One of the most influential artists of all time, Neil Young has set a standard of artistic integrity and iconoclastic creativity. Before starting his multi-platinum solo career, he was a founding member of the folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield and worked with the groups Crazy Horse and Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Dume is a 16-song album (2 LPs) by Neil Young with Crazy Horse from 1975, recorded during the Zuma recording sessions. It includes tracks and outtakes from Zuma. This album is included as CD No. 8 in Neil Young's Archives Volume II. This is the album's debut vinyl release.

Zuma marks Neil Young's second release of 1975, coming a mere five months after Tonight's the Night. Named after Zuma Beach in Malibu, California, the album finds Young backed by a new-look Crazy Horse in which the late Danny Whitten is replaced by Frank 'Poncho' Sampedro. Highlights of this fantastic album include the extended classics 'Cortez the Killer' and 'Danger Bird

Neil Young's seventh studio album, which was recorded with Crazy Horse, was released in 1975 and features the song "Cortez the Killer". The album peaked at #25 on the Billboard 200.

The unique album cover of Neil Young’s Zuma was sketched in less than 10 minutes by James Mazzeo in 1975—he was paid $2,000. It is a ballpoint-pen rendition of a bird and a naked lady and a cactus giving "the bird." The album name is a nod to Zuma Beach, Los Angeles, where Young owned a home.

"... the music had a lively sound well-suited to the songs, which were some of the most melodic, pop-oriented tunes Young had crafted in years, though they were played with an electric-guitar-drenched rock intensity. The overall theme concerned romantic conflict, with lyrics that lamented lost love and sometimes longed for a return ('Pardon My Heart' even found Young singing, 'I don't believe this song'), though the overall conclusion, notably in such catchy songs as 'Don't Cry No Tears' and 'Lookin' For A Love,' was to move on to the next relationship. But the album's standout track (apparently the only holdover from an early intention to present songs with historical subjects) was the seven-and-a-half-minute epic 'Cortez the Killer,' a commentary on the Spanish conqueror of Latin America that served as a platform for Young's most extensive guitar soloing since his work on Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." - William Ruhlmann, All Music
