Neil Young and Crazy Horse's New Album 'Fu##in' Up' Was Recorded at Toronto's Rivoli

Following news of their spring North American tour, Neil Young and Crazy Horse have detailed new album Fu##in' Up.

Nine tracks in length, Fu##in' Up captures a secret, surprise set at Toronto's Rivoli that Young and Crazy Horse performed last November, reportedly hosted by Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss.

Sure enough, Reiss appears in album credits hosted on the artist's Neil Young Archives website, which also point to additional guitar, piano and vocals from Micah Nelson — the youngest son of Willie Nelson, who performs and records as Particle Kid.

At the Rivoli that November evening, Young and the Horse were said to have performed their 1990 album Ragged Glory in its entirety. Fu##in' Up's tracklist, found below, largely stays true to that LP's track sequence, though closer "Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)" is absent. Save for the band's cover of "Farmer John," the new release's songs have been retitled using fragments of their lyrics.

"In the spirit it's offered...made this for the Horse lovers," Young shared of the album in a statement. "I can't stop it. The horse is runnin'. What a ride we have. I don't want to mess with the vibe. I am so happy to have this to share."

Young has shared that Fu##in' Up will first see release as a limited edition, clear vinyl 2LP set as part of Record Store Day 2024, complete with a lithograph print of the album art. This edition will also be available on April 20 via Young's own Greedy Hand Store, ahead of black vinyl, CD and digital editions arriving widely on April 26.

The live recording of "Over and Over," now titled "Broken Circle" on Fu##in' Up, can be heard in the player below.
