It’s already going to be a big year for Neil Young, but that didn’t stop him from announcing another archival album. 

The 74-year-old musician has announced that he’s working on a new archival LP. Road of Plenty will feature material from the mid-to-late 1980s as well as live recordings from a 1986 Crazy Horse tour and unheard 1989 studio work with his Saturday Night Live band

“It was my fault that we didn’t get together at the time and have a reunion tour and album,” Young said in his announcement of Road of Plenty. “I don’t even know why. It was my own fault. I should have done it. Apparently I was distracted by other things at the time. Life was moving fast, perhaps a bit too fast for me to see.”

While Road of Plenty is slated for a 2021 release, Young has plenty of music en route with Homegrown, an LP shelved in 1975, resurrected and planned for June 19, Return to Greendale on July 17, The Neil Young Archives Volume 2 on August 21, the 1990 Rust Bucket gig on October 16 and the 1971 solo acoustic show Young Shakespeare on November 27.
