From there, Young and the Chrome Hearts are slated to come to the U.S., kicking off the North American leg of the tour on August 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the Pnc Music Pavilion. They will play a string of performances across the country, making stops in cities such as New York, Chicago and Denver, before ending the tour on September 20 at the Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Young debuted the Chrome Hearts band during a show last year...

Time fades away, but Neil Young never does. He’s been on a like-a-hurricane live roll lately with his ferocious new band the Chrome Hearts, who make their studio debut on Talkin to the Trees. The band came together fast last year, after Neil’s amazing spring tour with his old outlaw pals in Crazy Horse. Since Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot are both over 80, Neil was one of the youngest dudes in his own band — he’s still a spring chicken of 79. Health issues ended the tour early, almost exactly a year ago,...

The grizzly swung with its massive right paw. In a desperate attempt to protect his head, Jon Bentzel raised his left arm above him like a karate block and ducked, bracing for the impact of the enormous, fur-lined paw. The bear clubbed him, rattled his dome, hit his wristwatch, and then straddled him. Bentzel thought he was going to die and hoped it would be quick. The force shook him to his core.

Bentzel had on his backpack and was lying in the fetal position, screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs — petrified,...

Six days after previewing the song at the semi-annual Light Up The Blues charity show, Neil Young has officially released “Let’s Roll Again” from his upcoming LP Talkin’ To the Trees, which arrives June 13. It may sound like a sequel to his 2002 September 11 song “Let’s Roll,” but it’s actually a plea for auto manufacturers to act responsibly and create more electric vehicles.

“C’mon Ford, C’mon Gm,” he sings. “C’mon Chrysler, let’s roll again/Build somethin’ useful, people need/Build us a safe way...

Neil Young has announced a new album with his band, the chrome hearts. Titled Talkin to the Trees, the album serves as the group’s debut LP together and will arrive on June 13th via The Other Shoe/Reprise. Young has also revealed a new song that he debuted in Los Angeles last week, “Let’s Roll Again,” which takes a swipe at Elon Musk and Tesla.

Talkin to the Trees features Young in all his glory, as well as chrome hearts members Spooner Oldham (Farfisa organ), Micah Nelson (guitar and vocal), Corey McCormick (bass and vocal), and Anthony LoGerfo (drums). Comprised of 10 songs, the album was recorded by longtime producer Lou Adler, John Hanlon, and Young himself. The group previewed Talkin to the Trees initially with a lead single, “big change,” back in January.

Neil Young and Stephen Stills joined forces Saturday night for the semi-annual Light Up the Blues charity show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. They shared the bill with Billy Idol and Steve Stevens, Cat Power, Nathaniel Rateliff, Rufus Wainwright, and Linda Perry to raise money for Autism Speaks.

“Everybody’s just in the best mood and it gets better and better throughout the day,” I overheard a fan say Thursday afternoon at the 2025 Luck Reunion. His observation was spot-on. For its 13th year, the boutique festival held on Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch in Spicewood, Texas — just outside of Austin, as the song goes — proved to be unlike any music fest on earth.

With stages set up in and around the Old West buildings that dot the grounds, a movie set where Nelson filmed his 1984 Western Red Headed Stranger,...

Stephen Stills and Neil Young will perform together at L.A.’s Greek Theatre on April 26 for the biennial Autism Speaks fundraiser Light Up The Blues alongside special guests Linda Perry, Cat Power, Christina Applegate, Chris Stills, and Oliver Stills. Tickets go on-sale February 28.

The first Light Up The Blues took place in 2013 at L.A.’s Club Nokia with guests Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Don Felder, Jack Black, Lucinda Williams, and Ryan Adams. Over the past decade, everyone from John Mayer and Jack Black to Patti Smith, Joe Walsh, Willie Nelson,...

Neil Young and his new band, the Chrome Hearts, are hitting the road this summer for an extensive world tour in support of their upcoming LP, Talkin’ to the Trees. The tour kicks off June 18 in Rättvik, Sweden, and wraps up Sept. 15 in Los Angeles. A 48-hour presale for members of the Neil Young Archives begins Feb. 25. The general on-sale starts Feb. 28.

