Notes
This version was inspired by DEVO in attitude, moving a lot faster than the original earliest recording of ‘Sedan Delivery’, a ‘Zuma’ out-take, soon coming to the archives. Sedan Delivery is one of my favorite ‘Crazy Horse’ songs of all time. “It sure was hard to find." Neil Young NYA - Now Showing in the Hearse Theater April 10, 2019
The album Zuma is the first album we made with Crazy Horse after Poncho joined the band. It’s one of my favorites. The cover is by Mazzeo and came out of a conversation we had on a day trip from the ranch to Zuma. We set up a Green Board control room in Briggs’s den. We played in the garage. One day Bob Dylan, who lived nearby, came along and sang a blues tune with us. On a break, Bob and I took a walk around the neighborhood, talking about the similarity in some of the paths we had each taken. It was the first time we had ever really talked. I liked him. Back at Briggs’s, we kept playing day after day and partying at night. We did the original “Powderfinger” and held it back. We did “Sedan Delivery” and held it back. My song “Born to Run” was recorded, left unfinished, and held back. “Ride My Llama” was completely finished and mixed and held back. We recorded a lot of tunes and held them back, but we released “Cortez,” “Don’t Cry No Tears,” “Stupid Girl,” and a bunch of other tracks on Zuma. It has a great feeling to it. Today I like listening to all of those tracks together in a compilation I call Dume that is in The Archives Volume 2. Those were some of the finest, most alive days of my life. I was getting past the lost relationship with Carrie, living the life with my best friends, making some good music, and starting to get a grip on something: an open future in my personal life and a new future with Crazy Horse after Danny. Neil Young Waging Heavy Peace Sept 2012
With Poncho in the band and me living down in Zuma on the beach, I started writing. The first song I wrote there was Cortez the Killer. Sedan Delivery, Dangerbird and some others followed. ‘Zuma’ was recorded in David Briggs’ house on Point Dume, high over Zuma beach. Late night/early morning, after recording, I would walk the two miles up the beach to my house, trying to come down from whatever drugs I might have taken. I know I am lucky to be here today. Two songs we tried and did not get were ‘Powderfinger’ and ‘Sedan Delivery’. They didn’t make the cut for Zuma. Neil Young NYA - Album of the Week - Zuma September 4, 2019
