With the unreleased 1973 album Tonight's the Night in the can, Young would record On the Beach in the Spring for a July 1974 release. He would convene Crosby Stills Nash and Young at his ranch for abortive albums sessions before launching an excessive summer stadium tour with the group. At Broken Arrow Ranch on June 17th, Young recorded "Through My Sails" with the quartet. "Love is a Rose," a reworking of his earlier "Dance, Dance, Dance" was recorded with bassist Tim Drummond on June 16th, as well as "Pardon My Heart." "Pardon My Heart" would receive backing vocal overdubs from Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot in August 1975 and see release along with "Through My Sails" on that year's Zuma album with Crazy Horse. On tour, Neil would pause to record another new song, "White Line," as a duet with The Band's Robbie Robertson[2] That year, Young would debut seventeen new songs in concert.[2] After the tour, Young held recording sessions in Nashville, Los Angeles and at Broken Arrow for a new album. A December 11 session at Quadraphonic Sound Studios in Nashville with Levon Helm yielded "The Old Homestead." "Star of Bethlehem" and "Deep Forbidden Lake" were recorded two days later at the same studio. "Little Wing" was recorded January 21st at the Village Studios in Los Angeles. The songs from these sessions are largely acoustic, with many of the songs being solo performances of Young on guitar and harmonica. Young has said that "Homegrown is the missing link between Harvest, Comes a Time, Old Ways and Harvest Moon."[3] The songs are quite personal, and revealed much of Young's feelings on his failing relationship at the time with actress Carrie Snodgress. "It was a little too personal...it scared me" Young would later explain to Cameron Crowe in interview.[4] It was so near to being released that a cover had been created. At the last moment however, Neil Young chose to drop Homegrown and release Tonight's the Night, an unreleased album recorded in 1973 instead.[5]Young stated that he had a playback party for Homegrown and Tonight's the Night happened to be on the same reel. He decided to release Tonight's the Night after that listening because of "its overall strength in performance and feeling" and because Homegrown "was just a very down album."[1] Unreleased songsIn his authorized biography of Neil Young, Shakey, author Jimmy McDonough offers descriptions of several of the performances captured during the sessions:
Other songs from these sessions include "Barefoot Floors", "Bad News has Come to Town", "Tie Plate Yodel #3", "Kansas", "Mexico" (the latter two "solo Young performances—short, fragmentary and hallucinogenic") and "Florida" ("some cockamamie spoken-word dream [printed out, for reasons no one can remember, in the booklet for 'Tonight's the Night'], set to the shrieking accompaniment of either Young or Keith drawing a wet finger around the rim of a glass").[3] There has been much confusion and speculation as to which of these 10 songs were slated for the album's final track selection. Additionally, Young also had other songs like "Mediterranean," "Through My Sails," and "Hawaiian Sunrise" (aka "Maui Mama"), scheduled for a water-themed album; other songs, including "Human Highway," "Pushed it Over the End" and "Traces" were saved for the planned CSNY reunion album that would not materialize for another 14 years. Contrary to speculation, these songs were never considered for the Homegrown project. Release of songs on later albumsIn a 1975 Cameron Crowe interview for Rolling Stone, Young indicated a desire to release parts of Homegrown on subsequent albums, citing, for example, the "beautiful harmonies" of Emmylou Harris.[4] Over the next few years many of the songs would be released on subsequent albums:
Several songs recorded during the sessions have been rerecorded or appropriated for other Neil Young projects.
Young would also resurrect several of the unreleased songs for live performance later in his career, and incorporate them into setlists in the 1990s and 2000s.[6]
Additionally, the lyrics of "Florida" were superimposed over the credits for On the Beach on the insert that accompanied the original vinyl release of Tonight's the Night. The song "Barefoot Floors" was covered by Nicolette Larson on her album Sleep, Baby, Sleep. Future releaseIn 2010, Neil Young's on-line newspaper stated that Homegrown along with other period unreleased albums were being "rebuilt" for inclusion in the second volume of his Archives project. Unlike similar unreleased collections from this period of Young's career, such as Chrome Dreams and the session acetates for Tonight's the Night, Homegrown has never been circulated in whole as a bootleg. PersonnelElliot Mazer produced the sessions. Musicians on the album included Tim Drummond, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, Karl T. Himmel, Ben Keith, Robbie Robertson, Ben Scribner and Ellen Talbot.
