Who’s Gonna Stand Up: Neil Young Opens Fan Vote for Archives Projects
Once considered a pipe dream for longtime fans, The Neil Young Archives project continues to gain momentum. In the last few years, Young has released a number of standalone Archive Series albums like Hitchhiker, Roxy: Tonight’s The Night Live, Songs for Judy, and Tuscaloosa. Looking ahead, it appears the lost 1975 album Homegrown may finally be released sometime this quarter, plus there’s talks of a big Archives II box set.
But in typical Neil Young fashion, it appears that many projects are in development at the same time and in various degrees of completion. To help narrow things down, Neil and the Archives Team have set up a form that lets fans vote the three projects they want most out of a mouthwatering list of 26 possible choices. You can find the complete list below and cast your vote for your favorites!

TOAST me, now!
I just wish he would release separately the CDs from his second collection of studio CDs. Not all of us bought that set fast enough and now it’s way too much $$$
Lived close to Neil for years. Tunitas creek Rd.
So many fun times at Alex’s Mountain House after Cow Palace shows, Catalyst S.C..
Glory daze he he.
Know all the gang,
Neil is the genius of lyrics,prose, guitar marksmanship.
I have his style BIG when I jam.
In addition, I am inspired by a lot of musicians that inspire him.
Oceanside/Country Side
Harvest Time
Island in the Sun
Good choices! I see now that the poll on Neil’s website is closed. Hopefully it won’t be long before we learn what’s coming up!
