc is Ilyas Ahmed. The Portland, OR-based musician has been making consistently fascinating music for well over two decades now, whether all on his own or in close collaboration with fellow travelers like Grouper, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Golden Retriever, Dania Shihab and many more. He also serves as guitarist in Grails, an awesomely uncategorizable collective that just put out one of the 2025's best records — the appropriately named Miracle Music. No matter what Ilyas does, it's always infused with a sense of curiosity, adventure and imagination. Our conversation about Arc goes in a bunch of different directions — it's a rich text, as the academics like to say. So let's get into it … Looking for a digital music platform that feels more like a record shop? ⁠⁠⁠Qobuz⁠⁠⁠ is the high quality music streaming & download platform for music enthusiasts and audiophiles, offering unique editorial, exclusive artist interviews, expertly curated playlists, liner notes, and more.

Welcome back to ⁠All One Song⁠, A Neil Young Podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard. We're spending the summer talking to a few of our favorite artists and writers about their favorite Neil Young song. This week, we've got someone very special: Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth. Steve spent about 25 years behind the drum kit for Sonic Youth as the band radically redefined and reimagined rock and roll. He's easily one of the greatest drummers of the past four decades, as heard on such classics as Sister, Daydream Nation, Washing Machine, Murray Street, and beyond. His style is explosive, sensitive and always imaginative. Steve is so much fun to listen to, in pretty much any context.   Since Sonic Youth called it quits, Steve has kept incredibly busy, not only managing the ever-expanding SY archives, but also playing with his former bandmates Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore, Can vocalist Malcolm Mooney, Bush Tetras, Tape Hiss and the forthcoming Orcutt / Shelley / Miller LP coming out on Silver Current Records later this year. We've heard this one already and it is absolutely fantastic. Steve also currently is handling drumming duties for the killer Winged Wheel. For those of you seeing Neil at Bethel Woods in upstate New York on August 24 this year, be sure to get there a little early. Winged Wheel will be warming things up on a separate stage, which is sure to be amazing. Now, the topic has already come up in previous episodes — Sonic Youth's early 1991 tour with Neil Young & Crazy Horse, which saw both bands bringing their ear-shredding, feedback-laced sound to arenas across North America. Steve goes deep into that never-to-be-repeated moment in time plenty over the course of our discussion. But we also talk plenty about Steve's All One Song selection, "Vampire Blues." A song that just so happens to have inspired the name of Steve's record label, too. "Vampire Blues" was released in the summer of 1974 on the classic Ditch LP On The Beach. A seedy, bluesy shuffle, it seems to be sung from the point of view of an oil tycoon of some sort; though it doesn't really sound like it at first, this is one of Neil's ecological songs. He barely ever played it live at first, but he's revived it in the past decade or so; it showed up most recently in solo electric guise on the Coastal soundtrack.

