Enjoy the holidays!

Starting now: we will periodically be offering new videos, featuring LIVE performances filmed during the recording of the Alive In The Spirit World album.

This month we present an alternate version of "On the Horizon", with a unique "false start" introduction. It features scenes from Mendocino, riveting guitar solos and an impassioned performance from Billy.

Also of note...
Neil's new Greatest Hits album features Billy on five of the cuts. In the limited edition package with the "Super Saturated Stereo" DVD, that DVD includes classic pics of Billy and the rest of Crazy Horse dating back to the Topanga Canyon days. Also later ones with Poncho.

Compared to the original CD releases of the albums that these cuts came from, the sound quality in this new package is outstanding.

Billy recently talked with Glide Magazine about the new album, about Crazy Horse, and life in general. The extensive interview is now on their site.

A link to that interview has been posted to the Press page here on BillyTalbotBand.com, for future reference. By the way, if you had tried the old link there to the Six-String.com interview from a few years back and had problems reaching it, that interview is available again. For you gear-heads out there, in that one, Billy does a rundown on his guitars and other equipment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 2004

Billy Talbot -Original Member of Neil Young's
Crazy Horse - To Release "Alive In The Spirit World"
on Sanctuary Records, October 5th, 2004
    "For such a gruff, rough-hewn kind of guy, Talbot sings with a surprisingly fragile, gentle voice…. His music shares a certain spare, midtempo quality with Young's." --San Francisco Chronicle
New York, NY- Billy Talbot, an original and long-standing member of Neil Young's seminal band Crazy Horse, is going solo. The Billy Talbot Band is set to release their first solo project on October 5th, 2004 on Sanctuary Records. The enhanced CD, Alive In The Spirit World, will include bonus footage of the Billy Talbot Band performing live.

Alongside Billy Talbot's vocals and various guitars, the lead guitar for the band is handled by Rain Parade alumnus and Crazy Horse contributor Matt Piucci. The rest of the band includes Jeff Chase on bass, Stephan Junca on drums, Erik Pearson on keyboards, harmonica and guitars and Tommy Carns on guitars and banjo. To keep the spirit alive, everyone helps out on vocals.

Alive In The Spirit World is a collection of beautifully crafted epic songs that are soon to become a favorite for fans who have followed Billy's career with Neil and the new ones he's about to make with this stellar debut.

Look for the Billy Talbot Band on tour this fall.
