Neil Young and Crazy Horse to release album created in COVID-19 pandemic

Neil Young and Crazy Horse are coming out with 'Barn,' a new studio album they made while cooped up during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The legendary folk singer-songwriter says the 10-track release will arrive on Dec. 10 after being written and recorded over the past year.

Young debuted the first single, "Song of the Seasons," on his Neil Young Archives website on Wednesday.

He says the track, which also opens in the album, is the "oldest song on the record, written about this time last year" when he was staying in Canada.

"Song of the Seasons" directly addresses the pandemic with lyrics that acknowledge physical distancing through clear vinyl windows and face masks.
