Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Oh, Lonesome Me (1975)

This album is an imagining by The Reconstructor, based on an original idea for a track listing by sydfloyd, of what could have been Neil Young & Crazy Horse's second album, had Young not decided to deliver the solo 'After The Goldrush', and had Crazy Horse not been gearing up to release their eponymous debut album the following year. If Young & Crazy Horse had stayed together they might have come up with something along the lines of this reconstruction, taking songs from 'Crazy Horse' (which might have been added to the track listing, and therefore sung by the band rather than Young), and adding ones that Young had written but didn't include on 'After The Goldrush', along with Crazy Horse versions of some that did. 'Birds', for instance, is a different version to that on ATG, and 'Winterlong' was only available on live bootlegs until around 1976, despite being a great song. I've put this together and posted it as The Reconstructor doesn't post links, and so I've found all the songs and I've also done a bit of editing to some of them.

  1. This album tracklist was actually compiled by myself, not the 'Reconstrutor'. I posted the idea on 'Albums That Never Were' in January 2015. I only mention it because I'm kinda proud of it!

  2. Hi sydfloyd. I found your original post, and you're right - The Reconstructer must have been so impressed that he used your exact track listing for his post in Feb this year. Glad to give you a credit in the notes.
