Neil Young, Live at the Cellar Door, Feature CD, 12/27

Tune in to KSUT at noon Friday (Dec. 27) for this week's feature CD: Neil Young's "Live at the Cellar Door." The album is the latest in Young's ongoing Archives Performance Series, and it collects recordings made during the Canadian singer/songwriter's intimate six-show solo stand at The Cellar Door, a venue in Washington D.C., between November 30th and December 2nd, 1970. Since the gigs were only a few months after his timeless third solo album, "After The Gold Rush," was released and five of the thirteen tracks here are from that very record, including 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' and 'Don't Let It Bring You Down'. Also featured, is 'Cinnamon Girl' performed on piano rather than guitar, a handful of Buffalo Springfield songs, including 'Expecting To Fly' and 'Old Man' which wasn't released until two years later on 1972's "Harvest" album. Correctly answer Jim Belcher's trivia question at about 12:30 and you could win lunch at Zia Taqueria!
