Oceanside Countryside is the latest of Neil Young's great ""lost"" albums to be released as part of his Analog Original Series. The album was recorded from May to December 1977, preceding the release of Comes A Time in 1978. The two albums share the same country/folk sound, and three songs (""Goin' Back"", ""Human Highway"" and ""Field of Opportunity"") appear on both albums. The vinyl release of Oceanside Countryside includes some tracks that are on the CD of the same name in Neil Young's Archives Vol. III. However, this track list is how Oceanside Countryside was originally planned to be released. Recorded on tape, these are the original mixes done at the time of recording. All the songs on ""Oceanside"" are performed solo by Neil Young. On ""Countryside,"" Young is joined by a band of his friends: Ben Keith (Steel Guitar), Rufus Thibodeaux (fiddle), Karl T. Himmel (drums), Joe Osborne (bass). On ""The Old Homestead"" Tim Drummond plays bass and Levon Helm plays drums. ""Pocahontas"" is Young solo. Please note that while the songs on Oceanside Countryside appear on Archives Volume III, the versions are not always the same and the track list is the running order for the original Oceanside Countryside album.
