That was one point where I think overdubbing worked, especially on that one song, “Goin’ Back.” “Goin’ Back” was originally done in Triad. I did all the guitars by myself and went to Nashville and put the other stuff on there—put Nicolette on there. That’s one of my favorite records. It’s funky. Not that it’s technically great, that’s for sure. The sounds are a little muddled. It’s got a great amount of feeling. It had a lot of feeling in its straight acoustic versions, too. There’s something there that’s me, that record. It tells a story—“Goin’ Back” is sorta like the debris of the sixties. There’s nowhere to stay, nowhere to go and nothin’ to do. You could go anywhere … Neil Young "Shakey" by Jimmy McDonough 2002
I made most of Comes a Time in Florida by myself, with these kids that were startin’ a recording studio—Triad. It was great. Used to come in in the afternoon and work three, four hours, go home. Did it all during the day. Acoustic guitars. Come in, lay down a basic, then I overdubbed—all me. Do overdubs on it with my acoustics, try a whole bunch of stuff. I did all kinds of things there—“Lost in Space” “Pocahontas” “Human Highway” “Goin’ Back.” Neil Young Shakey by Jimmy McDonough 2002
