Bluenote Café is a live album by Canadian / American singer-songwriter Neil Young, released on November 13, 2015, on Reprise. The album is volume eleven in Young's Archives Performance Series, and features performances from Young's 1987–88 American tours with the Bluenotes, with whom he recorded his seventeenth studio album, This Note's for You. The album cover art is a photograph of the frontage and marquee of the old Blue Note Café on Main Street in Winnipeg, where Neil grew up. Aside from live versions of This Note's for You songs, the album features a number of songs that were not released at the time; "Welcome to the Big Room", "Bad News Comes to Town", "Crime of the Heart" and "Doghouse" make their first appearances on any official Neil Young release. Two of the album's tracks, "This Note's for You" and "Ain't It the Truth," previously appeared on the compilation album Lucky Thirteen. Several of the songs from the tour and album were written as a teenager while Young was a member of The Squires. Young recalls writing these Jimmy Reed influenced songs in his memoir, Waging Heavy Peace: From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluenot...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
