10 Acoustic Songs On Vinyl LP!
Unreleased 1976 Solo Album!
Neil Young recorded 10 songs with his acoustic guitar on August 11, 1976 at Indigo Studios in Malibu - these songs make up the album Hitchhiker.
"Many of the songs (from the August 11, 1976 session) have surfaced on previous Young albums, albeit in different forms: "Human Highway" appeared two years later on 1978's Comes a Time, while "Powderfinger," "Ride My Llama" and "Pocahontas" showed up on Rust Never Sleeps (1979), and "Captain Kennedy" came out on 1980's Hawks & Doves. Hitchhiker also contains a pair of never-before-released songs – "Hawaii," "a soaring ballad," and "Give Me Strength," which Young has occasionally performed live.
"Young recorded Hitchhiker with David Briggs, who helped produce many of Young's most famous albums, including Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush and On the Beach. John Hanlon, another long-time collaborator, contributed some post-production to the original Malibu recordings." - rollingstone.com, August 4, 2017
