Young and Crazy Horse recorded the album Toast "around the turn of the millennium" at San Francisco's Toast Studios but the prolific and notoriously mercurial artist soon thought better of releasing it.  "Quit" and "Goin' Home" appeared on 2002's Are You Passionate?, the former in a re-recording with a different band (including Booker T. Jones, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Crazy Horse's Frank "Poncho" Sampedro).  Still other tracks including "Standing in the Light of Love" were familiar from Young having played them live in 2001.  Young teased a release in 2008, telling Rolling Stone at the time that it was a "mind-blowing record...great rock and roll, very moody, kind of jazzy."  On July 8, listeners will finally have a chance to hear (on CD, vinyl, and digital formats) what Young and Crazy Horse cooked up two decades ago.  Their last collaborative album to date, Barn, was released in 2021.
