In addition to the actual music, there’s an essay penned by Bill Bentley that accompanies the album on Young’s site. In it, Bentley explains why the album never was released when it was recorded in the mid-1970s.
While in quarantine, Young has been performing rarities in his Fireside Sessions livestreams. He’s also shared several songs, including a new version of “Southern Man” and wrote an essay in support of Black Lives Matter.
Previously, Young released “Try” and Vacancy” from the collection.
