Are You Passionate?



Are You Passionate? is the twenty-fifth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, the only album to feature Booker T. & the M.G.'s, and his eighth with Crazy Horse, released on April 9, 2002 as a double LP and as a single CD. It represents Young's foray into soul music, not sounding like anything he had previously released. Exceptions are rocker "Goin' Home", recorded with Crazy Horse, and the brooding "Let's Roll", a response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The album ends with "She's a Healer", an extended jam.

The track "Gateway of love" is listed on the back cover, but not included on the album. The song has never been released but was played at least once in concert with Crazy Horse; 24th July 24th 2001, at Sportpaleis Ahoy, Rotterdam. Bootleg recordings of this performance exist, where the song runs 8:36 minutes.
