Fireside Sessions

‘The Times’is a moving and topical solo acoustic performance,a unique collection of songs, filmed at home during lockdown as part of the raw and personal, ‘FIRESIDE SESSIONS’ series. The ‘PORCH EPISODE’ is the sixth session and is available only on Neilyoungarchives.com. The songs include - the EP - ‘Lookin' For A Leader - 2020,’ Alabama, Campaigner, Ohio, Southern Man, and Bob Dylan's ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’ closing with ‘Little Wing’ from the latest Reprise release, ‘Homegrown’.

Celestial Love contains recordings made in September 1982 at New York's Variety Studios, which had hosted countless Sun Ra sessions since the late 1960s. This was one of the last extended sessions at Variety, and these recordings were the last studio works released on Sun Ra's own Saturn label (though the label did continue to press concert recordings, and new studio recordings did appear on other labels). Aside from their inclusion on Celestial Love, tracks from these sessions landed on the albums A Fireside Chat With Lucifer and Nuclear War. Since Nuclear War's contents overlapped with both Fireside Chat and Celestial Love, we have reconstituted the latter two as complete albums, thus covering all titles from these Variety dates.
