In December 2020, Rolling Stone magazine released a Special Edition marking Young's 75th birthday, called "The Ultimate Guide to His Music & Legend", plus his 100 greatest songs. In a December 2020 Letters To The Editor article on the NYA website, Neil Young revealed that he is currently working on a new solo album, possibly for a 2021 release. The only thing Young had mentioned about the album so far is, "I've been waiting a long time." In January 2021, it was reported that Young had sold the rights to his back catalog to a British investment company. Hipgnosis Songs Fund had bought a 50 percent stake in Young's catalog, amounting to 1,800 songs from his Buffalo Springfield days, through the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young era and on to his solo career with the Crazy Horse backing band. Financial details were not disclosed but the value was estimated to be at least $150 million.
In June 2021, Young confirmed that he was working on an album with Crazy Horse titled Barn, which was released on December 10, 2021; the first single, "Song of the Seasons", was released on October 15. The album's second single, "Welcome Back", was released on December 3, along with a music video. A stand-alone film also titled Barn will be released on Blu-ray and will be directed by Daryl Hannah. Young also confirmed that he completed his third book Canary, his first work of fiction.
