Neil's FarmAid '14 set (haven't listened yet):

Pegi's new single is called "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers," which, despite being written by Spooner Oldham, could be a zing on Neil's new squeeze, confessional, or a nod to "Welfare Mothers."

Yep, and just now got this from New West (think I'll check out her new album too) Note that Neil's consistent re blondes, and that she's got his frequent bass player, Rick Rojas (real good in Buffalo Springfield reunion show tapes, for inst)

PEGI YOUNG & THE SURVIVORS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM, LONELY IN A CROWDED ROOM, OCTOBER 27 ON NEW WEST RECORDS

IN CONJUNCTION WITH 28TH ANNUAL BRIDGE

SCHOOL BENEFIT CONCERT

LISTEN TO THE SPOONER OLDHAM-PENNED "LONELY WOMEN MAKE GOOD LOVERS" PREMIERING AT POPMATTERS

Los Angeles, CA, September 29, 2014 - Pegi Young & The Survivor's fourth album, Lonely In A Crowded Room, will be released October 27 on New West Records. The LP coincides with the 28th annual Bridge School Benefit Concert, which will feature Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Florence and the Machine, Tom Jones, Brian Wilson, Soundgarden, Norah Jones and Puss and Boots, Band of Horses and Pegi Young & The Survivors, and will take place October 25-26 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif. New West has pledged a portion of the proceeds of the album's sales will go to the Bridge School, the non-profit co-founded by Pegi and Neil Young in 1986, which assists children like their son, Ben, with severe speech and physical impairments and complex communication needs.

The album follows 2011's Bracing For Impact, and builds off what Rolling Stone described as "an appealingly scruffy mix of low-fi Western swing, wry honky-tonk and dusky blues shuffles," while expanding into jazzy lounge, soulful R&B and classic country. The record was produced by Niko Bolas (Warren Zevon, The Mavericks, Melissa Etheridge, Neil Young) and recorded at Redwood Digital Studios on Broken Arrow Ranch; MilkBoy the Studio in Philadelphia and at Capitol Records in Hollywood.

Lead track, "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers," penned by legendary songwriter and musician Spooner Oldham, and featuring him on keyboards, is premiering over at Popmatters.com today. The song was originally recorded in 1972 by Bob Luman and later became a No. 4 hit (Billboard Hot Country Single) in 1984 for Steve Wariner. In addition to seven new originals, including her comical take on the pharmaceutical industry in the jazzy "Better Livin' Through Chemicals" and the charged up rocker "Feels Just Like A Memory," Pegi also offers up a heart-wrenching take on the 1963 soul classic, "Ruler of My Heart," written by producer Allen Toussaint under the pseudonym of Naomi Neville and made famous by Irma Thomas.

Pegi's band, The Survivors includes an all-star line-up of incredible musicians: Spooner Oldham on keyboards, Kelvin Holly on guitar, Rick Rosas on bass and Phil Jones on drums and percussion.

Following the Bridge School Benefit Concert, Pegi & The Survivors will embark on a month-long headlining tour across the country in support of Lonely In A Crowded Room. All tour dates below.

first i asked myself where's the link for the song?
than i heard it. and i understand why there's no link.

seriously, without her connection to Neil no one would have released her records.

Haven't listened yet, but this site usually has good audio (Lukas & The Real can be a trip live, and Lukas provided good stoner Jimmy Webb drama on Willie's Heroes)

NEIL YOUNG, WILLIE NELSON
with Lucas Nelson and Promise Of The Real
Harvest The Hope Concert Against The Keystone XL Pipeline 2014 [no label, 2CD]
Live at The Art & Helen Tanderup Farm, Neligh, NE; September 27, 2014. Very good audience recording.

Two music legends - Neil Young and Willie Nelson - will perform a benefit concert on September 27 on a farm near Neligh, Nebraska that is on the route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and also crosses the historic Ponca Tribe “Trail of Tears.” Proceeds from the “Harvest the Hope” concert will go to Bold Nebraska, the Indigenous Environmental Network and the Cowboy & Indian Alliance, to fund the ongoing fight against the Keystone XL pipeline, as well as a number of small, community-based clean energy projects on farms and tribal land. The afternoon concert will take place in a field on a farm owned by a family who are part of a strong collective of Nebraska landowners refusing to sell their land to TransCanada for the Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline, and a sacred tribal ceremony will be included in the day’s events.

was psyched about the jj cale cover, but it doesn't seem like neil is involved in it...

NEIL YOUNG TO RELEASE NEW STUDIO ALBUM, STORYTONE, ON NOVEMBER 4TH VIA REPRISE RECORDS
VINYL EDITION TO FOLLOW ON DECEMBER 16TH
PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE TODAY, OCTOBER 9TH

October 9, 2014 - (Burbank, CA.) - Neil Young will release his latest studio album, entitled Storytone, on November 4th via Reprise Records. Storytone has 10 brand new compositions recorded live in the studio with a 92-piece orchestra, choir and Young.