“Music unites!” Young wrote on his official website. “We will be there with you! Join us as we celebrate the Summer of Democracy. Old songs and new songs.

Neil Young recently teamed up with Micah Nelson, Spooner Oldham, and Promise of the Real’s Corey McCormick and Anthony Logerfo for a new band dubbed neil young and the chrome hearts, and today, the group has unveiled their debut single, “big change.”

Co-produced by Young and Lou Adler, “big change” is a guitar-driven, hard-hitting rock song with politically-charged lyrics forewarning listeners of the titular “change,” which “could be bad” or “could be great,” according to Young’s impassioned wail. Underneath, the power of the band comes together with a raw, uproarious energy, conveying the urgency of the times with a timeless, familiar grit.

After collaborating with Micah Nelson (Willie Nelson’s son) for several years, Young debuted the chrome hearts project at Farm Aid last year. Now, the band is expected to tour in 2025, but no dates have been confirmed, with the exception of Glastonbury 2025 — which Young pulled out of,...

Just two days after labeling Glastonbury a “corporate turn-off” and pulling out of the UK festival before the 2025 lineup was even announced, Neil Young has reversed himself and will indeed be one of the headliners.

“Due to an error in the information received, I had decided to not play the Glastonbury festival,” Young wrote on the Neil Young Archives, “which I have always loved. Happily, the festival is back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing! Hope to see there there!”

Glastonbury co-organizer Emily Eavis confirmed the news...

Neil Young has reversed course and decided to play the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2025 after all.

Earlier this week, the legendary musician announced that he had pulled out of appearance at the UK festival, citing concerns that the event has taken a “corporate turn.” He cited Glastonbury’s ties to the BBC and them wanting “us to do a lot of things in a way that we were not interested in.”

However, in a new statement posted to his official website on Friday, Young explained that the information he had received was “an error” and “the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing! Hope to see you there!”

In her own statement, Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis confirmed that Young would be headlining the festival’s Pyramid stage. “What a start to the year! Neil Young is an artist who’s very close to our hearts at Glastonbury.

Update: Neil Young has decided to play Glastonbury in 2025 after all, saying that his initial decision to pull out of the festival was “an error.”

Neil Young has withdrawn from his scheduled appearance at the UK’s Glastonbury Music Festival in 2025, citing concerns that the legendary event has taken a “corporate turn.”

The musician’s issues with Glastonbury apparently stem from its ties with the BBC. In a note posted to his website, Neil Young Archives, Young wrote, “We were told that the BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way that we were not interested in. it seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way i remember it way being.”

“We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn – off, and not for me like it used to be,...

Neil Young has backed away from plans to perform at England’s massive Glastonbury Festival this summer. “The Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all time favorite outdoor gigs,” Young wrote in an open letter on the Neil Young Archives. “We were told the BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot for things we were not interested in. It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being.

Three days after posting a rare live performance of the title track to his 2000 LP Silver and Gold as part of his Fireside Sessions video series, Neil Young dug deeper into his past and broke out “Pardon My Heart” in a new clip. The song appears on Young’s 1975 LP Zuma, but hadn’t been played live in 50 years. Click here to check it out.

The mournful “Pardon My Heart” was first heard live on May 16, 1974, when Young played a surprise late-night set at New York’s Bottom Line after a Ry Cooder show.

The world may have devolved into a cruel, dark, Hobbesian state of nature in 2024, but it was a pretty amazing time for live rock music. The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band were in stadiums, Pearl Jam, Weezer, David Gilmour, and Olivia Rodrigo headlined arenas, Neil Young and Crazy Horse hit the shed circuit, and Yes cut itself in half and still managed to out-prog all their competitors at theaters and amphitheaters all over the country.

I saw a lot of rock concerts over the past 12 months,...

