"Even diehard Neil Young fans may not fully appreciate this offshoot in his bulging catalog. But this remarkably vibrant and immediate live compilation shows that Young took this side road very seriously and it was more than just a forgettable, momentary quirk in his diverse and winding career."
- American Songwriter
Bluenote Café is a live album by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, released on November 13, 2015, on Reprise. The album is volume eleven in Young's Archives Performance Series, and features performances from Young's 1987–88 American tours with his then-backing band, The Bluenotes (renamed here as Bluenote Café for legal reasons), with whom he recorded his seventeenth studio album, This Note's for You.
Aside from live versions of This Note's for You songs, the album features a number of songs that weren't released at the time; "Welcome to the Big Room", "Hello Lonely Woman", "Bad News Comes to Town", "Crime of the Heart" and "Doghouse" make their first appearances on any official Neil Young release ("Doghouse" was covered in 2011 by Young's then-wife Pegi on her album Bracing for Impact). Two of the album's tracks, "This Note's for You" and "Ain't It the Truth," previously appeared on the compilation album Lucky Thirteen.