He took a different approach with this record, first recording the songs on his own in a solo-setting, then creating compelling versions of the songs in a new light with an orchestra and big band, resulting in a deeply-personal emotional listening experience throughout the new record.

The first track released from the album is "Who's Gonna Stand Up?," which was originally performed at Crazy Horse shows in the U.K. this summer and more recently, as part of Young's solo acoustic set at Farm Aid. The track captivated audiences in its resounding plea to end dependence of fossil fuels in hopes of protecting the Earth's fragile eco-systems for future generations. To learn more about the initiative, visit: http://www.neilyoung.com/news/.

In addition to the new single available on Soundcloud, other standout tracks from the album include the bittersweet album opener "Plastic Flowers," the bluesy swing of "I Want To Drive My Car," the aching "Tumbleweed," or the heartfelt "When I Watch You Sleeping." Each song evokes an entirely different feel within the context of its presentation.

The pre-order for Storytone is available now at all participating digital retailers including iTunes & Amazon. Configurations include; a standard CD edition that features the 10 orchestral song versions of Storytone, the deluxe CD edition (containing both standard and solo versions), and the deluxe 180 gram double vinyl pressing, which will be released on December 16th and will feature both versions of the album.

Those who pre-order the deluxe CD edition, deluxe vinyl edition or the PonoMusic edition will receive instant downloads of both the orchestral and solo versions of "Who's Gonna Stand Up?"

Exclusive album bundles include a limited edition, heavy stock lithograph of the album artwork by Neil Young.

All of the Storytone music was produced by The Volume Dealers (Neil Young and Niko Bolas), recorded and mixed by Al Schmitt with additional co-production, arrangements, orchestration, and conducted by Michael Bearden and Chris Walden.

The track-listing for Storytone is as follows:

Plastic Flowers
Who's Gonna Stand Up?
I Want To Drive My Car
Glimmer
Say Hello To Chicago
Tumbleweed
Like You Used To Do
I'm Glad I Found You
When I Watch You Sleeping
All Those Dreams

Emphasis mine.

I Want To Drive My Car

we know, neil!

Say Hello To Chicago

One of the least-effective arrangements on the record; he means Chicago the band.

Preorder price on the vinyl at amazon (now disappeared): $69.95

"Harvest Moon" popped on random shuffle the other day. Man, if there were just one Neil album Pegi will probably want to avoid for life ...

one of those new tunes -- sounds pretty good!

Neil on why new memoir two years after first (fine w me):

http://www.npr.org/2014/10/12/355564085/neil-youngs-writes-of-his-love-affair-with-cars

Don't want to sound like a broken $49.95 180 gram record, but two memoirs in two years and no archive box for five going on six...can we at least get the Danny Whitten comp next year?

Neil said he will not release Archives II until the laws are changed and people are allowed to marry their cars.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/12-things-we-learned-from-howard-sterns-interview-with-neil-young-20141014

We're starting to build and scale up, but the demand for them was awesome…We're making this for people that want it. We're not making it for people that don't want it, but they may not know then want it until they hear it. It's a gentle revolution. We're not trying to bowl over the world. We don't think success is anything you can tangibly see. It's a smile."

put THAT in a quarterly report

also pumped for his album about how great paddleboarding is

Neil Young on the Howard Stern show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIwWAX6bHwI

I still haven't listened/watched that yet.

it's gone now, i think

Stern didn't ask him about his divorce? Sheesh, what a missed opportunity. Probably the topic was off limits.

Yeah I'm sure, Stern is kinda used to pushing ppl on stuff but I don't think ppl can make Neil do anything he doesn't want to do

Supposedly Stern, for some reason, has always wanted Neil Young on his show (and this get comes right after getting Bill Murray; is Stern dying!?!). But didn't Neil somewhere note that Stern understood his extreme disinterest in discussing his domestic situation? My guess is Stern wanted Young so bad he'd rather stay mum than have him walk out a la Pete Townshend.

Speaking of which, David Crosby has been mouthing off a lot more than usual lately, and the implication is that Crosby dissing Daryl Hannah is what caused Neil to, out of nowhere, announce no more CSNY ever. Like anyone expected it. He and the Cros are very much at odds.

Crosby didn’t mince words when the Idaho Statesman asked him to weigh in on the news that his on-again, off-again longtime creative partner Neil Young had filed for divorce from his wife of nearly 40 years, saying you’d never see him breaking his marriage vows. “Not gonna happen, man,” he vowed. “I’ve been with my wife 37 years, and I’m in love with her. I ain’t goin’ nowhere.”

Crosby also made it clear that he doesn’t think much of Young’s new girlfriend (rumored to be actress Daryl Hannah). “Thirty-seven years! That’s a freakin’ miracle,” he continued. “And I just don’t feel the urge to go try something new. And I happen to know that he’s hanging out with somebody that’s a purely poisonous predator now. And that’s karma. He’s gonna get hurt. But I understand why it happened. I’m just sad about it. I’m always sad when I see love get tossed in the gutter.”

Why can't they just go on as three

Crosby was always a jerk.

Btw, the colbert interview was funny

Why can't they just go on as three
