More on Tonight's the Night
Description from Wikipedia:
Tonight's the Night is a 1975 album by Neil Young.
Dark, heartfelt, and raw, Tonight's the Night was recorded in 1973 but initially rejected by Young's record company (a running theme in Young's career) as the second uncommercial release in a row and an unacceptable follow-up to his popular breakthrough, Harvest, and too stark a contrast with Young's work with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Young's album was a startlingly direct expression of grief: Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten and Young's friend and roadie Bruce Berry had both died of drug overdoses in the months before the songs were written. The title track mentions Bruce Berry by name, while Whitten's guitar and vocal work highlight "Come on Baby, Let's Go Downtown", recorded live in 1970. (The song would later appear, unedited, on a live album from the same concerts, Live at the Fillmore East.)
