Recorded in Telluride, Colorado, Young's Colorado is the first new Neil Young with Crazy Horse album since 2012's Psychedelic Pill. The album features 10 new Neil Young compositions and includes several songs that Neil has been playing live in the months prior to it's release (eg: "Rainbow of Colors", "Green Is Blue" and "Milky Way"), and the epic 13+ minute track "She Showed Me Love."

The double LP version of the album comes with a bonus 7" single, featuring an album outtake "Truth Kills." The 7" also includes a live, solo version of "Rainbow of Colors" from Portland, Oregon, on May 17, 2019 — the first time Neil ever performed this song live.

Young says "We believe we have a great Crazy Horse album, one to stand alongside Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Rust Never Sleeps, Sleeps With Angels, Psychedelic Pill and all the others."

This incarnation of Crazy Horse is Neil Young on vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica and vibes, Billy Talbot on bass, Ralph Molina on drums and features the return of Nils Lofgren on guitar and piano, almost 50 years since he last appeared on a Crazy Horse album (1971). The album is produced by Neil Young and John Hanlon and was recorded in Colorado in April and May 2019.
