The Great Ali Handal
Singer/songwriter Ali Handal Sings on Neil Young's New CD/DVD "Living With War"
Here is Ali's Personal Account of the Neil Young Recording Session:
"What a wild experience I had last week -- at 9:30pm last Wednesday night, I got a call to be a part of a vocal session for Neil Young's new album & DVD! Myself, along with 99 other singers (including the top session singers in Los Angeles), showed up at the Capitol Records recording studios on Thursday morning for a 12-hour session of backing Neil up on ten songs...it was really fun, and some of the work was challenging (try to get 100 singers to exactly match Neil Young's timing, pitch, & inflection on every line in a song!).
The album is a VERY political, anti-war CD, and at one point, when the whole lot of us were repeatedly belting out "don't need" at the tops of our lungs, I felt like I was in a session for Pink Floyd's "The Wall" ("we don't need no thought control...") -- it was very cool!!
It was exciting to be working on such a high-profile session with so many of my friends, and having the opportunity to meet and hang out with icons of the session-singing world (we're talking about people who have sung on albums with Stevie Wonder and sung in Disney films!). Not to mention working with Neil Young himself -- he was there the whole time, supervising and occasionally helping us fine tune our vocal parts.
And, yes, I did meet Mr. Young -- in fact, I've posted a photo of us taken after the session on the Photos page of my website. He was a very nice guy, and very gracious after a long day of recording."