In March 2017 Lacy J Dalton was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame, and in 2022 she was awarded a Lifetime Career Achievement Award from the Josie Music Awards, the largest independent music awards show in the country.   She's one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country's Bonnie Raitt.” From the first time Lacy J Dalton caught the public's ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of Country Music. When you sit to listen to a Lacy J Dalton album, you find yourself pulled in by the very power and heart of this vocalist, because she's not merely performing a ten-song set, she's bringing each and every tune to life. It's as if they were all written especially for her.   Prior to recording with Harbor Records in 1978 as Jill Croston, she like many before her, held many jobs to survive and support her family. As a truck stop waitress and singer, she would wait tables and then take the stage to sing a few songs. In June 1979, Lacy J Dalton was signed by Columbia Records and quickly rose to national prominence with Crazy Blue Eyes, which she wrote with her longest friend, Mary McFadden, and which raced to #7 on the Billboard Country Charts.  Her hard work and dedication paid off in 1979 when she was awarded the Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist of the Year.   Lacy's success was powered not just by the artist's recordings, but by a stage show that truly electrified audiences. She quickly became one of the few women who could successfully open a show for the likes of Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard or Charlie Daniels. Not only could she do it, but she left audiences across the country hollering for more. Her signature song 16th Avenue, became the Anthem for Nashville songwriters.  Her other hit records are legendary million-airplay cuts and include Crazy Blue Eyes, Takin' It Easy, Everybody Makes Mistakes, Hillbilly Girl with the Blues, Hard Times, and the worldwide hit Black Coffee.   In addition to her Top New Female Vocalist award, she also brought home numerous Grammy nominations and 3 prestigious, back to back (1979, 1980, 1981) Bay Area Music Awards for Best Country-Folk Recordings. Lacy appeared on those shows with the likes of Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane.   Lacy's collaboration with Willie Nelson on his platinum Half Nelson CD was a high spot for her. Lacy is the only woman featured on that recording (which included singing legends Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias, George Jones, Leon Russell, Carlos Santana, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Sr., and Neil Young), and was awarded a Platinum Record for it. She also received a Gold Record from Hank Williams Jr. in 1985 for her support performances throughout his Five-0 Tour, where she opened for him at a time when it was unusual for a woman to do so. Her career includes accomplishments in music, film and radio.  In music, they range from her instantly recognizable charted hit songs to her notable duets recorded with George Jones, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell, Eddie Rabbit, David Allen Coe and many others. Her film debut was in the motion picture Take This Job And Shove It, and her acting has also included live stage and theater performances. Until recently, Lacy J Dalton also hosted a weekly radio show called Mustang Matters.  Podcasts of past shows are available to listeners on the internet at www.americamatters.us   Following a successful career in country music, Lacy decided to draw on all her musical experiences including country, rock and folk, and cross over into the Americana genre.  This blend of musical styles allows her to express herself in a way that demonstrates all the facets of who she is as a singer/songwriter.  She became an independent artist and formed her own label called Song Dog Records.  Under this label, she has released three albums to date.  The first was Wild Horse Crossing in 1999, followed by the Last Wild Place Anthology which went #1 on the World Independent Chart, and a year later went #1 on the American Western Music Chart. Then Allison Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's daughter, used the hit song Slip Away from the Anthology CD on the sound track of her independent film, Don't Tell. In 2010 Lacy also released a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. entitled Here's To Hank.   Today, Lacy continues to record new music and perform live shows whenever possible.  She tours mainly west of the Mississippi and loves small boutique venues and old theaters with great sound quality and warm, receptive audiences she can really connect with.  She recently recorded some electrifying new music for an EP that was released in January 2019.  When hearing the signature song Scarecrow, her good friend Reverend Barbara Ann Fletcher remarked “that song makes you a whole new you, and it makes me a whole new me.”  And that's exactly the response Lacy was hoping for.  In 2024 Lacy released an album titled For The Black Sheep, a collection of songs with meaningful lyrics and messages of unity and acceptance for all of us.   In addition to her musical career, Lacy has been involved in various service projects through several charitable organizations – namely, the Let ‘em Run Foundation, William James Associates Arts in Corrections, and Rotary International.

Welcome back to All One Song, A Neil Young Podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard. We're spending the summer talking to a few of our favorite artists and writers about their favorite Neil Young song.  This week, you're getting two fantastic guests for the price of one: Meg Baird and Charlie Saufley. Meg first came to my attention thanks to her work with the innovative Philadelphia psych-folk collective Espers, and since then she's created a pretty much flawless solo career — her most recent record, 2023's Furling, is a perfect showcase for her pristine guitar work and beautiful vocals. Charlie Saufley co-produced that record with Meg and the duo also played in Heron Oblivion with Ethan Miller and Noel Von Harmonson — a group that only managed one studio record during their existence, but that's ok. That one studio record was awesome. Charley also played in the Bay Area psychedelic rock group Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound; he's a killer guitarist, and — like Meg — is a serious Neil head. That last fact should be apparent in the tune Meg and Charlie selected for their All One Song appearance: “Interstate.” This brilliantly moody number is a strong candidate for the best Neil Young song that barely anyone knows about. Though you probably know about it if you're here. Neil debuted “Interstate” onstage in 1985 with the International Harvesters. But like so many of his strongest songs during that era, it was set aside for reasons that only Shakey can fathom. A few years later, producer David Briggs convinced him to cut the song with Crazy Horse during the Ragged Glory sessions. It's an incredibly haunting performance, with skeletal acoustic guitars and high, lonesome Horse harmonies. But Neil still wasn't feeling it —we guess “Farmer John” needed to be heard! Finally in 1996, that Ragged Glory performance was released on the Big Time CD single and as a vinyl only bonus track on Broken Arrow. These days, you can get it on the recent “Smell The Horse” edition of Ragged Glory. So yeah, it's a long, twisted story, as is the case with a lot of things in the Neil Young world. But “Interstate” deserves a place in the pantheon of Neil classics, regardless of its relative obscurity. It's this kind of song that turns a casual fan into, well, an obsessive, promising that there's always more buried treasure lurking in the Shakey archives.

