So, musically we are very similar… it just seemed like the right thing. And we remember what they felt like, so that's our history. We've done things before, but we've never completed a record before, which doesn't mean anything because the things we did, we remember. I'm going, "Who's going to help me do this?" And so, I thought of Rick because he's here, it's his place. So, here I am and then I said, "Well, I'm going to call Rick now," because I thought of Rick right away. I was very, very lucky to get this place again. Usually you can't get in this place." I mean, I'm going, I got it, it's three days later. And so I called and I booked the studio and I said, "God, that was easy. I just finished that and I was back here and I said, "God, it'd be nice to get in the studio and do some stuff." Checked it out and the Horse was ready to go. I'd written a couple of other songs and one of them was Chevrolet. So then I started thinking maybe four, five months later it might be nice to go to do some stuff.
That is significantly, completely in another zone, and not thought of or sitting down to feel anything…just walking. No words, no instrument, no chord changes. 8 out of 10 of them started with the melody, with no instrument. Neil Young on The Origin of New Album ‘World Record’ and Reuniting with Rick Rubin… That's why there's 51, 52 albums because I want to do this and I can still feel it. I figured that's why they like it, because I don't care. Neil Young on His Prolific Musical Output… Young discusses the reason for his prolific musical output (“I'd be crazy to stop”), the origin of the project and what he loves about working with Rick, why he avoids social media (“it scares the s**t out of me”), why he decided to sell the rights to his catalog and how he feels when his music is used commercially, his forthcoming documentary film to mark the 50th anniversary of ‘Harvest’, his quest to identify new ways to tour in a more environmentally friendly way, meticulously managing his archive, and more. Apple Music’s Zane Lowe travels to Rick Rubin's iconic Shangri-La recording studio in Malibu for a conversation with Neil Young and Rick about Young’s new album with Crazy Horse entitled ‘World Record’, which Rick produced.
