Neil Young Shares New Single ‘Vacancy’

Neil Young premiered “Vacancy,” one of 12 tracks that appears on his previously unreleased Homegrown studio album. Homegrown, featuring songs recorded between June 1974 and January 1975, will finally be issued next Friday, June 19 via Reprise Records.

Young described Homegrown as “the unheard bridge between Harvest and Comes A Time.” Neil plays guitar, harmonica and piano on the album with contributors to the LP including Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, Ben Keith, Karl T. Himmel, Robbie Robertson and Tim Drummond.

“Vacancy” is one of seven songs that have never been released by Young prior to their inclusion on Homegrown. That batch of songs also includes the album’s lead single, “Try” as well as “Separate Ways,” “Mexico,” “Kansas,” “We Don’t Smoke It Anymore” and “Florida.” The later is described as a “spoken word narration.” Neil Young has never performed “Vacancy” live as per Sugar Mountain.
