THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Take a journey with maverick musician Neil Young in this personal, behind-the-scenes doc as he cruises the coast on his recent solo tour.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker (and Young’s wife) Daryl Hannah, Coastal offers a glimpse behind the curtain of this unguarded iconoclast, as he navigates a return to the stage post-Covid — from his everyday observations on the bus to his candid, wry banter with his audience. The illuminating film also features songs rarely, if ever played live, performed in breathtakingly beautiful theaters.
Coastal: The Soundtrack is a live recording and companion piece to the documentary recorded during Young’s 2023 Coastal solo tour. The album features 11-songs selected from Young’s 60-year career, recorded live on his 2023 tour, ranging from I Am A Child to Vampire Blues, and featuring Young on guitars, piano and harmonica. It is as intimate a live album as Young has ever recorded, created at a time when the world was coming out of hibernation from the pandemic. Recorded in several cities, it is an album for the ages as the singer-songwriter finds new emotional power in 11 of his songs.”
