HITCHHIKER

2017 archive release from the iconic singer/songwriter. The songs on Hitchhiker were recorded in a single night with the intent of being released as an album. In his memoir Special Deluxe Young described the session quot;It was a complete piece although I was pretty stony on it and you can hear it in my performances.. I laid down all the songs in a row pausing only for weed beer or coke. Briggs was in the control room mixing live on his favorite console.quot; Many of the songs surfaced on Young albums American Stars n Bars Decade Comes a Time Rust Never Sleeps Hawks & Doves and Le Noise albeit in different forms. Hitchhiker also contains a pair of never-before-released songs: quot;Hawaiiquot; and quot;Give Me Strength quot; which Young has occasionally performed live.
