NEIL YOUNG Released His 29th Album ‘LIVING WITH WAR’ Today 20 Years Ago – Painfully Relevant Again Today

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

2 May 2026

Rock icon NEIL YOUNG released his 29th LP, titled
LIVING WITH WAR, on 2 May 2006, today 20 years ago.

The album’s lyrics, titles, and conceptual style are highly critical
of the policies of then-President George W. Bush‘s administration.

The record is incredibly, painfully relevant again today with that rudderless orange narcissist in the White House who fucks up the world’s economy with his unfounded
and illegal Iran war.

Neil Young about the LP’s crucial track Let’s Impeach The President:

“When I wrote “Let’s Impeach the President,” a lot of people criticized it as a crappy song,
that it was such a terrible melody. What am I going to do, write a song like that and use a
good melody? That doesn’t make sense. You want a melody that pisses people off, that’s so stupid and repetitive that it aggravates people. ‘Ohio’ is about kids getting killed.

It’s about people you cared about personally, your own brother and sister. That’s when you
put everything you have, poetic, musical, performance-wise, at your command. Because you believe in it so much. “Let’s Impeach the President” is a political song about something that’s so wrong that the only way to point out how wrong it is by doing a song that’s wrong: smashing and pounding away at it. It was very successful in that respect.”

Pitchfork wrote: “Like Bruce Springsteen’s We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions,
this album features an elder rock statesman making an effective protest record
thanks to a raucously communal approach. Living With War’s short gestation benefits Young‘s performance, inspiring him to make his loudest, rawest release of new
material since at least Ragged Glory.

With his guitar re-tuned to its characteristic distorted snarl, and the clearly live
mix preserving bum notes and sloppy harmonica or trumpet solos, Young returns
to the spontaneous recording style of albums like Tonight’s the Night that best suits
his talents.

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.
