Neil Young has announced plans to release a new studio album titled Barn with his frequent backing band Crazy Horse, due out on December 10.

Young revealed the news in a post on NeilYoungArchives.com, while making available one of the album's tracks, "Song of the Seasons," exclusively to paid subscribers to the website.

According to information posted on the site, Barn was recorded "high in the Rockies" at Le Mobile Remote Recording Studio, with Crazy Horse's current lineup -- the founding rhythm section of bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina, and multi-instrumentalist Nils Lofgren, who rejoined the band in 2018 after previously playing with the group during the early 1970s.

Neil says "Song of the Seasons" is the oldest song on Barn, and was "written about this time last year." According to the website, the track was recorded in June of this year.

Barn is a follow-up to Young and Crazy Horse's 2019 album, Colorado.

In other news, Young recently announced that he's preparing an expansive audio and video collection titled Harvest Time that will feature various outtakes and film footage recorded during the time he was making his classic 1972 album, Harvest. He notes that Harvest Time, which will include "[a]lmost two hours of Harvest rarities," will arrive in 2022.
