Transcription
Background
Neil Young made his directorial debut with the 1973 film Journey Through the Past and later directed the 1982 comedy film Human Highway.[1]
Production
Muddy Track was created during Neil Young's 1986/7 European tour with Crazy Horse. Large portions of the film were shot by Young himself.[2]
Release
In April 2015, the film was screened alongside Human Highway at the IFC Center for a retrospective on Young's directorial work.[2]
Sections of the film were featured in the 1997 Jim Jarmusch documentary Year of the Horse,[2] which followed Young's 1996 tour with Crazy Horse.[3]
Information
Shot largely with a handheld camera (dubbed 'Otto' by Young), Muddy Track documents a difficult tour of Europe, plagued by poor weather, dwindling ticket sales, backstage arguments and audience riots. In an interview with MOJO in 1995 Young claimed that Muddy Track was among the favourite of all his films: "It’s dark as hell. God, it’s a heavy one! [...] But it’s funky".[citation needed]
