Mountains

Intimate, late-career reflections anchored by virtuosic thumb-picked guitar and a circle of legendary friends. A warm, sparse collection of desert-hued rock and folk.

It's like a masterclass in soulful guitar playing recorded in a living room with his most famous friends.

A gentle, soulful meditation on aging and love, punctuated by flashes of virtuosic guitar brilliance.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sharp, rhythmic snap of Nils' signature thumb-pick attack cutting through the sparse arrangement of track 1.

Neil Young's unmistakable haunting harmony vocal drifting into the mix on Nothin's Easy.

The unexpected, elegant resonance of Ron Carter's upright bass providing a woody foundation to Only Your Smile.
