Neil Young & Crazy Horse have announced the release of a new album called Barn.

Set to arrive on December 10, the follow-up to 2019โ€™s Colorado comes after Young teased its arrival back in June, saying that โ€œthe Horse is back in the barn, shaking off the rustโ€.

Earlier this month, Young released Carnegie Hall 1970, the first release in his new official bootleg series.

The last couple of years have seen Young share a number of unreleased projects from his extensive vault, including 1975โ€™s Homegrown and a number of live recordings like 1990โ€™s Way Down In The Rust Bucket.

Meanwhile, Young has criticised hosting live shows during the pandemic, and called on big promoters to cancel their planned concerts.

In a recent blog post on his official website, Young labelled COVID-era gigs as โ€œsuper-spreader eventsโ€ and said โ€œthe big promoters are responsibleโ€ for any rise in cases that come from live shows.

โ€œThe big promoters, if they had the awareness, could stop these shows,โ€ Young wrote in the blog post. โ€œLive Nation, AEG, and the other big promoters could shut this down if they could just forget about making money for a whileโ€ฆ

โ€œThey control much of the entertainment business. They hold the power to stop shows where thousands congregate and spread. Itโ€™s money that keeps it going. Money that motivates the spreading. The big promoters are responsible for super spreaders.โ€
