Neil Young won’t quit. And only Neil would do this:

“Ninety-eight uninterrupted minutes long, EARTH flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughout my life, songs I have written about living here on our planet together,” says Young. “Our animal kingdom is well represented in the audience as well, and the animals, insects, birds, and mammals actually take over the performances of the songs at times.”

Also from the press release: EARTH features the live recordings, along with added musical overdubs, as well as sounds of the earth, such as city sounds like car horns, sounds of insects, and animal sounds from bears, birds, crickets, bees, horses, cows – creating a very strange, yet beautiful atmosphere.

Earth will be released on June 17th. Listen to a live version of “Seed Justice” below.


The track-listing for EARTH is as follows:
“Mother Earth” (from Ragged Glory)
“Seed Justice” (previously unreleased)
