NEIL YOUNG COASTAL: THE SOUNDTRACK OUT NOW VIA REPRISE RECORDS
COASTAL SOLO TOUR DOCUMENTARY FILM TO DEBUT IN SELECT CINEMAS WORLDWIDE TONIGHT FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
11 SONGS FROM THE 2023 SOLO TOUR TAKEN FROM THE FILM OF THE SAME NAME, DIRECTED BY FILMMAKER DARYL HANNAH
April 17, 2025 – (Los Angeles, CA) – For Neil Young, music and film have always had a very long and close relationship. Not long after the rock & roll master started making records, he turned to the movie camera. Coastal: The Soundtrack is a live solo recording and companion piece to the filmed, Daryl Hannah-directed tour documentary recorded during Young’s 2023 Coastal solo tour.
Coastal: The Soundtrack album is available now, a day earlier than previously announced, to coincide with the Coastal solo tour documentary film of the same name, in theaters today around the world. Originally scheduled to screen for just one day, many cities are adding dates due to high demand.
Coastal: The Soundtrack features 11 songs selected from Young’s 60-year career, recorded live on his 2023 solo tour, ranging from “I Am a Child” to “Vampire Blues.” The album also features Young on guitars, piano, and harmonica. It is as intimate a live album as Neil Young has ever recorded, created at a time when the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. Recorded in several cities, it is an album for the ages as the singer-songwriter finds new emotional power in 11 of his songs.
Coastal: The Soundtrack will be available in all formats, including black vinyl, CD, digital, and Dolby Atmos. A limited-edition clear vinyl pressing with an exclusive poster will be available exclusively through The Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives (NYA) and Indie retailers. Pre-order now and receive an instant download of “Vampire Blues.”
All formats will be available at The Greedy Hand Store at Neil Young Archives (NYA) and music retailers everywhere. Accurate hi-res digital audio will be available at Neil Young Archives. Remember, except for Qobuz, DSPs present digital audio that is not true hi-res – unless it is specifically requested in the app’s settings. All purchases from The Greedy Hand Store come with free high-resolution digital audio downloads from the NYA Download Store.
The Coastal film was shot and directed by acclaimed filmmaker and Young’s wife, Daryl Hannah, and will be distributed worldwide by Trafalgar Releasing. The film is a personal, behind-the-scenes documentary about Neil Young as he cruises the coast on his 2023 solo US tour, offering an up-close and intimate look into the life of one of history’s most iconic songwriters and musicians. Capturing Young as he navigates a return to the stage post-COVID, Hannah allows the audience to be an observing participant in a rare, candid peek behind the curtain of this unguarded iconoclast. It’s a celebration of living that has been a long time coming, and it illuminates who Neil Young is up close and personal, where he came from, and in many ways, where he was going: Coastal.
