Neil Young Calls ‘Homegrown’ The ‘One That Got Away,’ Apologizes For Delay

Neil Young has apologized for the delay in releasing his 1975 album Homegrown, calling it “the one that got away.” The music legend is finally releasing the LP this year.

“I apologize,” Young wrote on his website. “This album Homegrown should have been there for you a couple of years after Harvest. It’s the sad side of a love affair. The damage done. The heartache.”

“I just couldn’t listen to it. I wanted to move on. So I kept it to myself, hidden away in the vault, on the shelf, in the back of my mind,” he added. “But I should have shared it. It’s actually beautiful. That’s why I made it in the first place. Sometimes life hurts. You know what I mean.”

Young noted that Levon Helm and Emmylou Harris were among the artists who recorded with him.

He said the album “contains a narration, several acoustic solo songs never even published or heard until this release, and some songs played with a great band of my friends.”

Young said Homegrown would be his first release of 2020, though he didn’t disclose a release date.

“This is the one that got away,” he added. “This album, in vinyl, displays the beauty, feeling and depth of music record in the analog domain, before digital. It’s the perfect example of why I can’t forget how good music used to sound.”
