NY: Really literally, we'd only been together for six or seven days when "Down By The River" was cut. EB: Was there any reason that you did it that soon, instead of waiting? NY: I just wanted to go ahead and do it, I just wanted to catch it... because there is something on those records that was recorded... like it was when we were really feeling each other out, you know, and we didn't know each other, but we were turned on to what was happening. So I wanted to record that, because that never gets recorded. And that's what that album is, it's just the bare beginnings. And the change between that album and the next album is really gonna blow a lot of minds. Neil Young Rolling Stone by Elliot Blinder April 20, 1970
