Neil Young has announced a new live album, made up of recordings from various shows on his November 1976 solo tour. Titled Songs for Judy, the 22-song record was curated by Cameron Crowe and photographer Joel Bernstein. 1976 was a banner year for Young, who spent the majority of it on the road. For his November shows, Young would open with a solo acoustic set before his band Crazy Horse joined him onstage.
Songs for Judy is due out November 30 (with a vinyl release on December 14) and will be the debut release from Young’s Reprise Records imprint, Shakey Pictures Records. Today, Young has shared “Campaigner,” which was recorded at his November 22nd, 1976 gig at Boston’s Music Hall. Listen to it below and read the album tracklist.
