Neil Young and Crazy Horse: Zuma

Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 15 January 1976

"It's another rock & roll album. A lot of instrumental things... it's about the Incas and the Aztecs. It takes on another personality. It's like being in another civilization. It's a lost sort of form, sort of soul-form that switches from history scene trying to find itself, man, in his maze. I've got it all written and all the songs learned. Tomorrow we start cutting them. ... We're gonna just do it in the morning. Early in the morning when the sun's out..."
– a typically ironic Neil Young describing Zuma
