Neil Young<\/a> has moved from the fireside of the home he shares with actress Daryl Hannah to their barn for the newest chapter of his ongoing Fireside Sessions<\/em> streaming concert series. They are calling it a Barnyard Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The session begins in a large field where Young plays his 2014 Storytone<\/em> tune \u201cTumbleweed\u201d on the ukulele, which was the standard show closer at his 2017 and 2018 solo acoustic shows. The action then moves near a barn where he plays \u201cHomegrown\u201d as chickens mill about and feed. After noodling around for a bit on what sounds like an instrumental version of \u201cSpeakin\u2019 Out\u201d from Tonight\u2019s the Night<\/em>, he performs a moving rendition of \u201cHarvest,\u201d the title track to his 1972 LP that was partially recorded in a barn.<\/p>\n

The Harvest<\/em> theme continues with \u201cOld Man,\u201d followed by a rare acoustic version of \u201cEverybody Knows This Is Nowhere.\u201d He wraps up the show with an epic \u201cWar of Man\u201d from Harvest Moon<\/em>, which he sings in the doorway of the barn as the sun sets.<\/p>\n

This is his fifth Fireside Sessions concert since the series began in mid-March. They\u2019ve all been directed by Hannah, who films them on her iPad. \u201cThe sessions will continue,\u201d Young recently wrote on the Neil Young Times Contrarian<\/a> section of the Neil Young Archives<\/em>. \u201cThey\u2019re good for us all. I hope we don\u2019t run out of songs, but probably that would take a long time. These songs are for all of us, left, right, in between. ALL. We are stronger together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next month, Young is finally releasing Homegrown<\/em>, an album he recorded in 1974 and shelved in favor of Tonight\u2019s the Night<\/em>. Some of the songs appeared on future records, but others have never been heard before.<\/p>\n

Young hasn\u2019t played in public since Farm Aid in September 2019. He was planning a Crazy Horse North American arena tour for this year, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to postpone it indefinitely. \u201cMay be a couple of years before I feel safe asking people to come and see\/hear me,\u201d he recently wrote on the Neil Young Archives<\/em>. \u201cThat\u2019s just the way it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
