Neil Young Toast

Neil Young's highly anticipated album, Toast, is finally here, marking its official release after years of anticipation. Recorded at Toast Studios in San Francisco around the turn of the millennium, Toast captures the raw power and energy of Neil Young and his legendary collaborators Crazy Horse at the height of their musical prowess.

For decades, Toast has remained a near-mythical album, whispered about in collector's circles and surrounded by intrigue. With three never-before-released songs, it's a treasure trove of unheard material that fans have eagerly awaited.

In a candid reflection on the album, Young described Toast as a musical exploration of a relationship on the brink of collapse. It's a time when both parties realize that it's over, long before the official breakup. This emotional backdrop sets the tone for the album, which is heavy and distressed, filled with electrifying tension.

From the opening track "Quit," with its bittersweet refrain of "Don't say you love me," to the explosive energy of "Standing In The Light of Love" and "Goin' Home," Toast is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. "Timberline" delves into the struggles of an out-of-work logger wrestling with his faith, while "Gateway of Love" takes listeners on a hypnotizing 10-minute journey towards a more hopeful future. The somber and introspective "How Ya Doin'?" and the poignant finale "Boom Boom Boom" showcase Young's raw vulnerability as he bares his broken heart through his guitar.

With Toast, Neil Young once again proves his status as a musical icon, delivering an album that encapsulates the essence of his artistry. This long-awaited release is a testament to Young's enduring talent and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotions in his music.