Richard Clapton: Stories Behind Australia's Summer Soundtrack

A Breath of Fresh Air

When you talk about iconic Australian singer-songwriters, it doesn't take long before Richard Clapton's name comes up. For over five decades, Richard has been one of Australia's true rock poets — the kind of artist whose songs become part of people's lives, the soundtrack to long road trips, beach holidays, and nostalgic nights on the back deck with a cold beer in hand.Born on Sydney's north shore, Richard grew up like a lot of kids — dreaming of music that took him beyond suburbia. In the late 60s and early 70s, Richard packed up and headed for Europe, guitar slung over his shoulder, busking in the streets and absorbing the counterculture that was blooming across the continent. When he returned, Richard brought with him a suitcase full of songs and stories that reflected not just his travels but the changing face of Australia itself. In '73, he released his debut single Last Train to Marseilles. But it was his '75 album Girls on the Avenue that really made people sit up and listen. The title track turned Richard Clapton into a household name almost overnight.Through the mid-to-late '70s, Richard released a string of albums that are now regarded as cornerstones of classic Australian rock music. Richard carved out a loyal audience that followed him from smoky inner-city pubs to big festival stages. His songs were — and still are — snapshots of the Australian psyche: romantic but real, hopeful but tinged with a knowing sadness.But Richard didn't just write for himself. He became a sort of elder statesman for the Aussie rock scene, helping to mentor up-and-coming acts that would soon become legends themselves. Bands like INXS, Cold Chisel, and Mental As Anything all found a kindred spirit in Richard, whose lyrics and attitude proved you could write songs about Australian life that were poetic, gritty, and universal all at once. He even produced INXS's second album, helping shape the band's early sound before they broke big internationally.If you've ever seen Richard Clapton live, you'll know that he's the real deal. His voice — warm, slightly weathered, and instantly recognisable — carries the weight of decades on the road and in the studio. He has that easy rapport with an audience that only comes from years of standing on a stage, guitar in hand, telling stories through song. For many Australians, his gigs are like a reunion with an old friend — everyone singing along to Girls on the Avenue or swaying to Deep Water as if no time has passed at all.What makes Clapton's story so compelling is that he never really chased fame for fame's sake. He's always seemed more interested in writing the next great song than chasing trends. And yet, he's ended up as one of the true pillars of Australian rock, a fact recognised when he was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1999.Today, well into his seventies, Richard Clapton is still out there doing what he loves most — writing songs, recording new music, and hitting the road to play to crowds who still know every word. In recent years, he's released new albums like Harlequin Nights and Music Is Love (1966–1970), a tribute to the songs and artists that shaped him, from Bob Dylan to Neil Young. His autobiography, The Best Years of Our Lives, published in 2015, pulls back the curtain on decades of wild gigs, unforgettable characters, and the hard-won wisdom that comes from surviving the ups and downs of the music industry.And yet, for all the tours, albums, and accolades, it's the songs that matter most. Ask any fan what Richard Clapton means to them, and you'll likely hear a story about summer days driving up the coast or seeing him live for the first time.In an industry that's constantly changing, Richard Clapton stands as a reminder that great music is timeless. Singer-songwriter, rock poet, mentor, and living legend Richard Clapton joins us here to share his stoires. Check the website for gigs near you.

Welcome back to All One Song, A Neil Young Podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. We're spending the summer talking to a few of our favorite artists and writers about their favorite Neil Young song.  Our guest this week is Jeff Parker, best known as the guitarist for the long-running Chicago post-rock group Tortoise. Jeff  has been on a serious hot streak of late. He's released awesome, entirely solo records like Slight Freedom and Forfolks, along with great albums with the New Breed. He's collabed with heavy hitters like Daniel Villareal and Makaya McKraven. He's been an invaluable part of the Big Ego label's session player roster, contributing to great records by Psychic Temple, Dave Easley and Maria Elena Silva. And Jeff is the leader of one of the most exciting improv groups working today — the ETA quartet, featuring Parker, drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss and saxophonist Josh Johnson. Their second LP, The Way Out of Easy, was one of the very best records of 2024. Oh and did we mention that there's a brand new Tortoise album on the way later this year? Jeff is a busy dude, to say the least. Now Jeff might not seem like the most obvious All One Song guest — his and Neil's styles feel miles apart. At least at first! But as we get into in our conversation, Jeff has found some serious inspiration in Young's unique approach to the acoustic guitar. And the acoustic guitar is central to the song he selected to talk about: “The Needle and the Damage Done.” This haunting solo number from 1972's Harvest remains one of Neil's signature tunes. It's a song that even the most casual of fans knows by heart. But Jeff's perspective on this warhorse opened it back up — and hopefully it'll do the same for you.  Looking for a digital music platform that feels more like a record shop? ⁠Qobuz⁠ is the high quality music streaming & download platform for music enthusiasts and audiophiles, offering unique editorial, exclusive artist interviews, expertly curated playlists, liner notes, and more.

