Has anyone here heard Neil Young's new album "Living with War"?

You can listen to it at Neil's Garage on the internet using this link.

I really like "Let's impeach the president."

Thanks, Peter.

I appreciate the sentiment, even without hearing the music yet!

Much better than Prairie Wind. Lots of distorted guitar and good songs. I downloaded a n advance copy from a torrent. I have listened to most of it on my IPOD. This stuff sounded great on the first play! Highly recommended - probably Neil's best since Harvest Moon.

Not to my taste though I plan to buy it just to make a statement.

Not to my taste, and buying it will only make Neil Young richer.

But...that's capitalism doing its job, isn't it? ;-)

Yep, just like those contractors in Iraq, Neil Young is making money off of the war.

It's OK with me. That's the American way.

I loved this albumn. My friend, singer songwriter, Freebo, was part of the 100 person choir that backed Neil Young through this CD.

I think the song "Looking for a Leader" is great and America the Beautiful is a wonderful reminder that American's can still complain and speak out, this country is ours and we love it despite the problems.

I highly recommend at least a listen.

Thanks Peter for posting about this!

Wasn't there an earlier thread considering this new recording by Neil Young?

Hey sunnysister! Peace, love, dove, groovy, far out.

Am I getting through to you?

Is Crazy Horse backing him on this cd? I certainly hope not.

That would be this thread: Neil Young to Release Protest Album.

(All the Tom Wilson posts pushed a lot of recent stuff off the the list a bit early. Not that that's anyone's fault; just means folks need to do a quick filter check, like on "Neil Young" for the last 7 days, to make sure they're not starting superfluous threads. P'raps a Joe clone will combine these.)

On the topic: the NPR reviewer on today's All Things Considered (clicky) concluded with the comment, "Why did it take a 60-year-old Canadian to record the most passionate statement about the war?"

Neil young is 60 ... he has been living in the U.S. since he was in his early 20's .... His maternal grandfather was American ... that in itself would make him more 'American' than Canadian.

Hey Martin!

Thank so much for the positive thoughts you sent my way! Boy, did I need someone to send me a " Love, Dove, Groovy" posting- it was sure nice of you!

So, back at you and more of the same! And people said you were a mean old goat! Pee-shaw! You're an old softie, aren't you? Glad to hear it!

Hugs and kisses, Peace and love,

I may be an old softie but I am no longer an old hippie. At least I don't feel like one, anymore.

I thought "Living with War" was brilliant, both the music, and the sentiments!

Have we Brits anyone capable of making such a powerful album, with similar sentiments?
