“Neil Young Rascals” is the title of a new album from The Tribe, a collective of some of Los Angeles’ most gifted singers and musicians.
As its title would suggest, “Neil Young Rascals” is a set of songs revisiting the iconic catalogs of both Neil Young and The Young Rascals, re-imagined by The Tribe’s stable of gifted musicians and recorded at Rock Cellar Studios in Southern California.
The project was produced by Michael Stern, and some of the musicians featured on the album include guitarists Grant Geissman (Chuck Mangione) and Fuzzbee Morse (Lou Reed), bassist George Bunnell of Strawberry Alarm Clock fame, Mark Pender and Joe Sublett from Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s band on horns, John “JT” Thomas (Bruce Hornsby, Rita Coolidge) on accordion and organ, Stanley Behrens (War) on harmonica, and many of the Tribe’s core band members. Singer spotlights include Gary Stockdale, Mark Lennon, John Pratt, Bill Cinque, Rob Bonfiglio, Chris Paul Overall, Cara Lee, Steve Goddard, Terrell Edwards, Freebo, and Alice Howe.
Since 2015, the Tribe has been performing live music events and has produced several recording projects in support of the Get Together Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to action since 2004. They assist children and families in need, which includes bridge housing shelters, mobile meal delivery, crisis relief, and a music enrichment program serving underprivileged youth. With the help of several valued partners, GTF has been able to deepen its reach in the community. Their work spans Southern California, providing cooperative services with several other action-based organizations.
