The Music Universe reports that “On the Beach” features an impressive lineup of musicians. Crazy Horse’s rhythm section, with Billy Talbot on bass and Ralph Molina on drums, lays down a solid foundation. Members of The Band, Levon Helm, and Rick Danko, bring their distinctive sound to the album.
Other key players include Ben Keith, Tim Drummond, Rusty Kershaw, David Crosby, Graham Nash, and George Whitsell from The Rockets. This diverse group of collaborators adds depth and richness to the album’s sound.
The recording sessions took place at two iconic locations. Neil Young’s Broken Arrow Ranch in Northern California provided a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Sunset Sound in Hollywood brought a professional studio environment to the mix.
The combination of these talented musicians and inspiring recording spaces contributed to the album’s enduring musical significance. “On the Beach” showcases Neil Young’s ability to bring together a variety of musical voices and create something truly special.
