A couple of weeks ago imperishable rock star and political activist NEIL YOUNG
said in a press release that a 2nd LP with The Chrome Hearts was in the making.

Young who cancelled all his planned concerts for this summer gave more details
regarding the upcoming album via an update on his Archives website. He revealed
that 3 of the songs were written more than 60 years ago.

Young: “It’s quite a special album to me. Music is a gift and when it comes
like this I really feel it. Everything here feels so good. I hope you will agree.”

He goes on to say that the album includes five news song, noting
they recorded four on day one in the studio, and the fifth on day two.

“We were then out of songs. We needed more. The next morning I had a song going
through my head and was playing it. I checked it out in the archives and found it was
from 1963, unreleased.”

“There were three more. I found the three others with it, also
unreleased. Three 60 year old songs and five brand new ones!”

Yep, that’s some more details, but the album’s title and exact
release date (somewhere this summer) is still unknown.

First album with The Chrome Hearts, named
Talkin’ To The Trees was released last year,
in June.

NEIL YOUNG Released His Melancholic 28th Album ‘PRAIRIE WIND’ 20 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

27 September 2025

Living legend NEIL YOUNG released his 28th longplayer
PRAIRIE WIND today 20 years ago, on 27 September 2005.

An acoustic-based record reminiscent of his earlier albums Harvest and Harvest Moon.
The album’s songs find Young pondering his own mortality, as he was undergoing treatment for an aneurysm during the album’s production.

Songs were also inspired by the extended illness of his father, Canadian sportswriter and novelist Scott Young, who passed a few weeks after the album was completed. The LP is dedicated in part to the elder Young.

It peaked at #11 in the US and #22 in the UK.

Pitchfork wrote: “That voice, alternately gentle and strident, tender and outraged,
has held up surprisingly well, gaining gritty authority with age. His few cracks and
wrinkles just reinforce the sense of wistful nostalgia that suffuses Prairie Wind as
well as almost all his other folk-rock albums since Harvest Moon, if not since
Harvest.”

Vintage Young melancholia.

FARM AID – First Edition Was Held 40 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

22 September 2025

On 22 September 1985, today 40 years ago the first edition
of FARM AID was held at the Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL.

The star-studded event featured performances by big names such as
Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young, B.B. King,
Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Neil Young.

The inspiration behind Farm Aid came a few months earlier at the Live Aid concert,
during which Bob Dylan spoke about the crisis facing family farmers – many of whom
were in danger of losing their farms due to massive mortgage debts.

The impassioned speech inspired fellow singer-songwriters Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young to organize the now long-running annual benefit concert. Roughly 80,000 music fans attended and raised over $9 million for US family farmers.

NEIL YOUNG Released His Torpedoed 15th LP ‘OLD WAYS’ 40 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

12 August 2025

Living legend NEIL YOUNG released his 15th LP OLD WAYS today 40 years ago,
on 12 August 1985. It was his first pure country album, but his record label Geffen
Records didn’t like it, ’cause they thought it was unsaleable. Fuck them. Another sad
example of how money-greedy corporate monsters disrespect the artist’s vision when
they think they can’t get enough money out of it. It happened then, it still happens now.

They refused to promote it, so the truly wonderful LP
stranded at #39 in the UK and #75 in the US.

Young said a few years later to Rolling Stone Magazine: “There was a whole other record, the original Old Ways, which Geffen rejected. It was done in Nashville in only a few days, basically the same way Harvest was done. Old Ways II was more of a country record – which was a direct result of being sued for playing country music.

The more they tried to stop me, the more I did it. Just to let them know that no one’s gonna tell me what to do. I was so stoked about that record. I sent them a tape of it that had eight songs on it. I called them up a week later, ’cause I hadn’t heard anything, and they said, “Well, frankly, Neil, this record scares us a lot. We don’t think this is the right direction for you to be going in.” … They didn’t look at me as an artist; they looked at me as a product, and this product didn’t
fit in with their marketing scheme.”