1970 - April: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Deja Vu"

What the Riff?!?

We covered the self-titled debut album from Crosby, Stills & Nash in episode 137.  Deja Vu is considered the second Crosby, Stills & Nash album, but it is actually the first album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with Canadian songwriter Neil Young turning the trio into a quartet.While the album continues to feature the signature harmonies associated with Crosby, Stills & Nash, it has a harder, more rocking edge to it. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the addition of Neil Young to the album, but it also reflects the challenges the group members were facing.  Both Stephen Stills and Graham Nash had gone through break-ups in their relationships, and David Crosby tragically had lost his girlfriend Christine Hinton in a car accident.The album was highly anticipated, generating $2 million in pre-sales before its release.  It became a gold record only 14 days after release, and was on the Billboard 200 album chart for 88 weeks.  Contemporary critics provided mixed reviews, but the album has only grown in stature over time, with many reviews considering it amongst the top albums ever produced.  Deja Vu was inducted into the Grammy Hall of fame in 2012.After its release, each of the principal members of the group would record solo albums, and the success of Deja Vu contributed to the individual success of these four solo projects.Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Young) would continue to produce albums over the decades with their last collaboration occurring in 2015.  The death of David Crosby in 2023 ended the possibility of full reunions.Wayne brings us this soft rock singer-songwriter live album for this week's podcast. Carry OnThe opening track to the album was penned by Stephen Stills who also provides lead vocals.  It is a medley of two songs edited together with a jam session connector, and came together surprisingly fast during a time when most songs were taking a long time to finish.  The lyrics encourage the band members to keep going through times of struggle in relationships both within and outside the band.Teach Your ChildrenGraham Nash wrote this song in 1968 when he was with The Hollies, but had not recorded it with that group at the time.  Nash has associated the song with a photograph exhibit showing a child playing with a toy hand grenade, and the lyrics encourage parents to be careful in how they teach their children.  Neil Young does not play on this song, but the steel guitar is provided by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. WoodstockUnlike the other tracks on this album, this song was not written by any of the band members, but was penned by Joni Mitchell.  Mitchell had not attended the Woodstock festival, but was inspired to write this song told from the perspective of a concert goer after hearing her then-boyfriend Graham Nash relay the account.  It has become a signature song for the group and a staple of the 60's counter-culture.  Our HouseGraham Nash wrote this song as a description of a day spent with then-girlfriend Joni Mitchell and her two cats in their Laurel Canyon home.  The song was written in an hour on Mitchel's piano.  It went to number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion Picture "Patton"This epic starring George C. Scott was playing in the theaters in 1970.  It won seven Academy awards, including Best Picture. STAFF PICKS:Let It Be by The BeatlesLynch starts the staff picks with a song inspired by a dream.  Paul McCartney's mother, Mary Patricia McCartney, died of cancer with Paul was 14.  In the dream, his mother encourages her son by saying, "It's all right, just let it be."  This single and title song from the final Beatles album debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 before topping those charts.Cecilia by Simon & GarfunkelRob brings us the third single from the fifth and final album by Simon & Garfunkel, "Bridge Over Troubled Water."  It was developed in a late night jam when the duo and friends were banging on a piano bench and recording the sound with a tape recorder.  The lyrics depict the heartbreak of a boy delivered from Cecilia his unfaithful lover.The Rapper by The JaggerzBruce features the most successful single from the band whose guitarist and primary songwriter would go on to be Donny Iris.  The song is a warning to the ladies not to be taken in by a smooth talking man telling them lies.  It went to number 2 on the charts.Superlungs My Supergirl by Terry ReidWayne's closes out the staff picks with a cover originally written by Donovan about a 14-year old groupie.  Terry Reid was Jimmy Page's first pick to be lead singer of Led Zeppelin, but was unavailable at the time due to his touring schedule with Cream and the Rolling Stones.  Reid would acquire the nickname of Superlungs. NOVELTY TRACK:Pineapple and the Monkey by The FacesThis instrumental from The Faces debut album takes us out for this week.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Madeline Kenny is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Oakland, Ca. Her 5th record, Kiss From The Balcony is due out July 18th via Carpark records and is a follow up to her acclaimed release New Reality Mind.  Madeline shares her early relationship with music and why an education spilt between formal piano training and an all-ages punk venue proved to be a rounding experience.   She tells us how she accidentally fell into making her first recording with Chaz Bundick from Tori y Moi and why the neutrality of their relationship played a role in that process. Joe and Madeline discuss the current music landscape and why taking advantage of the NOW is more important to Madeline that chasing the moving target of media consumption.  Madeline tells us how recording Kiss From The Balcony at Tiny Telephone Studio gave her more freedom and dramatic license than previous records and why she is dedicated to performance both in the studio and live. We learn how Madeline feel in love with sideburns, how she came to be in a Neil Young cover band, and she reveals her next cover band project.