This week Neil Young did two amazing club shows at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, with his new band the Chrome Hearts. He began both nights with “I’m the Ocean,” one of his fiercest songs, from the 1995 Pearl Jam collaboration Mirror Ball. “People my age, they don’t do the things I do” — that was a great line when he was on the edge of turning 50, but it’s a whole other experience hearing him snarl it now at 78. On Monday night he sang that verse twice,...

Two days after making their debut at Farm Aid, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts played their first headlining show Monday night at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. The 14-song set mixed gentle acoustic songs (“Come a Time,” “Journey Through the Past”) with wild, Crazy Horse-style electric numbers (“Big Time,” “Powderfinger,” “I’m the Ocean”) heavy on jams.

The highlight was an epic “Down by the River” that spanned 13 minutes, featuring extended guitar interplay between Young and Micah Nelson. The band also featured organist Spooner Oldham, drummer Anthony LoGerfo,...

Three months after calling off his summer tour with Crazy Horse due to an unspecific illness in the band, Neil Young returned to the concert stage Saturday evening at Farm Aid in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was backed by his new group the Chrome Hearts, which features organist Spooner Oldham, guitarist Micah Nelson, and the Promise of the Real rhythm section, bassist Corey McCormick and drummer Anthony LoGerfo.

Their abbreviated set kicked off with a trio of songs from Harvest Moon: “From Hank to Hendrix,” “Harvest Moon,” and “Unknown Legend.

Willie Nelson has released a new cover of The Flaming Lips’ fan favorite “Do You Realize??” It will appear on his upcoming album, Last Leaf on the Tree. Stream it below.

Nelson’s interpretation of “Do You Realize??” stays more grounded than the original, layering a piano and harmonica with acoustic guitar and stark vocals. Knowing that his son, Micah Nelson, produced the project with the theme of “facing death with grace” adds deeper meaning to lyrics like, “Instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know/ You realize that life goes fast.”

The Flaming Lips released “Do You Realize??” in 2002 as the first single from their beloved album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. The band is currently touring with Weezer (get tickets here).

Meanwhile, Last Leaf on the Tree is out on November 1st and also features Nelson’s cover of “Last Leaf” by Tom Waits.

Neil Young, Stephen Stills, and John Mayer are coming together Oct. 5 in Lakes Hughes, California, to headline Harvest Moon, a charity concert benefiting the Painted Turtle Camp and the Bridge School. General admission tickets go on sale Sept. 6 for $275. (VIP packages are also available, with more info at the official Harvest Moon website.)

The event will take place on the grounds of the Painted Turtle, which gives children with serious medical conditions an opportunity to attend camp for free. The Bridge School, which was co-founded by Pegi Young in 1986, is...

Three months ago, Neil Young and Crazy Horse pulled the plug on their Love Earth summer tour with little explanation besides “a couple of us got sick.” In a new Zoom Q&a with paid subscribers of the Neil Young Archives, Young gave fans a much fuller account of what went down.

“A couple of us really hit a wall,” he said. “I just woke up one morning on the bus and I said, ‘I can’t do this, I gotta stop.’ I felt sick when I thought of going onstage.

The announcement of Willie Nelson’s 76th studio album, Last Leaf on the Tree, comes with good news and better news. The good news is that the lead single is Nelson’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” a track that Waits cut with Keith Richards for 2011’s Bad as Me. The better news is that Nelson sings it à la Nelson and doesn’t attempt a gravel-throated Waits impression. Instead, Nelson’s rendition features impressionistic guitar ear candy, a little accordion, and drums that sigh along with Nelson as...

Willie Nelson has confirmed the release of Last Leaf on the Tree, which will serve as his 153rd album. The new album will arrive on November 1st.

Nelson, now 91, shared his last studio album The Border back in May. For Last Leaf on the Tree, Nelson’s son Micah curated a list of songs for Willie to cover, including The Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize??,” Beck’s “Lost Cause,” and Tom Waits’ “Last Leaf,” which serves as the album’s title track. There are also covers of songs by Warren Zevon, Nina Simone, Keith Richards, Sunny War, and more, plus a few originals.

