Are You Passionate?

A surprising detour into Memphis soul featuring Booker T. & the M.G.'s. Warm, slow-burning grooves meet Neil's most vulnerable, late-night vocal performances.

It's Neil Young fronting a soul band in a smoky room at 2 AM.

A weary but soulful meditation on love and a changing world, delivered with late-night intimacy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The heavy, distorted stomp of Goin' Home breaking the album's mellow soul spell with a classic Crazy Horse roar.

Neil's fragile falsetto floating over the steady, understated groove of Booker T.'s Hammond organ on the title track.

The hypnotic, nine-minute rhythmic cycle of She's a Healer where the guitar lines begin to mimic brass phrasing.