Subscribe to All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast Welcome to the very first episode of All One Song: A Neil Young podcast, presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. Join liner notes author, musician, and Shakey historian Tyler Wilcox and an array of great musicians and writers discussing their favorite Neil Young song, diving deep into Shakey lore and getting personal about this amazing body of work. It's a series for Neil heads by Neil heads. Our first guest on All One Song should need no introduction for long time Aquarium Drunkard readers. But let's give him one anyway! For the past 15 years or so, ⁠Steve Gunn⁠ has built up one of the strongest, most wide-ranging catalogs in independent music. He's released classic albums on such labels as Three Lobed, Paradise of Bachelors, Matador and more. Steve is a singer-songwriter-guitarist triple threat with a powerful sense of adventure and imagination that's always worth paying attention to, whether he's collaborating with drummer John Truscinski in the ⁠Gunn-Truscinski Duo⁠, creating beautiful soundscapes ⁠with David Moore⁠, or ⁠playing all on his own⁠. Steve's latest album, ⁠Music For Writers⁠, falls into the latter category. Coming out on August 15 on Three Lobed, this is his first completely solo instrumental record — he played all the instruments, building luminous, hypnotic pieces that encourage the listener to slow down and really listen. The songs here aren't just ambient background sounds. They're sonic meditations that take you to some other place.   The solo aspect of Music For Writers dovetails nicely with the Neil Young song that Steve chose for us to discuss: “Will To Love.” This is a unique one in Neil's catalog and a song that's prized by die-hard Shakey fans. Accompanied only by a crackling fire, Neil recorded the basic track at his ranch in the spring of 1976, somewhere in between his European tour with Crazy Horse and the ill-fated Stills-Young Band trip that summer. Then he put it aside, for a few months, only returning to it in December of 76, when he went into Indigo Studios in Malibu to overdub vocals, keyboards, guitars, drums, even vibes, aided and abetted by producer David Briggs. By the time it was released on American Stars n Bars in 1977, “Will To Love” was a ghostly, seven-minute piece of music that's unlike almost anything else he'd done before or anything he's done since.

Welcome back to All One Song: A Neil Young Podcast, presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. You may have noticed our awesome theme music. No, you're not hearing some unreleased Neil Young and Crazy Horse rehearsal. You're hearing Coca Leaves and Pearls, the Philadelphia-based Neil tribute band fronted by guitarist Chris Forsyth and featuring John Murray (guitar), Jordan Burgis (bass), and Joey Sullivan (drums). They've been playing primarily Ditch-era Neil tunes at various clubs around the northeast for the past few years, bringing a very Horse-y vibe to the chosen few (you can check out a tasty recording via Archive.org). They're incredible—and Coca Leaves and Pearls was kind of enough to record some killer theme music for All One Song at Jeff Zeigler's Uniform Studios. Now, Chris Forsyth is much more than just the leader of a great Neil Young tribute band, of course. Much more! For more than a decade, he's been one of our favorite guitarists, blending Richard Thompson with Tom Verlaine, Robert Quine with John McLaughlin, Sonny Sharrock with … well, Neil Young. His albums with the Solar Motel Band are modern day classics, and his recent work with the Basic trio has been insanely good. Chris is an extremely tasteful player, but he's also willing to stretch beyond the barriers of tastefulness into the sublime. For his All One Song appearance, Chris selected “Lookout Joe,” which first appeared on Tonight's the Night just about 50 years ago in the summer of 1975. It's a darkly humorous tune that has all the hallmarks of Neil's Ditch era—that seedy swagger, a druggy vibe, Ben Keith's wild pedal steel and backing vocals, and some dangerous guitar work. “Lookout Joe” was recorded with the Stray Gators in late 1972 at Neil's northern California barn, but it's a million miles away from the country rock gloss of Harvest. As we get into in our conversation, “Lookout Joe” sees Neil taking on the changing and challenging times of the 1970s. A weird, dark era! It's a deep cut, but it's a deep cut that's very much worth getting into.  Looking for a digital music platform that feels more like a record shop? ⁠Qobuz⁠ is the high quality music streaming & download platform for music enthusiasts and audiophiles, offering unique editorial, exclusive artist interviews, expertly curated playlists, liner notes, and more.
