Crazy Horse has also released 5 albums of its own. They have received inconsistent critical reaction, partially due to the band's frequent and radical lineup changes; though bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina appear on every album, few other musicians have appeared on more than one. The band's first and best-received self-titled album also featured Jack Nietzsche, Nils Lofgren, and Danny Whitten, who became the topic of various Neil Young songs after his heroin overdose in late 1972. On Crazy Horse's 1972 album, "Loose," they were all replaced with John Blanton, Greg Leroy, and George Whitsell, who was a member of Crazy Horse's predecessor The Rockets. Crazy Horse's third album also released in 1972, "At Crooked Lake," replaced those three with Rick and Mike Curtis.
Later that decade in 1978, Crazy Horse released another album under its own name entitled "Crazy Moon." This would feature, along with the steady Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina, some guest work by Neil Young and guitarist Frank Sampedro, who had joined the band in 1975 for Young's album "Zuma." This lineup would be used for many of Crazy Horse's albums with Neil Young through the rest of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. In the late 1980s, Young used Frank Sampedro in his R&B-styled Bluenotes backing band, but did not use Molina or Talbot as he thought their style was unfitting. Now without Sampedro, Crazy Horse recruited Sonny Mone and Matt Piucci for their most recent album, "Left For Dead," released 1989. Piucci would later play on Billy Talbot's 2006 solo release. The album's title track is a pointed remark about their frustrating relationship with Young in the late 1980s, and included a number of other references to Neil Young and his work.

but she don't want me hangin' 'round
She says she needs some time to wonder
how she can see me so far down
She says you know i don't believe you
..
I say I want you and I need you
Oh sister .. I say, stick me into your ..
And sister .. she say, "I don't ever do what I'm told"
But sister .. I say now .. we can use
And sister she say, "I don't want .. time I can lose"
Like a window .. sunshine, like the summers always needin' some rain
Well sister .. wants to save me again and again and again
But there ain't no driving wheel that can roll without needin' some gears
And there never was a woman who could .. for ninety-nine years
Crow Jane Lady
There's ..
Crow Jane Lady
.. time is windin' up the road
Crow Jane Lady
There's lots of .. you can hold
Crow Jane Lady
The time is windin' up your road
Crow Jane Lady

The lyrics to the song "Crow Jane Lady" by Crazy Horse tell a story of a woman named Sister Quarry who wants to distance herself from the singer. She needs time to think about how she can be associated with someone who is so far down, which could mean the singer is struggling with addiction or depression. The singer professes their love and need for Sister Quarry, but she doesn't believe them, likely due to a lack of trust or past experiences. The song speaks to the idea of redemption and how one person's love and support can make all the difference, while acknowledging the struggles one can face in trying to overcome their demons.
The repetition of the "Crow Jane Lady" chorus adds a layer of mystery to the song, as it's unclear who or what "Crow Jane Lady" is referring to. It could be a metaphor for something or someone holding the singer back, or it could be an actual person who represents a roadblock in the singer's life. The lyrics also touch on the idea of time and how it's winding up the road, suggesting a sense of urgency or a deadline for the singer to make a change.