“Last Leaf” originally appeared on Tom Waits’ 2011 album Bad as Me, and Nelson’s cover is just as poignant. Across blooming strings and a lonesome accordion, Nelson reflects on aging and a life of experiences with tenderness and patience. Take a listen to “Last Leaf” below.

Before Micah Nelson, before Nils Lofgren, and before Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, there was Danny Whitten. The original Crazy Horse guitarist died over 50 years ago, but the mark he made on Neil Young and the band persists to this day. Just watch this clip from the recent, now-suspended tour, where Nelson sings backup on “Cinnamon Girl.” Those harmonies — simultaneously honeyed and gravelly, providing just enough support without overshadowing, yet so powerful and full of potential — echoes Whitten. He’s the spirit of Crazy Horse that never really went away.

“Every musician...

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have suspended their Love Earth Tour, which was slated to resume July 8 in Toronto, and keep them on the road through the end of September.

“When a couple of us got sick after Detroit’s Pine Knob, we all had to stop,” they wrote in a statement on the Neil Young Archives. “We are still not fully recovered, so sadly our tour will have a big unplanned break. We will try to play some of the dates we miss as time passes when we are ready to rock again!

Neil Young and Crazy Horse are about halfway through their North American tour, and there’s already a strong fan consensus that this is their best run in recent memory, perhaps even going back to the Nineties grunge era they helped kickstart. A big factor at play is the addition of guitarist Micah Nelson, who has deep respect for the material and an uncanny ability to emulate the distinct styles of both Danny Whitten and Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, his two main predecessors in the band.

Just two years away from his 80th birthday,...

Shortly after the dissolution of Buffalo Springfield in 1968, Neil Young teamed up with the core members of struggling L.A. rock band the Rockets, renamed them Crazy Horse, and spent the next five decades working alongside them. Their first record was 1969’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, featuring classics like “Down By The River” and “Cowgirl In The Sand.”

But their early recording sessions produced a lot more music than the seven songs on Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, and Young is finally sharing this music on June 28 with the release of Early Daze.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse played Firstbank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, Thursday evening after a one-night rain delay. They rewarded the patient fans with a wild, extended set packed with surprises.

The first one came five songs in when Young dug out the On the Beach deep cut “Vampire Blues.” He brought the song back into his live rotation in 2015 after a 41-year break, but only at Promise of the Real and solo shows. This was the first time it’s ever appeared at a Crazy Horse concert. Drummer Ralph Molina...

Neil Young + Crazy Horse have released their latest album, Fu##In’ Up.

Officially credited to “Neil & The Horse,” Fu##In’ Up sees the legendary songwriter team up with musicians Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Nils Lofgren, and Willie Nelson’s son Micah Nelson to reimagine the tracks from the group’s 1990 album, Ragged Glory.

Recorded at The Rivoli in Toronto last November, Fu##In’ Up demonstrates the jammier side of the ensemble’s capacities, and was “made this for the Horse lovers,” according to Young himself. “I can’t stop it,” he said in a statement. “The Horse is runnin’. What a ride we have. I don’t want to mess with the vibe, and I am so happy to have this to share.”

Fu##In’ Up is available now in its entirety on digital, CD, and vinyl formats. Stream it on Apple Music or Spotify below.

Neil Young played his “Love Earth Tour” kick-off show with Crazy Horse at San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre on Wednesday night (April 24th).

The 14-song setlist primarily consisted of Young’s most beloved hits, including “Down by the River,” “Cortez the Killer,” “Cinnamon Girl,” “Powderfinger,” and “Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black).” Notably, “Cortez the Killer” featured Young singing some of the song’s original lyrics from a manuscript that he only recently rediscovered.

In typical Neil Young fashion, virtually nothing was revealed about his 2024 U.S. tour before it kicked off Wednesday night at San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, other than the fact he’d be backed by Crazy Horse, and that Micah Nelson would be taking over guitar duties from Nils Lofgren. Would he pull a Greendale and debut an entire rock opera nobody had ever heard? Would he focus the set around the three new studio albums he cut with Crazy Horse between 2019 and 2022? Might he...

