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.

Crazy Horse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
Now and forever
From palm to palm
From hand to hand
Floating in the air she loves to find him there
She wants to live without ties to bind her down
She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl
She likes to burn
She likes to burn
She likes to burn
She likes to burn
She likes to burn
Out on the edge
That's when she gives
That's where she lives
Floating in the smoke
She says it gives her hope
She wants to live without ties to bind her down
She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl
She has the fire
She has the fire
She has the fire
She has the fire
She has the fire
But it's burning out
From hand to hand
From palm to palm
Floating in the air, she tries to hold it there
She wants to spin, and she lives in her own world
She wants to dream like she was a little girl
(She's always dancing) She wants to live without ties to bind her down
(She's always dancing) She wants to dance with her body left at ground
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing
She's always dancing now and forever
The lyrics of Crazy Horse's song "She" expresses the desire of a woman to live life on her own terms, without being tied down by social norms and expectations. She wants to dance freely with her body, unaffected by the world around her. She is in her own world, living in a world of her own creation, where she can dream like a little girl. The line "She likes to burn" could be interpreted in different ways - it could refer to her desire for excitement and thrill, or possibly as a metaphor for her passion and energy.
The woman in the song finds freedom and hope in the smoke, where she can be herself without fear of judgement or restrictions. However, the line "But it's burning out" suggests that her freedom is temporary and fleeting, as she struggles to hold onto it. Overall, the song is a celebration of the power of the individual spirit and the need for self-expression.
