NEIL  YOUNG  &  PROMISE OF THE REAL   2016 flac.

Earth is not really a “live” album at all. For an album recorded while touring a collection of songs about food awareness, there is very little organic or even natural about Earth.

 

At a certain point, we hear  crows and frogs chiming in during the human applause occasionally (and seemingly arbitrarily) thrown at the end of some tracks. For the most part, the animals are harmless.  What really gets our attention, then, is when Young uses the animal sounds for rhythmic effect, punctuating the downbeats with cawin

NEIL YOUNG  and  PROMISE OF THE REAL  -  THE VISITOR 2017  flac.

Neil Young  released a new album, entitled EARTH, on June 17thvia Reprise Records. The album features performances of songs from a range of Young's albums,including last year's The Monsanto Years, 1990's Ragged Glory, and 1970's After the Gold Rush.The audio was captured during Young's 2015 tour with The Promise of the Real, fronted by LukasNelson (vocals/guitar) and Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals) - Willie Nelson's sons. The tour includedYoung performing solo and with the band for a full electric show.

A new take on some of Young's most beloved songs, EARTH features the live recordings, along withadded musical overdubs, as well as sounds of the earth, such as city sounds like car horns, soundsof insects, and animal sounds from bears, birds, crickets, bees, horses, cows - creating a verystrange, yet beautiful atmosphere.

"Ninety-eight uninterrupted minutes long, EARTH flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughoutmy life, songs I have written about living here on our planet together," says Young. "Our animalkingdom is well represented in the audience as well, and the animals, insects, birds, and mammalsactually take over the performances of the songs at times."