From a certain perspective, Micah Nelson’s entire life has been building up to the Neil Young and Crazy Horse tour this summer, where he’ll be taking over for Nils Lofgren as the group’s new guitarist. As the youngest son of Willie Nelson, Micah, 33, has been exposed to Young’s catalog for longer than he can even remember. “Neil’s music always sort of being around in the periphery,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I grew up going to Farm Aid every year, so he was always this sort of figure,...

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have confirmed details of their new album, Fu##In’ Up. The nine-track LP will initially be available for Record Store Day 2024 on April 20th, before receiving a wide release on April 26th.

Fu##In’ Up was recorded in 2023 by Young, Billy Talbot, Ralph Molina, Micah Nelson, and Nils Lofgren. It finds the band revisiting and re-recording material featured on their acclaimed 1990 album, Ragged Glory. With the exception of “Farmer John,” Young retitled all of the songs featured on Fu##In’ Up.

“In the spirit it’s offered, we made this for the Horse lovers,” Young said in a statement. “I can’t stop it. The Horse is runnin’. What a ride we have. I don’t want to mess with the vibe, and I am so happy to have this to share.”

Willie Nelson is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday night, but according to his latest interview, when he got the call that he had been voted in, he “thought they had the wrong number.”

That’s what Nelson said on Thursday night’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (his second appearance on the program this week). Pulling his famous tour bus up to the show’s studio on 53rd Street in Manhattan, Nelson was joined by Colbert for a chat around the bus’s table, speaking about the significance of his induction into the Rock Hall, his early days of songwriting, his new book, the upcoming screening of his 90th birthday concert film, and more.

Recorded earlier this year to celebrate Nelson’s milestone 90th birthday (on April 29), the two-hour special took place in front of a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. The performers included Sheryl Crow, Snoop Dogg, Keith Richards, The Chicks, and Chris Stapleton. Additional performers included Beck, Gary Clark Jr., Norah Jones, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews, George Strait, Nelson’s sons Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson, and, of course, Nelson himself.

Willie Nelson stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night to perform “I Never Cared for You.” The track appears on Nelson’s upcoming greatest hits collection, which is set to drop this Friday — just ahead of his long overdue induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Red Headed Stranger took the stage with a full band (including his son and frequent collaborator Micah Nelson) and gave a spirited rendition of the 1964 song. His delivery added an extra bite to lyrics like, “Your heart has been forewarned all men will lie to you.” Replay the full performance below.

Nelson has a long history with Colbert dating back to the latter’s years on The Colbert Report. Back in 2008, Nelson and Colbert channeled David Bowie and Bing Crosby on an original song called “Little Dealer Boy” for A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!

Willie Nelson has announced a new album titled Bluegrass, out September 15th via Legacy Recordings. As a preview, he’s shared the new track “You Left Me a Long, Long Time Ago.”

As the title implies, Bluegrass features 12 classic songs from Nelson’s expansive catalog reinterpreted with his bluegrass ensemble. All of the tracks selected for the album were penned by Nelson, except for “Good Hearted Woman,” which he co-wrote with Waylon Jennings. Other highlights include “On the Road Again,” “Yesterday’s Wine,” and “Still is Still Moving to Me.”

The album was produced by Nelson’s longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon and features contributions from Barry Bales (upright bass), Ron Block (banjo), Aubrey Haynie (fiddle), Rob Ickes (dobro), Josh Martin (acoustic guitar), Mickey Raphael (harmonica), Seth Taylor (mandolin), Bobby Terry, and Dan Tyminski (mandolin). Its cover art was made by Willie’s son Micah Nelson. Pre-orders are ongoing.

Just call them the Rolling Stoners.

You know you are music royalty when Keith Richards shows up to pay his respects. And the Rolling Stones icon was on hand Sunday for the second and final night of Willie Nelson’s epic, 90th birthday concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
